Tips

Before installation, ensure your motherboard has an available IDE channel and a spare 4-pin Molex power connector. Set the drive's jumper to Master or Slave depending on your cable configuration. For optimal performance in older systems, use an 80-conductor IDE cable if available. Keep the firmware as-is; no updates are required for basic CD reading.
