Introduction  
This section will give you a description of this option and the software which comes  
with it, as well as some information you will need before you install the option.  
Product description  
The IBM can write and read CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) and CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
discs, and can read mass-produced stamped CDs. As a result, CDs created by this  
drive are compatible with MR (Multi-Read) CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives that can  
read CD-RW discs and other media types, and with older non-MR CD-ROM drives  
that can read only CD-R and CD-ROM discs.  
The drive writes to CD-RW and CD-R discs at different speeds. The drive can write  
to a CD-RW disc at up to four times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at  
up to 1200 KB1 per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB2  
of information on a CD-RW disc in about 18 minutes. The drive can write to a CD-R  
disc at up to eight times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 2400  
KB per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB of  
information on a CD-R disc in about nine minutes. The drive can also read data at up  
to 32 times the standard CD-ROM speed, or 9600 KB per second.  
Note: To use the drive’s CD-recording function, you must install the Easy CD  
Creator/DirectCD software (included) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows  
95, or Windows NT 4.0. For more information on the Easy CD

.5/ DC-power connector  
This port connects the CD-RW drive to the computer power supply cord.  
Installing the drive  
Follow these steps to install the CD-RW drive into your computer.  
Step 1. Opening the computer  
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.  
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.  
3. Remove the cover from the computer.  
Step 2. Unpacking the drive  
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch it to an  
unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity  
from the package and your body.  
2. Remove the drive from the bag.  
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface,  
such as a magazine, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.  
Step 3. Selecting an IDE port  
Newer computers typically have two IDE ports, each of which can support two  
devices. Typically, the IDE port connected to your hard disk drive is the primary IDE  
port. The other IDE port is the secondary port. The IDE port and the cable position  
that you select determine which configuration jumper setting you use for the drive.  
Ÿ
If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-RW drive to the secondary IDE port  
on your system board or IDE adapter. If the CD-RW drive is the only device on  
the secondary IDE port, use the master configuration setting. If the CD-RW drive  
is the second device on the secondary port, use the subordinate (or slave)  
configuration setting.  
Ÿ
If you must attach the CD-RW drive to the primary IDE port (the same port as a  
hard disk drive or other fast device), use the subordinate setting for the CD-RW  
drive and the master setting for the faster device. In some instances, you might  
need to change the hard disk drive configuration setting to  
master-with-subordinate-present when attaching a subordinate device on the same  
cable. For further information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices,  
Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-5  
 
refer to the documentation that comes with your computer or with the device in  
question.  
Ÿ
Some non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where the position of  
the device on the cable determines whether a device is master or subordinate.  
See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your  
computer supports this setting.  
Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper  
The illustration shows the master .1/ setting, the subordinate (or slave) .2/ setting,  
and the cable-select .3/ setting. Configure the CD-RW drive by placing the jumper  
over the set of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in “Step 3. Selecting an  
IDE port.”  
Ÿ
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as master, set the jumper to the master  
.1/ device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a  
second device on the IDE port, make sure that device is configured as  
subordinate.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as subordinate, set the jumper to the  
subordinate .2/ device setting. Make sure that the other device on the IDE port  
is configured as master (or master-with-subordinate-present).  
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as cable-select, set the jumper to the  
cable-select .3/ device setting. If there is another device on the IDE port, make  
sure that the second device is also configured for cable-select.  
Step 5. Mounting the drive in the bay  
Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5 mm mounting screws in the option  
package. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.  
You can mount the CD-RW drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you  
mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the drive before  
the drive tray is closed, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read the CD properly.  
For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically mounted drive, go to page  
1-12.  
1-6 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required  
procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that comes  
with your computer for further instructions.  
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or  
mounting bracket; then thread the screws in loosely to check their positions.  
Usually two screws are used on each side.  
3. Check to make sure the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the  
drive. Do not overtighten.  
Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive  
Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows.  
1. If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound  
function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine  
which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one  
end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector .1/, and  
the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save the other  
cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.  
2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector .2/ to the IDE connector on the drive.  
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable  
connector .3/. Use the IDE cable provided with this option if there is no cable  
attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE  
cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your  
system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable  
to the CD-RW drive.  
3. Locate one of the available power cords attached to your computer power source.  
Attach the four-pin power cable .3/ to the CD-RW drive dc power connector.  
Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-7  
 
