Precautions
■ Installation
• Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
–excessive dust
–mechanical vibration
–direct sunlight.
We recommend to use the drive in a horizontal position. Do not use
it in a tilted position.
■ Operation
• Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to
malfunction during reading or writing.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as
condensation may form on the lens inside the drive as a result.
Should the surrounding temperature suddenly rise while the drive
is on, wait at least one hour before you turn off the power.
Operating the drive immediately after a sudden increase in
temperature, may result in a malfunction during reading or
writing.
■ Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials for future transport of the
drive.
• Remove the caddy before moving the drive and, if you take the
drive out of the computer, repack the drive as you received it.

Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
As you go through this section, you may wish to refer to your
computer’s manual for a more detailed description of how to install
internal drives.
Getting Started
• Prepare the necessary parts and tools that have not been supplied:
–Screwdriver
–four screws 3 mm in diameter (Screws must not extend more
than 4.0 mm into the side panels or the bottom plate.)
–two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.
• Unplug the computer and disconnect the cables attached to the
back for your own safety. Do not turn on the power of the
computer before completing the entire installation process.
Setting the Jumpers
Set the jumpers on the rear panel of the drive unit in accordance
with the configuration of your computer system.
The jumpers are preset, as illustrated below, at the factory.
10
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
Remove the jumper to set to OFF, and install the jumper to set to ON.
The recommended jumper is AMP* Shunts (14227-1), JAE** Short
Socket (PS-2SH4-1) or equivalent.
The following table shows the function of each jumper.

Caution:
Improper connection may damage the drive and void the warranty.
■ Frame ground
When normally installed, the drive unit is not in contact with the
host computer directly and should be grounded. Connect the frame
ground tab to one of the host computer’s ground cables.
The frame ground cable recommended has a AMP 1-480435-0
housing and 170203-2 or 60711-1 contacts.
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
15
Host Adapter Installation
Connect the free end of the flat cable to the existing SCSI host
adapter card and install the host adapter in the computer by inserting
it securely in a system expansion slot. Refer to the operating
instructions of the host adapter for complete instructions on its
installation and the assignment of its switches.
Notes:
• The red edge of the flat cable must be closest to pin number 1 of
the interface card connector.
• The following illustration is a sample system configuration of the
Sony CDU948S CD-R drive installation with a SCSI card.
16
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
Termination
• If the CD-R drive is connected at the end of the SCSI chain, keep
the drive terminator mounted at the drive.
• If the CD-R drive isn’t the last device at the SCSI bus, remove the
termination from the CD-R drive and make sure that the last
device at the SCSI bus has a proper termination installed.
• Be aware that the SCSI bus needs to be terminated at each end of
the SCSI bus cable.
Closing the Computer
1 Replace the cover on the computer, being careful to reinstall all
screws that were removed.
2 Replace the AC power cord and turn on your computer.
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
17
Installing the Software Driver
MSCDEX and the device driver for an ordinary SCSI CD-ROM
drive can be used when using the CDU948S as a SCSI CD-ROM
drive.
Use the device driver for a CD-R drive when using the CDU948S as
a recordable drive.
Be sure to install the device driver before operating the drive. Refer
to the manual supplied with the host adapter for instructions.
Installing the Software Driver

Using Discs and Caddies
Loading a Caddy with a Disc
1 To open the caddy lid, press the tabs on the both sides of the
caddy at the end opposite to the shutter.
2 Set a disc, with its label upward, in the caddy.
Be careful not to touch the recording surface when setting a CD-
R disc in the caddy. Data cannot be recorded if the recording
surface is contaminated.
Using Discs and Caddies
19
3 Close the lid firmly.
Important:
• Do not drop the disc or the caddy.
• The caddy is designed so that its shutter automatically opens when
it is inserted into the drive unit. Do not open the shutter manually
and touch the disc.
• Data cannot be recorded if the recording surface is contaminated.
• The caddy is precisely adjusted at the factory. Do not disassemble
it.
20
Using Discs and Caddies
Storing Discs and Caddies
• Remove the caddy from the drive unit before moving the drive.
• Do not store the disc and caddy in a location subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
–excessive dust
–direct sunlight
Care of Discs
• Hold the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Wipe the CD-ROM disc with the optional CD cleaner to clean it.
• Do not wipe a CD-R disc with a cleaner before recording data. To
avoid scratching the recording surface, blow away dust using an
air blower.
Using Discs and Caddies
21
Operating the Drive
Make sure that the application software is installed in the host
computer before using the drive.
Starting Up
1 Turn on the power supply.
2 Insert the caddy into the drive slot with the disc’s label facing up,
and push it partially into the drive until the automatic loading
mechanism pulls the caddy in.
Important:
When inserting the caddy, let the automatic loading mechanism pull
it into the drive by itself. Do not hold onto the caddy or attempt to
overpower the loading mechanism.
The drive begins reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data. The
busy indicator lights amber while the TOC data is being read.
When the busy indicator changes to green, the drive is ready to
receive commands, and data may be retrieved from the disc.
After loading the CD-R disc, it takes a moment for the drive to
become ready while the Program Memory Area is read.
From here on, follow the instructions provided with the application
software.
Notes:
• The drive unit does not allow a caddy to be inserted if:
–PREVENT/ALLOW of the jumper block is set to OFF.
–the host computer is set to the PREVENT mode by the software.
• The busy indicator keeps on lighting amber if:
–the disc is not properly inserted.
–a malfunction occurs.
22
Operating the Drive
In such a case, eject the caddy and re-insert it properly. If the busy
indicator remains lit amber, consult your dealer or qualified service
personnel. The busy indicator also lights amber during audio play.
However, this is not a malfunction.
Ejecting a Caddy
1 Turn on the power supply.
2 Press the eject button on the drive unit.
CD Caddy
Notes:
• The eject button does not work if it is disabled by the software.
• To eject a caddy when the eject button is disabled by the software:
–Make sure that the jumper block’s PREVENT/ALLOW is set to
ON.
–Turn the power of your computer off, and turn it on again. (Or
reset the SCSI bus using a software command.)
Operating the Drive
23
■ Ejecting a caddy manually in an emergency
In the event of electrical or mechanical failure of the drive unit, a
manual emergency eject is provided to allow removal of the caddy
from the drive unit.
1 Turn off the power of your computer.
2 Insert a pointed object, such as a paper clip, into the emergency
eject hole, and push with hand. (Typical required force is 59N
[6.0kg])
