10 TOSHIBA XM-6201 CD-ROM Drive
Fit The Drive
Carefully slide the drive into the opening so that the disk tray shows at the front of the
computer:
Before you push the drive all the way in, you should connect the interface cable and
power cable to the back of the drive. It will be easier to connect the cables first before
you push the drive fully into the slot.
Connect the Drive to your SCSI Interface Card
Your computer should have at least one free connector on a cable attached to a SCSI
interface card. The 50-pin connector fits into the socket on the back of the drive. One
edge of the ribbon cable is marked with a stripe or is coloured red, this connects to pin 1
on the plug. The corresponding pin 1 on the CD-ROM drive’s interface connector is next
to the drive’s power connector. Make sure that pin 1 on the plug connects to pin 1 on the
drive.
Carefully push the connector into the socket, making sure it fits all the way in.
Connect the Drive to a Power Lead
You should have a small DC power lead inside your computer, ready to connect to the
back of the drive. If there is no power lead available, consult your computer dealer or
support service. You may need a “power splitter lead” - a Y shaped cable which taps two
power outputs from one input.
The connector should only fit one way into the power socket on the back of the drive.
One face of the plug has chamfered edges - make sure the plug fits into the socket
the right way up. Carefully push the plug all the way into the socket.