Step 7. Completing the hardware installation  
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly attached.  
2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not block  
the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.  
3. Reinstall the computer cover.  
4. Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have become  
disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.  
5. Plug all power cords into electrical outlets.  
Step 8. Attaching the faceplates  
This option package includes two faceplates that conform to the curved design of  
certain computers. If your computer has a curved design, you can attach one of the  
included faceplates so that the front of the CD-RW drive matches the exterior cabinet.  
Choose the faceplate that best fits your computer, and attach it after you have mounted  
the CD-RW drive in the appropriate bay.  
Note: Depending on the exterior design of your computer, you may need to attach  
the faceplate before placing the cover back on your computer.  
Step 9. Updating your computer configuration  
After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually,  
the configuration-setup information screen is displayed. If this screen is not displayed,  
check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration  
or setup utility program.  
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during startup.  
When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit.  
Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the CD-RW  
drive information when you review the configuration-setup information. You still  
can use the CD-RW drive in this situation if you have properly completed the  
installation.  
Step 10. Installing the (optional) DOS device driver  
Note: This device driver is not necessary to use the CD-RW drive with most  
operating systems. It is only necessary if you plan to use the CD-RW drive as a  
CD-ROM drive with DOS, or you need to access the CD-RW drive using a DOS  
prompt. Be sure to see the READ.ME file on the Option Diskette for the latest  
information about the software on the Option Diskette.  
The IBM Option Diskette contains device drivers that allow you to access the CD-RW  
drive from a DOS prompt.

Product description  
The IBM can write and read CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) and CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
discs, and can read mass-produced stamped CDs. As a result, CDs created by this  
drive are compatible with MR (Multi-Read) CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives that can  
read CD-RW discs and other media types, and with older non-MR CD-ROM drives  
that can read only CD-R and CD-ROM discs.  
The drive writes to CD-RW and CD-R discs at different speeds. The drive can write  
to a CD-RW disc at up to four times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at  
up to 1200 KB1 per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB2  
of information on a CD-RW disc in about 18 minutes. The drive can write to a CD-R  
disc at up to eight times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 2400  
KB per second. At this rate, the drive can record approximately 650 MB of  
information on a CD-R disc in about nine minutes. The drive can also read data at up  
to 32 times the standard CD-ROM speed, or 9600 KB per second.  
Note: To use the drive’s CD-recording function, you must install the Easy CD  
Creator/DirectCD software (included) for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows

Installing the drive  
Follow these steps to install the CD-RW drive into your computer.  
Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-19  
 
Step 1. Opening the computer  
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.  
2. Unplug the power cords for the computer and all attached devices.  
3. Remove the cover from the computer.  
Step 2. Unpacking the drive  
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch it to an  
unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity  
from the package and your body.  
2. Remove the drive from the bag.  
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface,  
such as a magazine, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.  
Step 3. Selecting an IDE port  
Newer computers typically have two IDE ports, each of which can support two  
devices. Typically, the IDE port connected to your hard disk drive is the primary IDE  
port. The other IDE port is the secondary port. The IDE port and the cable position  
that you select determine which configuration jumper setting you use for the drive.  
Ÿ
If you have two IDE ports, connect the CD-RW drive to the secondary IDE port  
on your system board or IDE adapter. If the CD-RW drive is the only device on  
the secondary IDE port, use the master configuration setting. If the CD-RW drive  
is the second device on the secondary port, use the subordinate (or slave)  
configuration setting.  
Ÿ
If you must attach the CD-RW drive to the primary IDE port (the same port as a  
hard disk drive or other fast device), use the subordinate setting for the CD-RW  
drive and the master setting for the faster device. In some instances, you might  
need to change the hard disk drive configuration setting to  
master-with-subordinate-present when attaching a subordinate device on the same  
cable. For further information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices,  
refer to the documentation that comes with your computer or with the device in  
question.  
Ÿ
Some non-IBM computers support the cable-select setting, where the position of  
the device on the cable determines whether a device is master or subordinate.  
See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your  
computer supports this setting.  
1-20 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper  
The illustration shows the master .1/ setting, the subordinate (or slave) .2/ setting,  
and the cable-select .3/ setting. Configure the CD-RW drive by placing the jumper  
over the set of pins corresponding to the setting you chose in “Step 3. Selecting an  
IDE port.”  
Ÿ
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as master, set the jumper to the master  
.1/ device setting. (This is how the drive is set when it is shipped.) If there is a  
second device on the IDE port, make sure that device is configured as  
subordinate.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as subordinate, set the jumper to the  
subordinate .2/ device setting. Make sure that the other device on the IDE port  
is configured as master (or master-with-subordinate-present).  
If you are configuring the CD-RW drive as cable-select, set the jumper to the  
cable-select .3/ device setting. If there is another device on the IDE port, make  
sure that the second device is also configured for cable-select.  
Step 5. Mounting the drive in the bay  
Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5 mm mounting screws in the option  
package. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.  
You can mount the CD-RW drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you  
mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the drive before  
the drive tray is closed, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read the CD properly.  
For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically mounted drive, go to page  
1-12.  
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required  
procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that comes  
with your computer for further instructions.  
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or  
mounting bracket; then thread the screws in loosely to check their positions.  
Usually two screws are used on each side.  
3. Check to make sure the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the  
drive. Do not overtighten.  
Part 1: Installation and usage guide 1-21  
 
