SETUP – SD-M1401 DVD-ROM The following steps must be performed to properly install your drive: • • • • • • Set DVD-ROM Drive Jumper Settings: SCSI ID, Parity, Termination, 512/2K, Power Connect Audio Cable Attach SCSI Interface Cable Attach Power Cable Daisy-Chaining SCSI Drives (if applicable) Mount Drive Jumper Settings A block of mode select jumpers are located on the rear of the DVD-ROM.
Terminator ON/OFF - This jumper turns termination power ON or OFF. If you are connecting more than one SCSI device to your system, and the DVD-ROM is not at the end of the chain, then terminator jumper is not required. 512/2K (Block Size Selectability) - This jumper is used to select default block size. When the jumper is present, the default block size equals 512Bytes, when the jumper is not present, the default block size is 2048Bytes. This is effective for CD media only, not DVD media.
Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable. Toshiba's DVD-ROM drives use a standard 4-pin audio cable that can be purchased from most local computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your sound card at one end and the other end connects to the digital audio connector at the left rear of the DVD-ROM drive (see DVD-ROM drive Back Panel photo for location).
Completing Installation After you have connected all the necessary cables, push the DVD-ROM drive completely into the computers drive slot. Mount drive per your computers instructions. The screw length should not exceed 30.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace computer cover and all outer screws. Figure 7.Mounting Illustration Software Driver - Toshiba's optical drives do not require any unique device drivers for Windows '95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT.

Do not place objects on the disc tray. Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.
Handling Media DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only. If a DVD movie skips or hangs during playback, clean the media. Most DVD video playback issues are media-related and can be remedied by proper handling and care of media. Cleaning Media Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc accessing speed. If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth.
