Precautions
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
■ Installation
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.
●
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
– high humidity
– high temperature
– excessive dust
Getting Started
– mechanical vibration
– direct sunlight.
●
Prepare the necessary parts and tools that have not been supplied:
– a flat-blade screwdriver
Use the drive in a horizontal position. Do not use it in a vertical or tilted
position.
– 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.
●
■ Operation
●
●
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to
malfunction during reading or writing.
Setting the Jumpers
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.
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.
■ 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.

Mounting a Host Adapter
Reassembling the Computer
Install a 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.
1 Tuck the cables behind the drives so that they do not come up above the
power supply.
Power supply
Check the following before closing the computer:
Note:
●
Are the connections between the drive and computer correct?
Are the switches set to the appropriate positions?
If you connect external SCSI device(s), you must remove a host adapter’s
terminator resistors.
●
2 Slide the computer’s cover on and fasten the cover mounting screws at
the back of the computer.

Use the device driver for a CD-R drive when using the CDU924S 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.
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.

3 Close the lid firmly.
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.
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.

Operating the Drive
Make sure that the application software is installed in the host computer
before using 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.
Starting Up
Ejecting a Caddy
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.
1 Turn on the power supply.
2 Press the eject button on the drive unit.
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.
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.)
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.
