Drive or other slower devices (such as CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and
removable media) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE

3. Attach a four-pin power cable 3to the power connector on the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 7. Completing the hardware installation
1. Be sure that the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination 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 8. Updating your computer configuration
After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer.
Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed when you turn
on your computer. If you do not see this screen, 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 the IBM graphic is displayed in the upper-right corner of the
screen. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes
and exit.

CD-RW and DVD Video functions of your drive. All of these are included on
