SCSI DRIVES he XM-6401B is a SCSI-2 (Small Computer Systems Inter- face) device. Some other SCSI devices you may already have T connected to your computer are scanners, tape drives, or an- other CD-ROM drive. PC SYSTEMS: To add a SCSI device to your computer, you must have a SCSI interface card already in place. The interface card fits into one of the slots inside your computer and connects to your CD-ROM device via a SCSI cable. Your CD-ROM also requires a software driver to be installed. This

Installing CD-ROM efore you begin to install your CD-ROM, make sure you have the items listed below. In most cases, these items will B not come with your CD-ROM. See your local computer re- tailer to purchase them. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ❑ CD-ROM Software Driver (when installing on a PC the software driver must be written for the SCSI host adapter card you have installed in your computer system) ❑ SCSI Host Adapter Board (PC systems only) ❑ SCSI Interface Cable ❑ External Terminator (TXM6401F

CD-ROM JUMPER SETTINGS In order for your CD-ROM to work properly, it may be necessary for you to change the CD-ROM’s jumper settings. Locate the block of jumpers on the back left side of the CD-ROM. Jumper Location Jumpers can be set in either an ON mode or OFF mode. If the jumper covers both pins on the jumper block,

All SCSI devices attached to your computer are assigned a SCSI-ID number from 0 to 7. Your CD-ROM’s SCSI ID must be set so that its ID number does not conflict with any other device’s SCSI-ID in your system. In most cases your CD-ROM will come set to SCSI ID 0. If your CD-ROM is the only SCSI device connected to your computer, you should leave the jumpers as they are. If you have additional SCSI devices (another CD-ROM, hard drive, etc.) you will be “daisy-chain- ing” these devices. Each SCSI

Terminator ON/OFF Jumper This jumper turns termination power ON or OFF. If you are “daisy- chaining” a series of SCSI devices (connecting more than one SCSI device to your system), and the XM-6401B CD-ROM is not at the end of the chain, you must remove the jumper. Eject Prevention Jumper This jumper is used to inhibit the operation of the drive’s EJECT but- ton. When jumper is set to ON (jumper present), the EJECT button will not operate. Setting the jumper to OFF (no jumper present) will allow

PLACING CD-ROM INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER You are now ready to install your CD-ROM inside your computer. You should refer to the book that came with your computer, as com- puter casings are different from each other. Usually the casing is at- tached to the frame by a number of screws at the back. Turn your computer around, so the back faces you, and look for 4 or 6 screws around the edge of the casing. Remove the screws and put them some- where safe. Lift or slide casing away from computer frame, an

CABLING SCSI - The internal SCSI interface cable is connected to your SCSI host adapter card and fits into the socket on the back of your CD- ROM. The stripe side (or red-colored side) of the ribbon cable con- nects to pin 1 on the drive’s SCSI connector which is found next to the drive’s power connector. Carefully push the SCSI connector into the socket, making sure it fits snugly. Attaching SCSI Cable Power - Apply power to your CD-ROM by connecting your computer’s +12V/+5V power cable to the

If there is no power cable in your system, contact your computer dealer. You may need a “power splitter lead” (a Y shaped cable which taps two power outputs from one input). Sound (optional) - If you have a sound card and speakers and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you will need to get a sound cable. Contact our small parts supplier, AMC at 888/262-9700. Sound cables are made for the sound card you are using and the CD-ROM drive you are connecting it to. Make sure you have thi

Daisy-Chaining - If the CD-ROM you are installing is one of two or more SCSI devices you have connected to your system, you will need to use a custom built SCSI interface cable. Remember that the termi- nator jumper on the CD-ROM drive must have the jumper installed when the drive is the last device in the chain.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION After you have connected all the necessary cables, you can push the CD-ROM completely into the slot. There are 12 screw holes on the XM-6401B that are used to mount the CD-ROM into your computer. The screw length should not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured from out- side surface of side or bottom of CD-ROM to tip of screw). Replace the computer’s cover, and replace all outer screws.

CABLING SCSI - Locate the SCSI interface card connection or SCSI port at the back of your computer. Plug the SCSI cable into socket, making sure it fits snugly. (If the plug has fixing screws or clips, use them to ensure the connector is firmly fixed.) Plug the other end of the cable into one of the sockets found on the back of the CD-ROM drive (the other connector should have a terminator installed, or if daisy-chaining, be attached to another SCSI device). You must use a daisy-chain cable if y

SOFTWARE In order for your computer to recognize the CD-ROM, you must in- stall a CD-ROM software driver. PCs - If you do not have this software, contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter card. Use the instructions that came with your software to install the CD-ROM software driver.
