1.
Ensure that the CDROM's facia has been removed, if not then carefully prise off the facia with a
small flat bladed screwdriver (See 'Preparing a new CDROM drive' before this section).
2.
Set the jumper on the rear of the drive to master, a diagram of the jumper settings can either be
found on a rear or top label.
3.
In order to make sure the CDROM drive does not move from it's position in transit, put two
small beads (3mm in diameter) of high grab adhesive in between the drives mounting holes
(perform on each side). See figure 1.
4.
The CDROM bracket is not symmetrical, the flat edge fits to the front left hand side of the
chassis and the angled part is secured to the two mounting pillars opposite within the chassis.
Mount each side of the CDROM drive to the bracket using 2x M3 screws. See figure 2.
5.
Gently place the drive into the chassis making sure that the foam EMC gasket (between the
front panel and CDROM drive) does not obscure the CDROM's play and eject buttons. Not
correctly positioning the drive can also result in the EMC gasket pushing the front of the drive
up, mis-aligning the CDRom drawer front. See figure 3.
6
Align the drive holes with those on the bracket, making sure its flush against the front panel
metalwork then insert and tighten the 4x M4 screws. See figures 3 & 4.
7.
Clean any excess adhesive that may have smeared above the bracket with a damp cloth.
8.
Connect the IDE cable from Secondary IDE socket (marked PL9) on the motherboard to the
CDROM drive. Do not plug the IDE cable in to the socket marked 'Front Panel' as this will
damage the drive. (See page *DA_MOTHERBOARD_LAYOUT* for motherboard layout)
9.
Connect the Power cable and Audio lead to the drive and ensure the power cable is neatly
retained by the bunny clips.
10. Replace / Fix the EMC tape from the front panel to the top of the CDROM drive See figure 6.
11. Finally, fit the CDROM drawer front, if required (See page *DA_FITTING_CDROM_FRONT*)