Step 6. Attaching the cables to the drive  
Connect the cables to the CD-RW drive as follows.  
1. If you want to connect the CD-RW drive to your sound adapter or to the sound  
function on your system board, locate the included audio cables and determine  
which cable best fits the CD audio-in port on your sound adapter. Connect one  
end of the selected audio cable to the CD-RW drive audio-out connector .1/, and  
the other end of the cable to your sound adapter CD audio-in port. Save the other  
cable in case you use a different sound adapter in the future.  
2. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector .2/ to the IDE connector on the drive.  
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable  
connector .3/. Use the IDE cable provided with this option if there is no cable  
attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE  
cable. If you use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your  
system board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable  
to the CD-RW drive.  
3. Locate one of the available power cords attached to your computer power source.  
Attach the four-pin power cable .3/ to the CD-RW drive dc power connector.  
Step 7. Completing the hardware installation  
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly attached.  
2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not block  
the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.  
3. Reinstall the computer cover.  
4. Reconnect all devices and check any devices that might have become  
disconnected, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.  
5. Plug all power cords into electrical outlets.  
1-22 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
Step 8. Attaching the faceplates  
This option package includes two faceplates that conform to the curved design of  
certain computers. If your computer has a curved design, you can attach one of the  
included faceplates so that the front of the CD-RW drive matches the exterior cabinet.  
Choose the faceplate that best fits your computer, and attach it after you have mounted  
the CD-RW drive in the appropriate bay.  
Note: Depending on the exterior design of your computer, you may need to attach  
the faceplate before placing the cover back on your computer.  
Step 9. Updating your computer configuration  
After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually,  
the configuration-setup information screen is displayed. If this screen is not displayed,  
check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration  
or setup utility program.  
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during startup.  
When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit.  
Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the CD-RW  
drive information when you review the configuration-setup information. You still  
can use the CD-RW drive in this situation if you have properly completed the  
installation.  
Step 10. Installing the (optional) DOS device driver  
Note: This device driver is not necessary to use the CD-RW drive with most  
operating systems. It is only necessary if you plan to use the CD-RW drive as a  
CD-ROM drive with DOS, or you need to access the CD-RW drive using a DOS  
prompt. Be sure to see the READ.ME file on the Option Diskette for the latest  
information about the software on the Option Diskette.  
The IBM Option Diskette contains device drivers that allow you to access the CD-RW  
drive from a DOS prompt.  
To install the IBM Option Diskette device drivers for Windows 98, Windows 95,

Appendix B. Problem solving  
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. You might be  
able to use the information in this section to solve problems yourself, or gather helpful  
information you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to refer to  
your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter documentation. You can also use  
the problem-solving diagnostic program for DOS on the IBM Option Diskette. For  
more information on the diagnostic program, see “Diagnostics” on page 2-12.  
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your situation.  
Troubleshooting  
Your computer or CD-RW drive does not operate correctly or the busy indicator  
light does not come on.  
Take the following actions:  
1. Check that the CD is loaded with the label side up.  
2. Check that all devices are properly connected to the computer and the electrical  
outlet.  
3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your  
computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover.  
4. Check that all power and IDE cables are securely attached. Disconnect the IDE  
cable and check for bent or misaligned pins. If you do not find any problems,  
reconnect the interface cable. Replace the computer cover, and reattach all cables  
and power cords. Turn on the computer, restart the system, and attempt to open  
the CD tray by pressing the Eject/Load button. If the tray fails to open and the  
busy indicator light does not come on, turn off the computer and try using another  
4-pin dc power cable.  
5. Check that the color-coded edge on the IDE cable aligns with pin 1 on the IDE  
port and is closest to the power cable on the CD-RW drive. See “Step 3.  
Selecting an IDE port” on page 1-5.  
6. Check that the IDE cable is connected to the proper IDE port connection. See  
“Step 3. Selecting an IDE port” on page 1-5 for more information.  
7. Check the CD-RW drive and any other device on the IDE cable for the proper  
Master/Slave jumper settings. See “Step 3. Selecting an IDE port” on page 1-5  
for more information.  
8. If the middle connector on the IDE cable is attached to the IDE port on the  
system board, remove the connector and reattach the cable. If there is only one  
device on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end of the cable to the IDE  
port and the connector at the other end to the device, leaving the middle  
connector (if there is one) open.  
Part 2: Appendixes 2-5  
 
If there are two devices on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end of the  
cable to the IDE port. If there is a hard disk drive, attach it to the connector at  
the other end of the cable and attach the CD-RW drive to the middle connector.  
You cannot format a CD-RW disc.  
Take the following actions:  
1. Verify that your computer has the latest level IDE CD-ROM device driver for  
your CD-ROM drive. Refer to the documentation for your computer or your  
CD-ROM drive to determine which device driver file to look for.  
2. Verify that your system has the latest level IDE controller device driver. Refer to  
the documentation for your computer or IDE controller to determine which device  
driver file to look for.  
You cannot create a multisession disc.  
Be sure that there is enough space left on the media for another session. Writing a  
session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data that  
is recorded.  
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.  
Take the following actions:  
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus  
program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software. Disable the functions  
that might interrupt the write operation.  
2. Verify that your computer has the minimum processor listed in the system  
requirements for this option.  
3. Verify that the hard disk drive has been defragmented.  
4. Replace the disc if it is damaged or scratched.  
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and CD-RW  
drives.  
You cannot eject a CD.  
Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of writing  
to a disc:  
1. Eject the CD through the software.  
2. Use the Eject/Load button.  
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try using  
the Eject/Load button again.  
4. If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole, using instructions given  
in “Manually ejecting a CD” on page 1-13.  
2-6 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
You cannot read from the CD after successfully writing to it.  
Take the following actions:  
1. If you can read the CD in another CD player or you can see previous sessions,  
the directory information might be damaged on the volume, making it unreadable.  
Check the Adaptec software online user’s guide for more troubleshooting ideas.  
2. You might have a damaged CD-R or CD-RW disc. Try a new CD-R disc or  
CD-RW disc, or another brand of disc.  
3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive, but not in another MR  
drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed on the computer which  
contains the other MR drive. For more information on installing the UDF Reader  
program, go to “Step 11. Installing the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD software” on  
page 1-9.  
4. Verify that you are not attempting to write the disc under extreme environmental

IBMIDECD.SYS device driver file, the line in CONFIG.SYS is in the following  
format:  
DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS /D:device name  
[/P:xxx,yy] [/A:n] [/U:n]  
[/L:xx] [/T:n] [/I:n]  
(Do not truncate the actual device driver entry. Place the complete DEVICE= on one  
line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)  
[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS  
The above parameter specifies the location (drive and directory) and name of the  
device driver file.  
Use the following options to configure the device driver.  
/D:device name  
This parameter specifies the device name of the CD-ROM drive. This name  
must be identical to the device name specified in the MSCDEX.EXE  
parameters, as shown:  
DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1ðð  
/P:xxx,yy  
This parameter specifies the address and interrupt level of the port to which the  
IDE CD-ROM drive is connected.  
Part 2: Appendixes 2-13  
 
