ꢀ5ꢁPower connector
This connects the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive to the power cable.
Installing the drive
Follow these steps to install the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive:
Step 1. Opening the computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer
documentation for instructions on removing the computer cover.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag
to an unpainted metal surface for at least 2 seconds. This drains the static
electricity from the package and your body.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
Installation and user’s guide 1-5
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded
surface, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.
Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers
You can configure your drive as master ꢀ1ꢁ, slave ꢀ2ꢁ, or cable-select ꢀ3ꢁ, by
placing the jumper over the configuration pins as shown.
Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your
DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive:
v Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive as a master if it will be the only
device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is the preset configuration.
v Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive as a slave if it will be the second
device on an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the other device as a master. In
some cases, a hard disk drive might require a ″master with slave present″
jumper setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a
slave. For more information on setting configuration jumpers on other
devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.
v Some non-IBM computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in
the device connectors so that the drives can be configured by the cable
instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select position only for
computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the
documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your ATA
adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the cable-select position.
If you place the jumper in the cable-select position, the IDE cable
automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the position of
the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for this cabling
system, regardless of whether the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive is the only
device or the second device connected to the cable. The drive closest to the
IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the
IDE cable must also be set to cable-select.
1-6 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide
Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay
Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option
package when you are driving screws directly into the drive. Using screws that
are too long might damage the drive.
You can mount the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive horizontally or vertically in the
computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any discs that
you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the
DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive will not be able to read the disc properly.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required
procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage
devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive
housing or mounting bracket.
3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually
used on each side. Verify that the alignment is correct; then tighten the
screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.
Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive
The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.
The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with
your option package.
Installation and user’s guide 1-7
Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the
included internal audio cable. If your computer has this kind of
connector, you must purchase a new audio cable.
1. Connect the single-connector end ꢀ4ꢁof the included interal audio cable to
the appropriate connector on the computer system board.
2. Connect one of the dual-connector ends ꢀ1ꢁof the included internal audio
cable to the audio-out connector on the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive. If you
have another optical drive in your computer, you can connect the other
dual-connector end to that drive.
3. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector ꢀ2ꢁto the IDE connector on the drive.
Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable
connector ꢀ3ꢁ. Use the IDE cable that is provided with this option if there
is no cable attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector
on the computer IDE cable. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors.
For the best signal quality when you are connecting only one device to the
IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the
other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector.
If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the
cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the
remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables
for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast
devices (such as hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the
primary IDE port, and connect the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive or other
slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and diskette drives)
to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.
4. Attach a four-pin power cable ꢀ3ꢁto the power connector on the
DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.
Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer
cover and that all other cable and power connections are secure.
Step 6. Completing the hardware installation
1. Be sure that the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive is securely mounted and that the
connectors are firmly attached.
2. Be sure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and that
they do not block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
4. Reconnect all external devices.
5. Plug all power cords into the electrical outlets.
Step 7. Installing the software
All of the software for the drive is contained on the User’s Guide and Software
CD. To install the software, follow this procedure:

Using the DVD Player software
This section describes how to use and customize the DVD Player software. You
can find current information on DVD Player software in the README file on
the User’s Guide and Software CD.
Before using the software
DVMatics requires a compatible video dvice driver and IDE bus mastering in
locating video device drivers.
Using the DVD Player
When you insert a DVD video disc into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive, the
DVD Player software will automatically load and begin to play the video disc.
If the DVD disc contains both video and the program content will
automatically play. To view the video content of a video/program DVD disc,
open the DVD player from the Start menu, and click Play on the graphical
user interface (GUI).
Changing the DVD region code
Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content
scrambling system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the
intellectual property that is distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested
by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy,
but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of
unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license
CSS to decode the encrypted data.
The CSS specification divides the world into seven regions. Content that is
encrypted for one region cannot be read by playback systems for other regions.
While CSS is used to prevent digital copying of the DVD content, the
Macrovision standard prevents analog copying of the DVD content. The
Macrovision standard is a scrambling system that has been widely used by the
movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using
commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and
Macrovision copy protection standards.
The first time that you insert a DVD video disc into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R
drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you want to play DVDs that
1-12 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide
are encrypted for a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player
software to change the region code in your DVD drive.
Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make
five region code changes, the drive can play only DVDs that are
encrypted for the fifth region code that you set.
To change the region code, do the following:
1. Turn on your computer, and start your operating system.
2. Click Start.
3. Select Programs.
4. Click DVD Player.
5. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.
6. Click the General Properties tab.
7. Select the correct region code for your country.
8. Click OK so that the change takes effect.

Check for incompatibilities among the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive device
driver and other device drivers or other hardware in your computer. Create
a system diskette with minimum CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT system
files.
1. Before creating special CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, make a
backup copy of these files in a convenient directory. From a DOS
prompt, do the following:
a. Type copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.IBM and press Enter.
b. Type copy AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.IBM and press Enter.
2. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Copy the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files onto the diskette.
4. Turn off the computer, and ensure that the system diskette (the diskette
that you created) is in the diskette drive.
5. Restart the computer (the computer starts up from the system diskette).
6. Observe the startup messages, and ensure that the device driver
IBMIDECD.SYS loads. When MSCDEX loads, observe the drive letter
that the computer assigns to the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.
7. Insert a data CD into the loading tray; then wait until the Busy
indicator is not lit.
8. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir e:, where e is the
DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive letter assigned after the MSCDEX message.
– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists
among the device drivers that are loaded by the CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOXEC.BAT file. You need to resolve this device conflict. Refer to
the documentation that comes with your computer for more
information on resolving device conflicts.
– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware
problem. If you are unable to read the disc or a drive letter is not
assigned by MSCDEX, go to the next step.
9. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables for your computer and all
attached devices from the electrical outlets, and remove the computer
cover.
10. Disconnect the IDE and power cables for all IDE devices except the
DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.
11. Configure the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive as a master, and connect it to
the last IDE connector on the primary IDE port.
12. Reinstall the computer cover. Reconnect the keyboard; plug the power
cords into electrical outlets.
13. Insert the system diskette into the diskette drive, and insert a data disc
into the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive.

Appendix B. Solving problems B-3
15. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir C: (the DVD-RAM/DVD-R
drive is drive C because it is the only device that is connected to the
IDE port).
– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists
with one of the devices that are installed on your computer. You
need to resolve this device-driver conflict. Check the configuration
jumper settings for the other devices or refer to your device
documentation.
– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware
problem. If the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive still does not read the data
disc, the DVD-RAM/DVD-R drive might be defective. See
v The disc cannot be read.
Take the following actions:
2. The disc might be defective; try another disc.
3. The disc is not ISO-9660, High Sierra Group (HSG), or Universal Disc
Format (UDS) compatible. Check with your place of purchase.
v There is no sound from the disc.

Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver
configuration settings
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me have two device-driver
configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA.
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or
accessing the disc automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA
parameter improves the computer performance by having the computer DMA
controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the
microprocessor to perform other tasks. For example, activating DMA might
make movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is
allocating more processing time to video.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty
Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
- Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1.
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply
only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or
your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether
pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where
you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by
contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
(“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed
period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is
the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and
IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of
purchase and your money will be refunded.

REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

E-2 IBM DVD-RAM/DVD-R Drive: User’s Guide
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs
to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM
within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for
downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following
the instructions that IBM provides.
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. 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 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.
