This is the tray for the disc. Place the disc on the ejected disc tray,
then lightly push the tray (or push the eject button) and the CD will be
loaded.
NOTE: Don't pull out or push in the disc tray forcibly.
This might cause damage to the loading section of the drive.

will stop it, and will open the tray.
Emergency eject Hole
The emergency eject hole is to be used only when the CD tray will not
open when Eject button is pressed.

Power Connector
Power Connector
Connects to the power supply (5-and 12-V DC) of the host computer.
NOTE: Be careful to connect with the proper polarity. Connecting
the wrong way may damage the system (and is not guaranteed). Usually this
connector can only be attached one way.
IDE Interface Connector
Connect to the IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) Interface using a
40-pin flat IDE cable.
NOTE: Do not connect or disconnect the cable when the power
is on, as this could cause a short circuit and damage the system. Always
turn the power OFF when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
Jumper Connector
This jumper determines whether the drive is configured as a master or
slave. Changing the master-slave configuration takes effect after power-on
reset. See the following table, Table 1. Jumper Settings.
Table 1. Jumper Settings
Name
Function
MASTER (Master)
Drive set as Master
SLAVE (Slave)
Drive set as Slave
CSEL (Cable Select)
Drive mode set by SDEL on
the host IDE interface
(Dell Factory Default)
Analog Audio Output Connector
Provides output to a sound card (analog signal). Generally you need
this to play a regular audio CD.
How to Use the Discs
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs or CD-RW discs, don't attach any stickers
or labels to the discs. Using discs with them attached not only causes
read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due to damage to
the disc itself.
The Discs in this unit operate at a very high speed!
DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drive's optical unit may be damaged if they break.
DO NOT use non-standard discs. Non-standard discs may not play or store data properly.
Emergency Eject
This drive has a function that allows the CD to be ejected manually
if this becomes necessary in an emergency, such as failure of the drive
or a power outage.
NOTE: Don't use this feature except in an emergency.
Turn the power to OFF.
Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper clip)
into the small hole above the eject button (See
figure
3.). The front door will pop open and the disk tray will come partway
out.
Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between
thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.
Figure 3.
Object needs to be at least 4.5 cm in length
NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be used only in
an emergency. Using it excessively will cause malfunction. If you cannot
get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder
clip or spring clamp to pull it out.