The device driver automatically checks the industry standard primary IDE port  
(address 1F0, interrupt 14) and secondary IDE port (address 170, interrupt 15).  
The /P parameter is not needed if your CD-ROM drive is connected to either of  
these ports. However, if your computer (or IDE adapter) uses different IDE  
port addresses or interrupts, you must use this option. Refer to the instructions  
that come with your computer or IDE adapter for more information about the  
configuration of your computer or adapter.  
xxx is the base address of the IDE port.  
1F0 for the primary IDE port (Port 1)  
170 for the secondary IDE port (Port 2)  
yy is the interrupt (IRQ) level.  
14 for the primary IDE port (Port 1)  
15 or 10 for the secondary IDE port (Port 2)  
When four drives are connected, for example, the syntax in the CONFIG.SYS  
file would be:  
DEVICE=C:IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1ðð /P:1Fð,14  
/P:17ð,15 /P:1Eð,12 /P:16ð,1ð  
(Do not truncate the actual device driver entry. Place the complete DEVICE=  
on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)  
/A:n  
/U:n  
/L:xx  
This parameter specifies the audio play mode. For a stereo CD, you can type  
/A:0 or /A:1. For a monaural CD (left or right channel only), type /A:1 in order  
to play the monaural audio signal from the right and left channels. The default  
is n=0.  
This parameter specifies if your computer initializes with the CD tray unlocked  
or locked. /U:0 initializes with the tray unlocked. /U:1 initializes with the tray  
locked. The default command is n=0. This command might be used if you  
want to secure your CD in the drive.  
This parameter specifies the message language where xx designates the  
language.  
US  
GR  
FR  
SP  
IT  
English (default, does not need to be specified)  
German  
French  
Spanish  
Italian  
JP  
Japanese  
/T:n  
This parameter specifies time delays to be built into the IDE read loop. Use  
this parameter only in computers that do not support the IOCHRDY signal on  
the IDE bus, and in computers that read from the IDE port faster than the  
2-14 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
CD-ROM can provide data. This parameter is usually not required in most  
computers.  
n is a relative timing parameter that depends on processor speed. When the  
value of n increases, the drive data-transfer rate decreases. Valid values for n  
are 0 through 99. The default for n is 0, and the /T parameter is not required.  
/I:n  
This parameter enables interrupt sharing. If n=1, interrupt sharing is enabled.  
If n=0, interrupt sharing is disabled. The default value is 0. Set this parameter  
to enabled when the IDE interrupt must be shared with another device.  
Using Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions  
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE) is an executable program that works  
in conjunction with the device driver (IBMIDECD.SYS) to enable your computer to  
read CDs as DOS-formatted disks. MSCDEX is designed for DOS and Windows.  
The CDSETUP program automatically adds an MSCDEX statement to your  
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You can modify the default MSCDEX parameters to  
customize your installation. This section explains the function of each parameter. A  
text editor can be used to modify the MSCDEX statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT  
file.  
The following is the syntax of the MSCDEX.EXE entry in AUTOEXEC.BAT where  
[drive:][path]MSCDEX.EXE specifies the location (drive and directory) of the  
MSCDEX.EXE file.  
[drive:] [path]MSCDEX.EXE /D:device name  
[/M:n] [/E] [/V] [/L:drive letter]  
[/K][/S]  
(Do not truncate the actual device driver entry. Place the complete entry on one line  
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.)  
Use the following options to configure the device driver.  
/D:device name  
This parameter specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive (eight characters  
maximum). This name must be identical to the device name specified in the  
device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example:  
C:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IBMCD1ðð  
You might support multiple CD-ROM drives (of different types) by installing  
each of their device drivers (naming them different names) and placing a  
/D:device name in the MSCDEX line for each drive. For example, if you  
wanted to support an IBM IDE CD-ROM drive and an IBM SCSI CD-ROM  
drive, your CONFIG.SYS file might have these statements:  
DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IDE_CD  
DEVICE=C:\IBMCDROM.SYS /D:SCSI_CD  
and your AUTOEXEC.BAT file could include this statement:  
C:\MSCDEX /D:IDE_CD /D:SCSI_CD  
Part 2: Appendixes 2-15  
 
