Installation and user’s guide 1-3
Installing the drive
Complete the following steps to install the drive:
Step 1. Opening the computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.
3. Remove the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on
removing the computer cover.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag to an unpainted metal
surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive
on the antistatic bag.
Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers
You can configure your drive as master ꢀ1ꢁ, slave ꢀ2ꢁ, or cable-select ꢀ3ꢁ, by placing the jumper over the
configuration pins as shown.
Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your drive.
v Configure the drive as a master if it will be the only device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is
the preset configuration.
v Configure the drive as a slave if it will be the second device on an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the
other device as a master. In some cases, a hard disk drive might require a “master with slave present”
jumper setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. For more information
on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your
computer.
v Some non-IBM computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in the device connectors so
that the drives can be configured by the cable instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select
position only for computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the documentation that
comes with your computer to determine if your ATA adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the
cable-select position.
If you place the jumper in the cable-select position, the IDE cable automatically assigns the master and
slave settings based on the position of the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for
this cabling system whether the drive is the only device or the second device connected to the cable.
The drive closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the IDE
cable must also be set to cable-select.
1-4 IBM Multi-Burner User’s Guide
Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay
Attention
Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option package when securing screws
directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.
You can mount the drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you
must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the drive will not be
able to read the disc properly.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have required procedures for installing storage
devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your
computer.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket.
3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually used on each side. Verify
that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.
Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive
The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.
The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with your option package.
Note: Some computers have a smaller connector that is incompatible with the included internal audio
cable. If your computer has this kind of connector, you might need to purchase a new audio cable.
1. Connect the single-connector end ꢀ4ꢁof the included internal audio cable to the appropriate connector
on the computer system board.
2. Connect one of the dual-connector ends ꢀ1ꢁof the included internal audio cable to the audio-out
connector on the drive. If you have another optical drive in your computer, you can connect the other
dual-connector end to that drive.
3. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector ꢀ2ꢁto the IDE connector on the drive. Align the cable so that the
color-coded edge is closest to the power cable connector ꢀ3ꢁ. Use the IDE cable that is provided with
this option if there is no cable attached to the IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the
computer IDE cable. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors. For the best signal quality when
you are connecting only one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port,
and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector.
Installation and user’s guide 1-5
If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and
connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers
have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard
disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the drive or other
slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the
secondary IDE port.
4. Attach a four-pin power cable ꢀ3ꢁto the power connector on the drive.
Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer cover and that all other cable
and power connections are secure.
Step 6. Completing the hardware installation
1. Ensure that the drive is securely mounted and that the connectors are firmly attached.
2. Ensure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover, and that they do not block the
power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
4. Reconnect all external devices.
5. Reconnect all power cords into the electrical outlets.
Step 7. Installing the software
All of the software for the drive is contained on the User’s Guide and Software Discs. The User’s Guide and
Software Disc 1 contains this User’s Guide, IBM RecordNow, IBM Simple Backup, and IBM DLA. The
User’s Guide and Software Disc 2 contains Intervideo WinDVD and roxio VideoWave. Complete the
following procedure to install the software:
1. Decide which software you wish to install.
2. Insert either the User’s Guide and Software Disc 1 or the User’s Guide and Software Disc 2 into the drive.
If the CD starts automatically, skip to step 6.

Securing a disc in a vertically mounted drive
The drive has four retainers molded into the loading tray for vertical mounting operation.
To insert a disc, place it in the lower two retainers before closing the tray.
To remove a disc, open the tray and lift the disc from the two lower retainers.
Manually ejecting a disc
If the drive becomes inoperable and will not eject the disc, turn off the computer and straighten a large
paper clip to form a tool. The straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended
end into the emergency eject hole on the front of the drive (see “Front view of the drive” on page 1-3).
Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.
Using the DVD Player software
This section describes how to use and customize the DVD Player software. You can find current
information on DVD Player software in the readme file on the User’s Guide and Software Disc 1.
Before using the software
WinDVD requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See
enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.
Using the DVD Player
When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the DVD Player software will automatically load and
begin to play the video disc. If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program
content will automatically play.
To view the video content of a video/program DVD disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and
click Play.
In Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player
application.
Changing the DVD region code
Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS)
standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It
was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy,
but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without
proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.
The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designated for one region
cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the
DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD
content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the movie industry to prevent
unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support
both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.
The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If
you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region
code.
1-8 IBM Multi-Burner User’s Guide
Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes,
the drive can play only MPEG-2 video titles that are associated with the fifth region code that you
set.
To change the region code, do the following:
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.
2. Click Start.
3. Select Programs.
4. Click Intervideo WinDVD.
5. Click Intervideo WinDVD.
6. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.
7. Click the General Properties tab.
8. Insert a single region DVD of the new region.
9. Select the correct region code for your country.
10. Click OK.
Using drive letter access (DLA)
Drive Letter Access (DLA) is provided so that you can write data to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM,
DVD-RW, and DVD-R media. DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and CD-RW media can be written to many times,
while DVD-R and CD-R media can only be formatted and written to once.

