How to install the optical drive

The installation of the optical drive is relatively simple. It is similar to the installation of a hard disk. For SATA optical drives, connect the data cable and the power cord. For the IDE CD-ROM, one of the main problems is to set the main disk and sub-disk, generally on the optical drive is indicated by the jumper mode, MA represents the main disk, SL represents the secondary disk. In general, we set the optical drive as a sub-disk, connect it to the hard drive on the same data line, in the case of the CD drive is set to the main disk, you can separate it with a data cable, it is connected to the motherboard of the secondary IDE port. When connecting a data cable, be aware of the direction of the interface. In addition, there is an easy problem is the CD audio cable connection, CD-ROM optical drive audio interface generally has 4 needles, respectively, is the left and right channels and two ground, R for the left channel, L for the channel, G for the ground. There is also a similar socket on the sound card that receives the CD audio signal from the optical drive and zooms it out to the "Speaker" hole. The CD audio cable has 3-or 4-core, and 4-core is just one more ground. When connecting the audio cable, pay attention to the optical drive and sound card of the left and right channel and ground to correspond, otherwise there may be problems, such as CD when only one horn ring.

Set up a method to boot from the optical drive

1) First press the DEL key to enter the BIOS after the machine starts

2) Select the Advanced BIOS via the arrow keys on the keyboard Features

3) Enter the BIOS setup interface

4) Use the arrow keys to select first boot device or (1st boot device) Carriage return

5) Select CDROM with the upper and Lower arrow keys

6) Press ESC to return to the BIOS setup screen. Press F10

7) Press ' Y ' key to enter, restart the computer

8) Restart the computer, put in the disc, when reading the disc press ENTER (that is, there is a row of the black screen on the AnyKey to boot from CDROM, immediately enter)

It is important to note that, due to different BIOS, setting the keys after entering the BIOS may be different. If it is an AMI bios, press the RIGHT ARROW key after entering the BIOS, fourth, then select the same option as the first boot device, and then save the changes to exit. If it is a notebook, you can press F2 to enter the BIOS, the following settings are similar.
