Setup Procedures

Choosing the Connecting Method

4 First make sure how existing IDE devices are connected to your computer, and then determine how to connect the CRW2100E drive in conjunction with those devices.

● As an additional drive (set as secondary slave)

If the casing of your computer has a spare 5.25-inch drive bay available, such as with many tower-type designs, you can install the CRW2100E drive in addition to the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive.

● As a replacement drive (set as secondary master)

If the casing of your computer does not have a spare 5.25inch drive bay available, such as with many desktop-type designs, you can replace the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW2100E drive.

CD-ROM drive n You cannot replace the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW2100E drive using the existing cable if the drive is a SCSI type. In this case, use an IDE cable to connect the

CRW2100E drive.

Setup Procedures

5 Remove the front cover of a vacant 5.25-inch drive bay slot in the computer.

About IDE

1

IDE (Enhanced IDE/E-IDE) is one of the standards applied to the connection between personal computers and their peripherals. A computer motherboard provides two IDE connectors (primary and secondary). (Although, some motherboards provide only a primary connector.) You may connect up to two IDE devices (hard disk, CD-

ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors using an IDE cable. One of the devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and the other called “slave.”

Setup Procedures

Setting the Jumper Switches

8 Set the CRW2100E drive as master or slave to meet your computer environment by plugging the included plastic shunt to the appropriate jumper switch on the rear panel of the CRW2100E drive.

n The CRW2100E drive is shipped with the SLAVE setting. Thus, you do not reset the factory setting if you plan to use the CRW2100E drive as slave. If you connect the drive solely to the secondary IDE cable or replace the drive with an existing master device, you need to set the

CRW2100E drive as master.

• If an IDE cable has already been connected to the secondary

IDE connector, replace it with the IDE cable.

• If you wish to continue using the IDE device you just removed, connect it to an available primary or secondary IDE connector.

• When you connect two IDE devices to one IDE cable, be sure to assign them master or slave uniquely.

n To make the best use of the performance of the CRW2100E drive,

Yamaha recommends you connect it as a sole secondary master.

Setup Procedures

@ Connect the audio cable between the CRW2100E drive and the computer’s sound card, or the motherboard’s audio connector if it has built-in audio. One end of the audio cable has two connectors: a vertically-mounted type (PH) and a horizontally-mounted type (MPC).

Choose the one that matches your sound card’s connector. The connector at other end of the cable is connected to “ANALOG AUDIO

OUT” on the CRW2100E drive. Make sure the connector’s lug is at the top.

Horizontally-mounted type (MPC)

Sound card

Vertically-mounted type (PH) n You do not need to connect the audio cable to write audio CDs since the audio is passed over the IDE bus. It is required to play back audio CDs on the CRW2100E drive via the computer’s sound card. However, if a CD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, you should use this drive to play back your audio

CDs. To listen to audio CDs without a computer sound card, connect headphones or speakers to the headphone jack on the CRW2100E drive’s front panel.

n If you use the digital audio output, you need a digital audio cable with an appropriate connector at each end, and a sound card that has a digital audio input.
