Introduction C ongratulations on the purchase of your Toshiba XM-6401B CD-ROM drive. This manual will provide you with the information you will need to install and operate your new CD-ROM. This manual covers both the internal CD-ROM (XM-6401B) and the external CD-ROM (TXM6401F1). Instructions in this manual apply to both models, unless otherwise stated. The XM-6401B is one of the fastest CD-ROM drives currently available. Features include: ➬ ➬ ➬ ➬ 40X speed Brings leading edge performance.
SCSI DRIVES T he XM-6401B is a SCSI-2 (Small Computer Systems Interface) device. Some other SCSI devices you may already have connected to your computer are scanners, tape drives, or another CD-ROM drive. PC SYSTEMS: To add a SCSI device to your computer, you must have a SCSI interface card already in place. The interface card fits into one of the slots inside your computer and connects to your CD-ROM device via a SCSI cable. Your CD-ROM also requires a software driver to be installed.
Installing CD-ROM B efore you begin to install your CD-ROM, make sure you have the items listed below. In most cases, these items will not come with your CD-ROM. See your local computer retailer to purchase them.
IMPORTANT NOTE Before you begin installing your CD-ROM, make sure your computer is switched OFF and the power cable is disconnected. CD-ROM JUMPER SETTINGS In order for your CD-ROM to work properly, it may be necessary for you to change the CD-ROM’s jumper settings. Locate the block of jumpers on the back left side of the CD-ROM. Jumper Location Jumpers can be set in either an ON mode or OFF mode.
All SCSI devices attached to your computer are assigned a SCSI-ID number from 0 to 7. Your CD-ROM’s SCSI ID must be set so that its ID number does not conflict with any other device’s SCSI-ID in your system. In most cases your CD-ROM will come set to SCSI ID 0. If your CD-ROM is the only SCSI device connected to your computer, you should leave the jumpers as they are. If you have additional SCSI devices (another CD-ROM, hard drive, etc.) you will be “daisy-chaining” these devices.
Terminator ON/OFF Jumper This jumper turns termination power ON or OFF. If you are “daisychaining” a series of SCSI devices (connecting more than one SCSI device to your system), and the XM-6401B CD-ROM is not at the end of the chain, you must remove the jumper. Eject Prevention Jumper This jumper is used to inhibit the operation of the drive’s EJECT button. When jumper is set to ON (jumper present), the EJECT button will not operate.
PLACING CD-ROM INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER You are now ready to install your CD-ROM inside your computer. You should refer to the book that came with your computer, as computer casings are different from each other. Usually the casing is attached to the frame by a number of screws at the back. Turn your computer around, so the back faces you, and look for 4 or 6 screws around the edge of the casing. Remove the screws and put them somewhere safe.
CABLING SCSI - The internal SCSI interface cable is connected to your SCSI host adapter card and fits into the socket on the back of your CDROM. The stripe side (or red-colored side) of the ribbon cable connects to pin 1 on the drive’s SCSI connector which is found next to the drive’s power connector. Carefully push the SCSI connector into the socket, making sure it fits snugly.
If there is no power cable in your system, contact your computer dealer. You may need a “power splitter lead” (a Y shaped cable which taps two power outputs from one input). Sound (optional) - If you have a sound card and speakers and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you will need to get a sound cable. Contact our small parts supplier, AMC at 888/262-9700. Sound cables are made for the sound card you are using and the CD-ROM drive you are connecting it to.
Daisy-Chaining - If the CD-ROM you are installing is one of two or more SCSI devices you have connected to your system, you will need to use a custom built SCSI interface cable. Remember that the terminator jumper on the CD-ROM drive must have the jumper installed when the drive is the last device in the chain.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION After you have connected all the necessary cables, you can push the CD-ROM completely into the slot. There are 12 screw holes on the XM-6401B that are used to mount the CD-ROM into your computer. The screw length should not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or bottom of CD-ROM to tip of screw). Replace the computer’s cover, and replace all outer screws. ;; ;; ; Mounting Screw M3 Mounting frame of host computer Surface of side or bottom of CD-ROM drive 3 ±0.
INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL CD-ROM (TXM6401F1) The instructions that follow are for use on PC and Macintosh systems. In order to install your external CD-ROM successfully, you will need to complete the following steps. ☛ Install SCSI host adapter board in your computer system (if not already installed). - PC systems only ☛ Set SCSI ID Switch on CD-ROM. ☛ Using a SCSI cable, connect CD-ROM to SCSI interface card or SCSI port. ☛ Connect supplied power cord to CD-ROM. ☛ Load CD-ROM driver software.
SCSI ID Switch TERMINATION If the CD-ROM is being installed as the last drive in a daisy-chain or as the only SCSI device, you must install an external terminator on one of the SCSI connectors at the rear of the CD-ROM.
CABLING SCSI - Locate the SCSI interface card connection or SCSI port at the back of your computer. Plug the SCSI cable into socket, making sure it fits snugly. (If the plug has fixing screws or clips, use them to ensure the connector is firmly fixed.) Plug the other end of the cable into one of the sockets found on the back of the CD-ROM drive (the other connector should have a terminator installed, or if daisy-chaining, be attached to another SCSI device).
SOFTWARE In order for your computer to recognize the CD-ROM, you must install a CD-ROM software driver. PCs - If you do not have this software, contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter card. Use the instructions that came with your software to install the CD-ROM software driver.
Using your CD-ROM THE CONTROLS The XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM drives have the following controls and features: ➬ CD Loading Tray ➬ EJECT Button ➬ Emergency Eject Hole ➬ BUSY Light ➬ Headphone Jack ➬ Volume Control ➬ Audio Output Terminals (TXM6401F1 only) XM-6401B Front Panel 16 TOSHIBA XM-6401B/TXM6401F1 CD-ROM Drive
THE FRONT PANEL Eject Button - The EJECT button is used to open the disc tray so you can install or remove a disc. The EJECT Inhibit Jumper must be set to OFF in order for the EJECT button to function. (If jumper is in ON postion, the drive accepts all eject control from the computer). Busy Light - When you install a disc into the CD-ROM drive, the BUSY light flashes slowly as it attempts to locate the disc. One of the following will occur: • BUSY light goes out.
THE BACK PANEL The pictures below show the back panel of the XM-6401B and TXM6401F1 CD-ROM drives. Descriptions of features are as follows: XM-6401B Back Panel TXM6401F1 Back Panel Audio Out Connector - Outputs analog signal on the XM-6401B only. Mode Select Headers (jumpers) - Selects SCSI-ID, Parity Check function, Power Supply, EJECT Button inhibit function, Test/Audio Reproduction mode and Terminator Power (XM-6401B only).
SCSI Connector(s) - Connects CD-ROM to computer. The TXM6201F1 has two SCSI connectors. Power Connector - Connects CD-ROM to power source (either power adapter or power cable from computer). Power Switch - Turns power ON and OFF on the TXM6401F1. Audio Jacks - Connects CD-ROM to external amplified device (TXM6401F1 only). SCSI ID Switch - Selects SCSI ID (TXM6401F1 only).
OPERATING THE CD LOADING TRAY To open the CD loading tray, just press the EJECT button. After inserting or removing a disc, press the EJECT button again or gently push on the open disc tray, the tray will automatically close. Vertical Installations If you are loading a disc in a XM-6401B drive that has been mounted vertically, perform the following procedures: 1. The disc holders (4 locations) are fixed by four projections. 2. Position the disc at the bottom disc holders until it catches.
EMERGENCY EJECT CAUTION! The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when pressing the eject button fails to open the CD tray. 1. Turn CD-ROM drive power OFF. 2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip*) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the picture below. 3. CD tray will open/eject. This procedure cannot be repeated without cycling the CD-ROM’s power. After the media is removed and the loading tray is closed, the tray will not reopen without first turning the power ON/OFF.