/M:nn  
This parameter specifies the number of sector buffers for temporary storage of  
the most recent CD data. For example, to specify 12 sector buffers you would  
use:  
C:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IBMCD1ðð /M:12  
The CDSETUP program sets this value to 10. The default value for MSCDEX  
with no /M parameter is 4.  
You can improve CD-ROM drive performance when you use larger default  
values. However, each buffer uses about 2 KB of memory, and too many  
buffer specifications might slow down your computer or interfere with other  
programs that have large memory-usage requirements. You might be able to  
specify a larger number of buffers to enhance CD-ROM drive performance  
without adversely affecting programs that have large memory-usage  
requirements if you use expanded memory (see the /E option in this section) or  
if you load MSCDEX.EXE into high memory using instructions given in the  
documentation that comes with your operating system or with the memory  
manager.  
/E  
This parameter instructs the computer to use expanded memory, if available.  
For example:  
C:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IBMCD1ðð /E  
Note that you must first load an expanded memory device driver before using  
this option. If no expanded-memory device driver is loaded, the following error  
message displays:  
Expanded Memory not present or not usable.  
/V  
This parameter instructs the computer to display a summary of RAM allocation  
and expanded memory usage at startup time.  
/L:drive letter  
This parameter specifies the drive letter to be assigned to the first CD-ROM  
drive. Do not assign a letter already used by an existing drive or your computer  
will not be able to access the CD-ROM drive. For example, you might use:  
C:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IBMCD1ðð /L:F  
Normally, the CD-ROM drive is assigned to the next available drive letter after  
devices such as diskette drives and hard disk drives. Therefore, you use this  
option only if you wish to assign a drive letter beyond the last letter previously  
allocated by DOS.  
/K  
This parameter instructs MSCDEX.EXE to use Kanji (Japanese) file structures,  
if present, rather than the default alphanumeric file structures.  
2-16 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
/S  
This parameter instructs MSCDEX.EXE to allow networked computers to share  
CD-ROM drives.  
Conserving DOS conventional memory  
If the CD-ROM drive-support software is loaded in DOS conventional memory (below  
640 KB RAM), there might be insufficient memory to run some DOS applications.  
The CDSETUP program attempts to load the IDE CD-ROM drive device driver and  
MSCDEX into upper memory, when possible, to avoid this problem.  
For more information on techniques to conserve conventional memory, refer to the  
following topics in the documentation that comes with your operating system:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
DOS=UMB, DOS=HIGH,UMB (CONFIG.SYS entry)  
This command enables the use of upper memory and loads DOS, MSCDEX, and  
the IDE CD-ROM device driver in upper memory.  
HIMEM.SYS (CONFIG.SYS entry)  
This is a device driver that manages extended memory (RAM memory above 1  
MB). Windows automatically loads this device driver.  
EMM386.EXE (CONFIG.SYS entry)  
This is a device driver that allows the extended memory made available by  
HIMEM.SYS to be used as expanded memory. The MSCDEX /E parameter  
might be used in conjunction with this device driver to move the cache allocated  
by MSCDEX into this memory, thus freeing some conventional memory.  
Ÿ
MEM /C /P (use from DOS prompt)  
This is a useful DOS utility that will display the current memory allocation in  
your computer to help you understand where device drivers and programs are  
located. To display the MEM parameters available, at the DOS prompt type  
mem/?  
Enhancing performance in DOS and Windows  
The following two procedures can enhance CD-ROM drive performance.  
1. Allocate more MSCDEX cache (see /M parameter for MSCDEX).  
2. Allow SMARTDRV to cache CD-ROM accesses.  
The CDSETUP program disables the cache CD-ROM data function. Multisession  
CDs are not compatible with the SMARTDRV caching method. If you do not  
plan to use PhotoCD or multiple-session CDs, you can enable caching by  
removing the /U parameter from the SMARTDRV line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT  
or CONFIG.SYS file. This might improve the performance of some CD-ROM  
applications. You must have SMARTDRV 5.0 or later to cache CD-ROM data.  
Part 2: Appendixes 2-17  
 
