INSTALLING YOUR  
DRIVE  
2
This chapter guides you through the installation of  
your new CD-ROM drive. To install the drive, your PC  
must have a free IDE interface connector, or you must  
buy an IDE controller card from a computer retailer.  
(An Enhanced IDE controller card is required if your  
PC already has a one-port IDE controller). See  
Appendix A for a brief introduction to IDE  
connections.  
2.1 Installing the CD-ROM Drive  
Here’s how to install your CD-ROM drive:  
1. Turn off your PC and remove its casing.  
2. Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the  
CD-ROM drive as necessary. (The factory default  
of the slave mode normally should not be changed.  
See Appendix A.)  
3. Remove the 5.25” drive’s drive guard as instructed  
by your PC manual.  
4. Slide the CD-ROM drive into the drive bay.

audio) connector, labeled “Audio.” The  
unlabeled jumpers on both models are for  
factory testing only.  
6. Plug a free IDE connector inside your PC into the  
drive’s  
socket. The cable’s colored  
edge must be aligned with the Pin 1 position.  
Note:If you have a sound card that has an IDE port,  
you can either connect the CD-ROM drive to  
your PC or to the sound card. You must then  
disable the unused secondary IDE port. See  
Appendix A for what a secondary IDE port is  
and refer to your sound card, PC or IDE  
controller manual for the instructions on  
disabling the unused secondary IDE port.  
7. If you have a sound card with a 4-pin CD-ROM audio  
connector, use the supplied audio cable to connect  
it to the drive’s “  
” connector (the  
” connector on PCA103CD).  
2

PHILIPS CD-ROM DRIVE USERS MANUAL  
8. (Optional connection for advanced PCA123CD users  
only) Use an audio cable with two 2-pin Molex  
connectors to connect an audio output device that  
accepts digital audio input to the drive’s “  
” connector. The digital audio connector  
provides purer sound output than the analog audio  
connector.  
9. Secure the drive with the supplied four screws.  
10.Replace your PC's casing and reconnect the power  
supply.  
This completes the hardware installation.  
2.2 Letting Your System Recognize  
the Drive  
For your system to recognize the new CD-ROM drive, you  
need an appropriate driver to act as the system’s “eye  
opener.” In normal cases, either Windows 95 or OS/2  
Warp should have no problem recognizing the drive with  
the OS’s built-in standard IDE CD-ROM driver. To use  
the drive in DOS and Windows 3.1, however, you need to  
install the supplied device driver.  
2.2.1 If You Are a DOS or Windows 3.x  
User  
Perform the following steps:  
1. Boot your computer.  
2. Identify the directory that contains the file  
.
Note: MSCDEX.EXE comes with DOS 6.0 and above. For  
DOS 6.x, the file is typically located in  
your DOS directory. For DOS installed with  
Windows 95, it is typically located in your  
2
6
 
INSTALLING YOUR DRIVE  
Windows 95 directory’s COMMAND sub-directory.  
You can locate this file by using the File  
Manager’s Search command in Windows 3.x or  
the Start menu’s Find command in Windows 95.  
If the file is missing, contact your DOS or  
Windows 95 distributor for a copy of it.  
3. Insert the Installation diskette into a 3.5” floppy  
drive.  
4. Under DOS, change to the drive where the diskette  
is inserted and type  
.
Note:You must change to that drive before typing  
the “INSTALL” command. Simply typing  
A:\INSTALL or B:\INSTALL will not properly  
install the driver.  
5. Change the destination directory  
if  
necessary and press  
6. Change the name of the directory containing the  
file if necessary and press  
.
7. Reboot your computer.  
If everything is okay, you can start using your CD-  
ROM drive right away. Otherwise, make sure that  
your CD-ROM drive has been correctly set as a  
master device or a slave device (see Appendix A for  
instructions). If this still does not solve the  
problem, contact your Philips distributor or  
representative.  
2.2.2 If You Are a Windows 95 User  
Perform the following steps:  
1. Install Windows 95, if it is not already installed.  
2. Boot your computer. Windows 95 automatically  
starts.

6. Click the  
tab and check whether the  
CD-ROM drive is listed.  
If the CD-ROM icon is listed in both Step 3 and  
this step, you can stop here. Windows 95 has  
successfully recognized your new CD-ROM drive.  
Otherwise, proceed with Steps 7 and 8.  
7. Install the supplied device driver under DOS by  
following the instructions given in Section 2.2.1.  
8. Restart Windows 95 and repeat Step 3.  
This time the CD-ROM icon should appear in  
’s peripheral icon display (but not in the  
Device Manager’s listing for reasons beyond this  
manual’s purposes).  
Note:If you need to but cannot access the CD-ROM drive  
in one of the several available DOS modes, follow  
2
9
 
