one for the hard disk and one fora Optiarc Writer. If you preferto connect the Optiarc Writer tothe same port as your hard disc,(as a secondary device) you haveto change jumper setting toSLAVE mode.

Installing the Optiarc Writerin a host PC

1. Turn off the computer, otherperipherals and unplug all thecords and cables. Then removethe computer cover, face plate,mounting clips, and keeperbracket. Refer to the Guide tooperations that came with yourcomputer for help with this step.

2. If necessary, slide other devicesabove the installation outappro-ximately 50 ~70 mm (2 ~ 3 in.),but do not disconnect the cables.

3. Slide the Optiarc Writer intothe computer until it is outapproximately 50 ~ 70 mm(2 ~ 3 in.).

4. Locate a spare power cable inyour computer.

5. Connect that power cable tothe power connector on theback of the Optiarc Writer.

6. Connect the I/O BUS connectoron the Optiarc Writer and theIDE controller. Connect thecoloured stripe side of thecable on the side marked withthe arrow (∇ ).

7. Slide the Optiarc Writer intothe computer and fix it in thecomputer cabinet with 4 screws.To avoid damage to the OptiarcWriter take care, that the screwsdo not reach more than 5 mminto the Optiarc Writers cabinet.

Jumper Block1 = CSEL2 = SLAVE3 = MASTER

5 DIGITAL OUT ConnectorThis connector is used to con-nect Digital Audio to an audioboard.

6 LINE OUT ConnectorThis connector is used to con-nect CD-Audio to an audio board.

7 JUMPER BLOCKThese blocks of jumper set theconfiguration for the OptiarcWriter (ref. chapter‘Installation’-’Jumper Setting’for details).

8 Power ConnectorUse this to provide operatingpower from the host computer.

9 I/O BUS ConnectorThis BUS connector is used tocontrol the Optiarc Writer anddata transmission. Use a flat

ribbon cable to connect yourcomputer to the OptiarcWriter. Connect the colouredside of the ribbon cable to theside marked with the arrow.

InstallationJumper SettingA jumper consists out of a pair ofpins and a connector, which fitsover the pins. When the connectoris in place it establishes an elec-tronic link between the pins, whichenables the function being con-trolled by the jumper. If the con-nector is removed, the electroniclink is disconnected and thefunction is disabled. Jumpers areused to set the Optiarc Writermode on the IDE interface. Thefactory default setting is MASTERfor fitting to enhanced IDE con-trollers supporting two ports,

ionsDriver Installation

The software installation startswith activating the reading func-tion of the drive (CD-ROM).If you are using the Optiarc Writerwith Windows 95/98/ME/NT/200x/XP/Vista or IBM OS/2 Warp,all necessary drivers will beloaded automatically by theoperating system.

Drivers mentioned above are partof the Operating Systems and notavailable from NEC.To use the IDE/ATAPI OptiarcWriter with MS-DOS and MS-Windows 3.x, you have to installthe attached driver softwarebefore you can use the OptiarcWriter for the first time.

Refer to the README.TXT file onthe driver disk for informationabout installing this driver.

This drive* supports RPC accordingto SFF8090v4 (RPC-2). The finalsetting/definition of the videoregion code is determined by thefifth DVD video region code change.

For Windows 3.xx don’t use the32 bit hard disk access, becausethis mode is not supported forDVD drives.

If the reading function is availa-ble the next is to achieve thewriting function provided by thewriting software. Please insertYour writing software CD-ROMinto the Optiarc Writer and usethe information provided withthe software (if the installationdoes not starting automaticallyyou have to activate theinstallation software manually).

To disable or enable drive’s bufferunder run prevention technologyyou need a writer S/W supportingthis function.

SupportFor local support like hotline,service or drivers see the file„README.TXT“ on the softwareCD-ROM or NEC´s Internet siteat http://www.neceurope.com

*) not for NR-9500

8. Replace the mounting clips,keeper bracket, and computercover. Refer to the Guide toOperations that came with thecomputer for help with this step.

Vertical useThe Optiarc Writer can be used inthe vertical position. When usingthe Optiarc Writer, in the verticalposition, load and unload discs asshown on the diagram below.

Only 12 cm discs can be usedwhen the Optiarc Writer is installedvertically. Do not place 8cm discsin the tray when using the OptiarcWriter installed in this way.

Emergency EjectThe procedure described belowcan be used to open the tray ofthe Optiarc Writer if the EJECTbutton is disabled by software or apower failure occurs.1. Turn off the power to the

Optiarc Writer.2. If a disc inside still spinning

wait until spin stoped certainly.3. Insert a steel rod (about 1.3 mm

in diameter) into the emergencyeject hole and push firmly untilthe cartridge is ejected. A stiffpaper clip may be used as steelrod.