If the device icon is still not present, check cable connections and device-jumper settings, and resolve
any conflicts that might exist.
v The drive is not recognized by the operating system, or the drive performs erratically.
Some computers have Compatible and High Performance modes for mass storage devices. Normally,
the drive functions better under the High Performance mode. However, if your drive is not functioning
properly in that mode, you might need to use the Compatible mode.
Use the following procedure to check the configuration-setup information for your computer.
1. Access your configuration utility program.
2. Select Devices.
3. Scroll down to the Mass Storage Devices section.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your computer for additional details on selecting IDE
performance modes.
v The computer does not recognize the drive after the device drivers are loaded.
Check for incompatibilities among the Multi-Burner device driver and other device drivers or other
hardware in your computer. Create a system diskette with minimum CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT system files.
1. Before creating special CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, make a backup copy of these files
in a convenient directory. From a DOS prompt, do the following:
a. Type copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.IBM and press Enter.
b. Type copy AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.IBM and press Enter.
2. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Copy the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files onto the diskette.
4. Turn off the computer and ensure that the system diskette (the diskette that you created) is in the
diskette drive.
5. Restart the computer (the computer starts from the system diskette).
6. Observe the startup messages and ensure that the device driver IBMIDECD.SYS loads. When
MSCDEX loads, observe the drive letter that the computer assigns to the Multi-Burner.
7. Load a data CD into the loading tray; then wait until the Busy indicator is not lit.
8. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir x:, where x is the Multi-Burner drive letter assigned after
the MSCDEX message.
– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists among the device drivers that
are loaded by the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOXEC.BAT file. You need to resolve this device conflict.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your computer for more information on resolving
device conflicts.
– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware problem. If you are unable to
read the disc or a drive letter is not assigned by MSCDEX, go to the next step.
9. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your computer and all
attached devices, and remove the computer cover.
10. Disconnect the IDE and power cables for all IDE devices except the Multi-Burner.
11. Configure the Multi-Burner as a master and connect it to the last IDE connector on the primary
IDE port.
12. Reinstall the computer cover. Reconnect the keyboard; plug the power cords into electrical outlets.
13. Insert the system diskette in the diskette drive and a data disc in the Multi-Burner.
B-2 IBM Multi-Burner User’s Guide
14. Restart the computer.
15. Attempt to read the disc by typing dir C: (the Multi-Burner is drive C because it is the only
device that is connected to the IDE port.)
– If the computer is able to read the disc, a conflict probably exists with one of the devices that
are installed on your computer. You need to resolve this device driver conflict. Check the
configuration jumper settings for the other devices or refer to our device documentation.
– If you are unable to access the disc, you might have a hardware problem. If the Multi-Burner
still does not read the data disc, the Multi-Burner might be defective. Go to Appendix D,
v The disc cannot be read.
Take the following actions:
2. The disc might be defective; try another disc.
3. The disc is not ISO-9660, High Sierra Group (HSG), or Universal Disc Format (UDS) compatible.
Check with your place of purchase.
v There is no sound from the disc.
1. Check that you are not using a data CD.
2. Adjust the audio-adapter volume control. See the documentation that comes with your audio
adapter and audio-CD player program.
3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your computer and all
attached devices, and remove the computer cover. Ensure that the audio-signal cable connects the
Multi-Burner with the sound adapter.
v You receive an error message.
Take the following actions for these common error messages:
– CDR-103
The disc in the Multi-Burner is not High Sierra, ISO 9660, or UDF format. The Multi-Burner does
not support the media.
– CDR-101
A ″not ready reading the drive″ situation occurs when you try to access the Multi-Burner before the
drive is ready. The busy indicator lights when you attempt to access the drive after loading a disc
into the loading tray. Wait until the busy indicator is no longer lit before attempting to access the
drive.
v The connectors on the audio cables that are provided do not fit the connector on your audio adapter.
Some audio adapters might require a special cable. See the documentation that comes with your audio
adapter.
You might have to separately purchase an audio cable for the Multi-Burner. If you are using an IBM
v The Multi-Burner does not operate and will not allow the disc to eject.
Turn off the computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool. The straightened end must
extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the emergency eject hole on the front of
the drive (see “Front view of the drive” on page 1-3). Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently
pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.

Appendix C. Customizing the device driver configuration
settings
Microsoft Windows Me and Windows 2000 Professional have two device-driver configuration parameters:
Auto Insert Notify and DMA.
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or accessing the disc
automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA parameter improves the computer performance
by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the
computer’s microprocessor to preform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make
movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is allocating more processing time to
video.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique Terms.
The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement
of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or
your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements,
or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not include any software programs,
whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies
otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in
this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or
limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials
and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The
warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The
date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are
unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may
return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from
misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by
you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal
or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU
MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a
Machine. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via
telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller. If you do not
register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service,
provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore
them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available
types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller
will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or
a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply
to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called “CRUs”), e.g.,
keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must
Appendix D. Warranty information D-3
return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are
responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM
Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller
replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items
are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at
least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of
the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return
to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not
own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or
your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them
to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in
transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal
information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should
remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on
which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or
limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal
property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges
apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine”
includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its
suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY
CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM
LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR
RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
