Installing the drive in slimline IBM systems  
You can extend the capabilities of your computer by adding memory, drives, or  
adapters. When adding an option, use these instructions along with the  
instructions that come with the computer.  
Power and signal cables for internal drives  
Your computer uses cables to connect integrated drive electronics (IDE) drives  
to the power supply and to the system board. The following cables are  
provided:  
v Four-wire power cables connect most drives to the power supply. At the end  
of these cables are plastic connectors that attach to different drives; these  
connectors vary in size. Also, certain power cables attach to the system  
board.  
v Flat signal cables, also called ribbon cables, connect IDE and diskette drives to  
the system board. There are two sizes of ribbon signal cables that come with  
your computer:  
The wider signal cable has two or three connectors.  
- If the cable has three connectors, one of these connectors is attached to  
the drive, one is a spare, and the third attaches to the primary or  
secondary IDE connector on the system board.  
- If the cable has two connectors, one of these connectors is attached to  
the hard disk drive, and the other attaches to the primary or secondary  
IDE connector on the system board.  
Notes:  
1. If you want to add another device, and your computer does not  
come with a CD-ROM preinstalled, you will need a second signal  
cable with three connectors. You will meed an 80-conductor ATA 66  
signal cable if you are replacing the existing signal cable or adding  
a second hard disk. ATA 66 signal cables are color-coded. The blue  
connector attaches to the system board; the black connector attaches  
to the master device, and the gray middle connector attaches to the  
slave device.  
If your computer comes with a CD-ROM drive, it will have an ATA  
66 signal cable. However, if you are installing a hard disk drive,  
you must change the switch setting on the CD-ROM drive to  
secondary and change the connector used for the CD-ROM drive to  
the gray middle connector.  
2. If you are installing a slimline CD-ROM drive in the small form  
factor desktop model, the IDE cable requires a special connector to

Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver  
configuration settings  
Changing the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,  
Windows 2000, and Windows Me device drivers  
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Window Me 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 Slimline 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 for  
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me  
To change these parameter settings from the Windows 95, Windows 98, or  
Windows Me 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.  
Changing the Windows 2000 DMA parameter setting  
To change the DMA parameter setting for Windows 2000, do the following:  
1. Select Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.  
2. Double-click System.  
3. Click the Hardware tab.  
4. Click Device Manager.  
5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to open up the tree.  
6. Double-click the device that corresponds to your CD-ROM port. It is  
either Primary IDE or Secondary IDE.  
7. Click the Advanced Settings tab.

8. Select the Transfer Mode pull-down and select DMA if available.  
9. Click OK.  
10. Click Close to close the System Properties window. A message is  
displayed, informing you that the system settings have changed.  
11. Click OK to restart the computer.  
Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0  
Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0 requires installing a DMA bus master IDE  
controller driver. This may have been installed at the factory, or you have to  
install it yourself. To determine if an IDE Bus Mastering driver is installed,  
follow these steps:  
1. Log on as an administrator.  
2. Double-click My Computer.  
3. Click Start.  
4. Select Settings.  
5. Click Control Panel.  
6. Double-click Devices.  
7. Select the ATAPI device.  
8. If the status is Started, you do not have a DMA bus master IDE controller  
driver installed.  
If your computer does not have an DMA bus master IDE controller driver, you  
must go to the Web site for the manufacturer of the system board in your  
computer, and download and install the Windows NT 4.0 DMA device driver.  
The instructions for installing the driver are provided on the manufacturers  
Web site.  
Note: Carefully read the instruction that come with your driver. Some versions  
of Bus Master drivers do not support CD recordable devices.
