Drive Installation
!Shut down your computer and disconnect all cables
plugged into the computer. [Fig. 1]
@Remove the computer’s case (refer to your computer’s
documentation).
#Once the cover is removed, touch a non-painted metal
surface (i.e. the power supply) to ground yourself. This is
an important step! You can damage the components
inside the computer if you do not ground yourself.
$If you are replacing an existing drive:
Unplug the cables from the rear of the drive. [Fig. 2]
Remove the mounting hardware holding the drive in place
(refer to your computer’s documentation).
Slide the drive out through the front of the computer. [Fig. 3]
%If you are NOT replacing an existing drive (i.e. adding an
additional drive):
Remove the front cover plate from the empty drive bay
where you are installing the drive (refer to your computer’s
documentation).
^Check the jumper settings on the ND-3500A:
If you are replacing an existing drive, set the jumper to the
same setting as the drive you are replacing. The jumper is
the black plastic piece on the back of your drive bridging
two of the six pins as seen below [Fig 4]. You may need
small needle nose pliers to gently slide the jumper off.
If you are installing the ND-3500A as an additional drive,
you will need to set the jumper settings according to your
system requirements (see next page).

Jumper Setting Tutorial:
There are three possible jumper settings: MASTER, SLAVE,
and CABLE SELECT (CSEL). When two drives are connected
to the same interface cable, one must be set to MASTER, and
one set to SLAVE. Alternatively, both drives may be set to
CABLE SELECT, in which case the system defines which
drive is MASTER and which drive is SLAVE. If only one drive
is present, set the jumper to MASTER. The ND-3500A ships
with a default setting of MASTER.
If you are installing the ND-3500A as a second drive, look at
the jumper settings on the second drive (already in your
system). If the settings on that drive are set to MASTER or
SLAVE, set the jumper on the ND-3500A to the opposite
setting. If the existing drive is set to CABLE SELECT (CSEL),
set the jumper on the ND-3500A to CSEL also.
&Slide the ND-3500A into the empty drive bay, from the
front of the computer. [Fig 5]
*Mount the drive to your computer’s chassis using the
existing mounting hardware, or the provided screws (refer
to your computer’s documentation).
(Connect the interface cable, making sure the red stripe
matches Pin 1 on the drive. If your drive is set to
MASTER, connect it to the endmost connector on the
cable. [Fig. 6]
)Connect the included analog audio cable from the drive’s
audio connector to your sound card (not applicable for
Windows®XP users or those using digital audio
playback). [Fig. 7]
1Connect the power cable. [Fig. 7]
2Replace the computer’s cover and re-connect all cables
that were previously unplugged.
3Power-up the computer.
