How to: Install an internal proprietary interface CD-ROM drive.
Solution:
Backup files and remove the computer cover. If necessary, set the drive selection switches on the new CD-ROM drive, install drive in a bay and connect the cables. Turn on computer, install drivers, and restart the computer.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard! Make sure the power is turned off and the external power cables have been disconnected before removing the computer cover.
CAUTION 1: This task should be performed by a qualified computer technician.
CAUTION 2: Please observe steps to reduce the potential damage to computer components from electrostatic discharge.
NOTE 1: Read the instruction manual that came with the CD-ROM drive to determine whether the interface card bus type (ISA, EISA, VLB or PCI local bus) is compatible with the host computer.
NOTE 2: Read the instruction manual that came with the CD-ROM drive to determine whether the interface card is Windows 95-compatible Plug-and-Play, or a legacy model, which is jumper selectable.
1) If you are installing the proprietary interface card, do the following:
a) Remove the computer cover.
b) Find a free open connector of the same adapter bus type on the system board.
c) Remove the external slot cover for the corresponding free open connector by removing a screw at the top of the slot cover.
d) Perform one of the following depending on whether the adapter type is Plug-and-Play or jumper selectable:
1] For Plug-and-Play proprietary interface cards:
a] Carefully insert the proprietary interface card into the free open connector.
b] Secure the proprietary interface card using the screw removed in step 1)c).
2] For Jumper selectable proprietary interface cards:

d] Write down the jumper settings used to aid the driver installation.
e) Review steps 1)a) through 1)d)2]c] to verify they have all been followed correctly.
2) Install the CD-ROM drive:
a) Insert the CD-ROM drive unit into an empty 5.25 in bay, and secure the drive in the bay with four screws.
b) Connect the power cable to the drive unit.
c) Connect the internal proprietary interface CD-ROM device to the internal proprietary interface adapter connector using the 40 pin ribbon cable.
d) Replace the computer cover.
e) Turn on the computer and check for an installation error.
NOTE: Typical installation errors are: wrong jumper selections, loose connections or bad components. If the computer does not start normally, refer the problem to next-level support or a qualified computer technician.
3) If you installed the proprietary interface card:
