Connecting Interface Cables

Connect the motherboard to the Built-in DVD-RAM drive and the factory installed ODD by
using the IDE interface cable within the computer or that coming with the Built-in
DVD-RAM drive.
Do not use any damaged cable.
Before the connection of a cable, make sure that the connectors of the cable are not
damaged and no connector pins are bent and dirt. Using a cable with a damaged
connector or some bent or dirt pins may cause a fire due to a short circuit.
Use the IDE interface cable included in the computer if the cable has a two-way
connector. Note the connection order.
Connect the IDE interface cable to the Built-in DVD-RAM drive, the factory installed
CD-ROM/RW drive, and the IDE connector on the motherboard. Save any cables
becoming unnecessary carefully.
Connect the interface cable coming from the mating connector on the motherboard to the
Built-in DVD-RAM drive and the factory installed ODD in the order.
The IDE interface cable coming with the Built-in DVD-RAM drive must be connected to
the adjacent ODD factory installed because the MASTER-to-SLAVE cable only has a
rather short length.