Updating the device driver for a DOS network server  
If you are using the CD-RW drive in a DOS Network server you need to make the  
following changes:  
1. Add the /S parameter to the MSCDEX line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  
2. Verify that the MSCDEX line is located after the line that loads the network  
services (NET START for IBM PC LAN program).  
3. Do one of the following, depending on your operating system:  
Ÿ
If you are using DOS 3.3, be sure you have PC Local Area Network (LAN)  
Program Corrective Service Diskette level IP00755 or later installed.  
Ÿ
If you are using DOS 4.0, be sure you have DOS Corrective Service Diskette  
level UR 29015 or later installed. (The computer cannot be configured as an  
Extended Services Domain Controller for the IBM PC LAN Program.)  
Contact your IBM reseller for more information about the PC LAN Program  
Corrective Service Diskette or the DOS Corrective Service Diskette.  
Changing the device driver for OS/2  
You might need to customize the setup that the DDINSTAL file has installed on your  
computer in order to meet your requirements. This section provides information and  
describes parameters that you might need to change or add for your installation.  
OS/2 uses the OS2CDROM.DMD device driver  
DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD [Options]  
to control all CD-ROM devices. The following parameters are available:  
/V  
/Q  
Instructs the computer to display the installation details.  
Suppresses messages during initialization.  
Changing the OS/2 device driver filter  
OS/2 uses the device driver filter IBMIDECD.FLT for ATAPI (IDE) CD-ROM drives.  
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT [Options]  
The following parameter is available:  
/V  
Instructs the computer to display installation details.  
Changing the OS/2 installable file system driver  
The file system device driver for OS/2 is CDFS.IFS. The following parameters are  
available:  
/C:n  
Indicates how many 64 KB RAM segments will be used for the sector cache.  
The default is (/C:2) two 64 KB RAM segments.  
2-18 IBM 4X/8X/32X CD-ReWritable Internal IDE Option Kit  
 
/M:n  
Indicates the maximum number of file sectors to be read at a time. The  
default is eight sectors (/M:8).  
/K  
/Q  
Uses Kanji supplementary volume descriptor.  
Suppresses messages during initialization.  
Changing the OS/2 IDE adapter device driver  
The following IDE device driver is available:  
BASEDEV=IBM1S5ð6.ADD  
(for ISA computers)  
This device driver controls IDE hard disk drives and IDE CD-ROM drives. At the  
OS/2 command prompt, type help IBM1S5ð6 to see the optional parameters that are  
available for ISA computers.  
Special parameters are required if your computer has an IDE controller that does not  
use a standard interrupt. Check the /A and /IRQ parameters in the OS/2 help utility.  
Changing the Windows 98 and Windows 95 device drivers  
Windows 98 and Windows 95 have two device driver configuration parameters: Auto  
Insert Notify and DMA.  
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start audio CD software as  
soon as a CD is inserted into the CD-RW drive.  
The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer DMA  
controller handle moving data from the CD to memory, freeing the computer  
microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might  
make movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor will be  
allocating more processing time to video.  
Changing the Auto Insert Notify and DMA parameters  
To change these parameter settings from the Windows 98 or Windows 95 desktop:  
1. Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel.  
2. Double-click System.  
3. Select Device Manager.  
4. Double-click CD-ROM.  
5. Click Properties.  
6. Select Settings.  
7. Click Auto Insert Notification or DMA.  
8. Click OK.

IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service, either at your location  
or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their  
Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a  
Machine based on its country of installation. IBM may repair the failing Machine or exchange it  
at its discretion.  
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller  
replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all  
removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good  
working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes  
the warranty service status of the replaced item.  
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed on a Machine  
which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an  
engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features,  
Part 2: Appendixes 2-23  
 
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that  
replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.  
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts,  
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.  
You also agree to  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its  
exchange;  
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you  
do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that  
IBM or your reseller provides,  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,  
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to  
permit them to fulfill their obligations, and  
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.  
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's possession or  
2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.  
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal  
information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason.  
You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.  
Production Status  
Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the  
Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's  
production status, IBM's appropriate warranty terms apply.  
Limitation of Liability  
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other liability, you are  
entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which  
you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,  
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible  
personal property; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000 (or  
equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the  
Machine that is the subject of the claim.  
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which  
IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an  
engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features,  
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that  
replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.  
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts,  
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.  
You also agree to  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its  
exchange;  
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you  
do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that  
IBM or your reseller provides,  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,  
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to  
permit them to fulfil their obligations, and  
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's possession or  
2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.  
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal  
information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason.  
You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.  
Production Status  
Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the  
Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's  
production status, IBM's appropriate warranty terms apply.  
Limitation of Liability  
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other liability, you are  
entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which  
you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,  
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible  
personal property; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000 (or  
equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the  
Machine that is the subject of the claim.  
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which  
IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE  
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES  
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2)  
LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,  
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS),  
EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF  
THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT  
APPLY TO YOU.
