Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation. See user manual instructions if interference to radio reception is suspected. FCC INFORMATION (U. S. A. ) 1. [. . . ] Make sure you have all the necessary tools. First Steps Once you have taken the CRW8424S drive out of its packaging, you should immediately note down the serial number shown on the top of the drive together with a barcode. You may need to refer to this number when requesting User Support services. In the box below the following diagram, write down the 10-character serial number (consisting of 3 letters followed by 7 digits). Drive's serial number (3 letters + 7 digits) Serial No. Before fitting the CRW8424S drive into the computer, you need to set up the drive using the jumper switches located at the rear of the unit. You'll need to set the following: q q q q SCSI ID number Parity check Termination Block size 8 Installation To set each jumper switch, you have to bridge the two pins in the respective column of the grid with a plastic shunt. Shunts are already attached to the jumper switches in their default configurations.

When removed, the jumper switch is set to "OFF Store unused shunts in a safe place where they will not be lost. . " Use a pair of long-nosed pliers to attach or detach the shunts accordingly. However, make sure that the computer is switched off when doing so. 9 Installation 1 SCSI ID number Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its SCSI ID number. You need to assign a number from "0" to "7" for each SCSI device. Commonly, ID number "7" is reserved for the computer's SCSI adapter card itself. Therefore, the CRW8424S can actually be assigned an ID number from "0" to "6. " The ID number is set by attaching/detaching the shunts on the ID Select jumper switches according to the diagram shown below.

Make sure the CRW8424S drive's SCSI ID number is not the same as that of any other device on the chain. By factory default, the CRW8424S is assigned ID number "3" but this can be changed. n The CRW8424S is compliant with the SCAM Level 1 protocol. This means that if there is a conflict between the manually-assigned SCSI ID of the drive and the ID of another SCSI device on the same chain, the CRW8424S is automatically assigned an alternative vacant SCSI ID by the Plug and Play component of Windows 95/98/NT4. 0. 10 Installation 2 Parity Check The parity check is used for error correction during data transmissions. If parity-checking has to be disabled, the shunt on the Parity jumper switch should be removed. Parity ON (Default) Normally leave this setting alone.

The SCSI terminator switch should be set to "ON" if the CRW8424S is the last device on the internal SCSI chain. If the CRW8424S is not the last device on the internal SCSI chain, the shunt on the Terminator jumper switch should be removed.

CRW8424S q As a replacement drive If the casing of your computer does not have a spare 5. 25-inch drive bay available, such as with many desktop-type designs, you can replace the computer's existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW8424S drive. CD-ROM drive CRW8424S n When replacing an IDE-type CD-ROM drive with the CRW8424S drive, you will also need a SCSI adapter card and an internal SCSI flat cable. 13 Installation Fitting the CRW8424S as an Additional Drive 1 Power down your computer and unplug it from the AC outlet. If you proceed without doing this, you run the risk of receiving an electric shock and/or short-circuiting and damaging components including the CRW8424S drive. 2 Remove the outer casing of the computer. If you need to remove screws in the process, make sure you don't lose them. n The method for removing the casing and fitting the drive in the drive bay can vary depending on the manufacturer. [. . . ] With CD-R, the space used by the erased data cannot be reused and is "masked" so that it is no longer visible. This can be done up to 100 times. 36 Appendix About the firmware The "firmware" is a small piece of software built into the CRW8424S drive, and is used to control its basic operation. Since it resides in flash memory, it can be overwritten and updated. To ensure the correct operation of the CRW8424S drive, updates to the firmware will be made available. [. . . ]
