INSTALLING YOUR
DRIVE
3
This chapter contains detailed instructions to guide
you through the installation of your new CD-ROM drive.
To install the drive, your PC must have at least one
free IDE interface connector. If not, you need to go
to a computer retailer and buy an IDE controller card
(an Enhanced IDE controller card is needed if your PC
already has a one-port IDE controller). See Appendix
A for a brief introduction to IDE connections.
3.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive
Here’s how to install your CD-ROM drive:
1. Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of
the CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory
setting of the slave mode meets most people’s
needs and normally does not need to be changed.
See Appendix A.)
2. Disconnect the power to your PC and remove your
PC's casing.
3. Slide the CD-ROM drive into the mounting rails
of a 5.25” drive bay.

4. Search inside your PC for a free power cable
connector and plug it into the 4-pin
connector on the back of your CD-ROM drive.
5. Find an IDE cable that has a free connector and
plug the connector into the
connector
on the back of the drive. The cable’s colored
edge must be aligned with the Pin 1 position.

PHILIPS CD-ROM DRIVE USER’S MANUAL
3.2 Letting Your System Recognize
the Drive
For your system to recognize the new CD-ROM drive, you
need an appropriate driver to act as the system’s “eye
opener.” Because your new CD-ROM is a plug-and-play
device, in normal cases either Windows 95 or OS/2 Warp
should have no problem recognizing it with the OS’s
built-in standard IDE CD-ROM driver. Users of DOS
and Windows 3.1, however, need to install a supplied
device driver. Even so, the installation procedure
is easy and takes less than three minutes.
3.2.1 If You Are a DOS or Windows 3.1
User
Perform the following steps:
1. Boot your computer.
2. Insert the Installation diskette into a 3.5”
floppy drive.
3. Type
or
, depending on
into which drive you inserted the diskette.
The menu appears:

4. Press
The “CD-ROM Device Driver Setup” Menu
to accept the default settings for
an express setup, or press “ ” to start a custom
setup.
Note: Custom Setup are only for users who want
to change the default installation
settings, such as the target directory or
the IRQ lines to be used by the available
IDE ports.
A “Compile Time” message will appear when the
setup is completed.
5. Reboot your computer.
If everything is okay, you can start using
your CD-ROM drive right away. Otherwise:
If the file MSCDEX.EXE is indicated not
found, make sure that you are using DOS 6.0
or above and your AUTOEXEC.BAT file has a
path statement similar to:

PHILIPS CD-ROM DRIVE USER’S MANUAL
If the system halts, make sure that your CD-
ROM drive has been correctly set as a master
device or a slave device. See Appendix A for
instructions.
If you still have trouble with your CD-ROM
drive, contact the retail store where you bought
your drive or call the help desk.

PHILIPS CD-ROM DRIVE USER’S MANUAL
Why couldn’t I set up Windows 95 with
its CD disc? Is my CD-ROM defective?
No. Your CD-ROM probably had nothing
to do with that problem.
If you were making an upgrade from
Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, you might
have forgotten to complete the steps
listed in Section 3.2.1 before
performing the upgrade. Remember,
without the CD-ROM driver, Windows 3.1
has no way to recognize your CD-ROM
drive.
If you were setting up Windows 95 from
scratch, the standard IDE CD-ROM driver
contained in the Windows 95
installation package might not be
working properly with your IDE
controller. Try the diskette version.

USING YOUR CD-ROM
DRIVE

4.1 Drive Applications
There are two main ways in which you will use your new
CD-ROM drive. The first way is as a typical disk
drive (albeit read-only). Here, data such as program
files, databases, sound clips, video images, etc. is
read from the CD into your PC's CPU. The other way is
as a CD player. You can use your CD-ROM drive to
listen to music CDs.
4.2 Front Panel Controls
Most of time, you will use application software to
control the CD-ROM drive no matter whether the drive
is used as a disk drive or a CD player. Nevertheless,
there are times you will need to manually control the
drive through its front panel controls.

A MASTER OR A SLAVE
DEVICE?
A
Before sliding your CD-ROM drive into the 5.25” drive
bay, you have to decide whether the drive is going to
be a master or slave device by adjusting the
jumpers on its back. This appendix presents some
basic concepts of IDE connections to help you make the
decision and describes the way to set the jumpers.
and
A.1 IDE Connections
When you open your PC box, most likely you will see a
wide ribbon cable with two 40-pin connectors stemming
from a connector seat on the mother board; each of the
connectors may or may not have been connected to a
peripheral device. Such a cable is called an IDE
cable and the connector seat an IDE port, The
functionality of the cable and port is determined by
an “IDE controller”, either built-in on your
motherboard or in the form of an add-on card. This
whole set of things acts as a data bridge between your
CPU and devices that are designed for use with the IDE
standards.

A
A MASTER OR A SLAVE DEVICE
IDE controllers may contain more than one port and
hence contain more than one IDE cable. Such a
controller is called an enhanced IDE controller. Its
ports are called the primary port, secondary port,
tertiary port, etc. Currently, most enhanced IDE
controllers contain two ports: the primary port and
the secondary port. Any “bonus” port that comes with
a peripheral device, for example, your sound card, is
taken as a secondary port.
Secondary Port
Red
Primary Port

Figure A-2
Enhanced IDE Controller Card
Note:Your PC system can have only one port of each
kind at any time. If you add an enhanced IDE
controller to the system, you must remove or
disable the PC’s original port(s). Similarly, if
a “bonus” port is present, you must disable
either this port or the PC’s secondary port, if
your PC already has a secondary port.
Because each IDE port supports up to two devices, you
need to tell your PC whether a device you are
connecting is the master or the slave device of that
port. As a result, if you have more than one IDE

Note that the primary master, if configured, must be a
boot drive (normally a hard disk). Other than this,
an IDE device can be configured to any IDE interface
port and either as a master or a slave at your own
choice. Here master and slave do not imply any
operating precedence; they are just the “sub-IDs” of
the devices that your computer needs to know about.
1. Currently, a CD-ROM drive cannot be used as a
boot drive. Therefore, you cannot configure
the CD-ROM drive as the primary master.
Note:
2. Your CD-ROM can be attached to any IDE
controller that supports up to eight IDE
devices.
3. If you are using OS/2 Warp and another device
has already been configured as the primary
slave, we highly recommend that you
configure the CD-ROM drive as the master
device of one of the rest available IDE
ports.

A.2 Setting Master and Slave
Jumpers
Whether your PC system regards your CD-ROM drive as a
master device or a slave device depends on which of
the “ ” (master) and “ ” (slave) jumpers on the back
of the drive is capped.
or
Master Mode
Slave Mode
Figure A-3Jumper Settings of Slave Mode and Master Mode
Your CD-ROM drive is shipped with the “ ” jumper
capped, In spite of this, note from Figure A-3 that
capping the “ ” jumper is optional for Slave mode.
To set your CD-ROM drive as a master device, simply
remove the cap from the “ ” jumper and place it over
the “ ” jumper.
1. The “MA” and “SL” jumpers cannot be both
Note:
capped at the same time.
2. A system halt will occur if the “MA” or “SL”
jumper is set in conflict with the other
device connected to the same IDE port. An
IDE port cannot contain two master devices or
two slave devices at any moment of time.