PHILIPS CD-ROM DRIVE USERS MANUAL  
the instructions in Section 2.2.1 and install the  
supplied device driver under that DOS mode.  
Why couldn’t I install Windows 95 with  
its CD disc? Is my CD-ROM defective?  
No. Your CD-ROM probably had nothing  
to do with that problem.  
If you were making an upgrade from  
Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, you might  
have forgotten to complete the steps  
listed in Section 2.2.1 before  
performing the upgrade. Remember,  
without the CD-ROM driver, Windows 3.1  
has no way to recognize your CD-ROM  
drive.  
If you were installing Windows 95 from  
scratch, the standard IDE CD-ROM driver  
contained in the Windows 95  
installation package might not be  
working properly with your IDE  
controller. Try the diskette version.  
2.2.3 If You Are an OS/2 Warp User  
Perform the following steps:  
1. Install OS/2 Warp, or skip to Step 3 if you already  
have it installed.  
In the former case, when the installation comes  
close to the end, the following dialog box pops up:

11.Close the file after saving it and reboot your PC.  
12.Repeat Steps 4 and 5.  
This time the CD-ROM icon should appear as an  
available drive in the  
window.  
Why couldn’t I install OS/2 Warp with  
its CD disc? Is my CD-ROM defective?  
No. Your CD-ROM probably had nothing to  
do with that problem.  
Instead, the standard IDE CD-ROM driver  
contained in Diskette 1 of the OS/2 Warp  
installation package might not be

USING YOUR CD-ROM  
DRIVE  
3
3.1 Drive Applications  
There are two main ways in which you will use your new  
CD-ROM drive. The first way is as a typical disk  
drive (albeit read-only). Here, data such as program  
files, databases, sound clips, video images, etc. is  
read from the CD into your PC's CPU. The other way is  
as a CD player. You can use your CD-ROM drive to  
listen to music CDs.  
3.2 Manually Controlling the Drive  
Most of the time, you will use application software to  
control the CD-ROM drive.  
However, there are times  
manually controlling the drive can be more direct and  
even necessary. Figure 3-1 shows the drive’s front  
panel components for manually controlling the drive:

A MASTER OR A SLAVE  
DEVICE?  
A
Before sliding your CD-ROM drive into the 5.25” drive  
bay, you have to decide whether the drive is going to  
be a master or slave device by adjusting the  
jumpers on its back. This appendix presents some  
basic concepts of IDE connections to help you make the  
decision and describes the way to set the jumpers.  
and  
A.1 IDE Connections  
When you open your PC box, most likely you will see a  
wide ribbon cable with two 40-pin connectors stemming  
from a connector seat on the mother board; each of the  
connectors may or may not have been connected to a  
peripheral device. Such a cable is called an IDE  
cable and the connector seat an IDE port, The  
functionality of the cable and port is determined by  
an “IDE controller”, either built-in on your  
motherboard or in the form of an add-on card. This  
whole set of things acts as a data bridge between your  
CPU and devices that are designed for use with the IDE  
standards.

IDE controllers may contain more than one port and  
hence contain more than one IDE cable. Such a  
controller is called an enhanced IDE controller. Its  
ports are called the primary port, secondary port,  
tertiary port, etc., usually labeled by the side of  
the ports. Currently, most enhanced IDE controllers  
contain two ports: the primary port and the secondary  
port. Any “bonus” port that comes with a peripheral  
device, for example, your sound card, is taken as a  
secondary port.

Note:Your PC system can have only one port of each  
kind at any time. If you add an enhanced IDE  
controller to the system, you must remove or  
disable the PC’s original port(s). Similarly, if  
a “bonus” port is present, you must disable  
either this port or the PC’s secondary port, if  
your PC already has a secondary port.  
Because each IDE port supports up to two devices, you  
need to tell your PC whether a device you are  
connecting is the master or the slave device of that

port. As a result, if you have more than one IDE  
device, their assignments may look similar to the  
following:

Note that the primary master, if configured, must be a  
boot drive (normally a hard disk). Other than this,  
an IDE device can be configured to any IDE interface  
port and either as a master or a slave at your own  
choice. Here master and slave do not imply any  
operating precedence; they are just the “sub-IDs” of  
the devices that your computer needs to know about.  
1. Currently, a CD-ROM drive cannot be used as a  
boot drive. Therefore, you cannot configure  
the CD-ROM drive as the primary master.  
Note:  
2. If you are using OS/2 Warp and another device  
has already been configured as the primary  
slave, we highly recommend that you  
configure the CD-ROM drive as the master  
device of one of the rest available IDE  
ports.

A.2 Setting Master and Slave  
Jumpers  
Whether your PC system regards your CD-ROM drive as a  
master device or a slave device depends on which of  
the “ ” (master) and “ ” (slave) jumpers on the back  
of the drive is capped.  
or  
Master Mode  
Slave Mode  
Figure A-3Jumper Settings for Slave Mode and Master Mode  
Your CD-ROM drive is shipped with the “ ” jumper  
capped, In spite of this, note from Figure A-3 that  
capping the “ ” jumper is optional for the slave mode.  
To set your CD-ROM drive as a master device, simply  
remove the cap from the “ ” jumper and place it over  
the “ ” jumper.  
1. The “MA” and “SL” jumpers cannot be both  
Note:  
capped at the same time.  
2. A system halt will occur if the “MA” or “SL”  
jumper is set in conflict with the other  
device connected to the same IDE port. An IDE  
port cannot contain two master devices or two  
slave devices at any moment of time.
