INSTALLATION  
Host Interface Connections  
Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and  
secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables  
allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that  
you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your CD-ReWritable  
drive. This will ensure that your hard drive’s performance and speed  
won’t be affected by having the CD-RW drive on the same cable.  
If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper  
as “master” or “slave”.  
If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same  
cable, set different jumpers for each device (CD-ROM as “master”,  
CD-RW as “slave” and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the  
connection of having your hard disk and one other device on the  
same cable.

CD-WRITER 5232IM  
You may consider one of the two ways recommended below to  
connect your drive.  
To get the most stable performance for the CD-RW drive to write:  
Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk  
Primary IDE Slave: CD-ROM Drive  
Secondary IDE Master: CD-RW drive  
For best hard disk performance:  
Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk  
Secondary IDE Master: CD-ROM drive  
Secondary IDE Salve: CD-RW drive  
Hardware Installation  
1. Turn off the power to the computer system and all peripheral  
devices.  
2. Disconnect all cables from the back of your computer, and then  
remove the cover from the computer.  
3. Insert the CD-ReWritable drive into one of the vacant 5.25" drive  
bays and secure it with screws to your PC.  
In order to prevent interference between the CD-ReWritable drive and the  
computer, please make sure to mount the drive using all four mounting  
screws.  
4. Connect the 40-pin IDE cable from one of the IDE ports on the  
mainboard to the 40-pin connector of your CD-ReWritable drive.  
Also, connect the power supply cable to the back of the CD-  
ReWritable drive.  
4
CD-WRITER 5232IM  
The red-edge of the IDE Cable must be connected to Pin 1 on the CD-  
ReWritable drive.  
5. If you have a sound card that can be connected to this CD-  
ReWritable drive, you can connect the drive (as Audio-out) and the  
sound card (as Audio-in) with a 4-pin audio cable. (See figure above.)  
If your mainboad is integrated with built-in sound system, plug the 4-  
pin audio cable into the CD-IN connector on the mainboard as  
Audio-in.  
6. Re-attach the cover of your computer, and reconnect all power cords.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
To help you get more familiar with CD-WRITER 5232IM, the following FAQ  
lists some common problems you might encounter. Please read it for  
reference before you request RMA support from your dealer.  
Q1. CD-WRITER 5232IM cannot be recognized.  
(1) The drive might not be connected properly. Please check whether the  
IDE cable and power connector are tightly connected.  
(2) Check if there is jumper conflict. Normally, if 2 drives connected with  
one IDE cable, the jumper has to separate one to MASTER & the other  
to SLAVE.  
(3) If Windows can’t detect CD-WRITER 5232IM, click on the “Add New  
Hardware” in the Control Panel. Windows will start detecting.  
Q2. CD-WRITER 5232IM doesn’t have power.  
Please check if the power cord is connected securely.  
Q3. The CD-RW drive cannot read some general discs.  
Please check if the disc has deep scratches, fingerprints, or other  
contaminants on the discs surface. Clean the disc if it’s necessary.  
Q4. There is noise while reading.  
If the disc used is eccentric or there are labels stuck on the disc surface, it  
will cause noise.  
Q5. The drive can’t read former session(s) of the CD-R disc which has  
been written twice or more times.  
Before writing CD-R discs with data copy, remember to choose “Import  
session” so as to read the former sessions.  
Q6. The external speaker doesn’t have sound when playing music CD.  
12  
CD-WRITER 5232IM  
(1) Please check if the audio cable is connected to the audio connector  
properly.  
(2) Check both rear side of the CD-RW drive and sound card on M/B (If  
Audio chipset is on board). If they are well connected, check if the  
sound card is working.  
Q7. The tray cannot be ejected.  
There are two possible reasons:  
(1) Need to be ejected by the application.  
Some of the burning or playing application will lock the drive. You have  
to eject by application and close it so as to restore the use of panel  
buttons.  
(2) The CD is inserted incorrectly.  
Please insert a paper clip or small rod into the emergency hole on the  
front panel for manual ejection.  
Q8. CD-WRITER 5232IM drive cannot write.  
We suggest as follows:  
(1) Use the burning software which is provided by original supplier and  
bundled with this CD-ReWritable drive or download the update file from  
internet.  
(2) More capacity of hard disk is needed if using hard disk as temporary  
buffer.  
(3) Place the disc correctly.  
(4) The blank disc needs full format first if using packet writing software.  
Q9. “Buffer underrun” always occurs while writing discs.  
Here are some suggestions:  
(1) Close the screen saver & TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident).  
(2) Quit other redundant application when burning.  
(3) Select good quality and high-speed supported blank discs.  
13  
CD-WRITER 5232IM  
(4) Increase main memory capacity.  
(5) Select other burning software.  
(6) De-fragment the hard disk.  
(7) Keep the source & destination discs clean. (no scratches, fingerprints or  
contamination.)  
(8) Copy data as image file to hard drive to avoid buffer underrun.  
(9) Keep the system clean. Do not install redundant driver or application to  
reduce system loading as well as confliction.  
(10) Enable Buffer Underrun Protection mode if your software supports it.  
Q10. Does this CD-RW drive support over-burning?  
Yes, but please use burning software which supports this function.  
Q11. What burning software supports this CD-RW drive?  
Software such as Adaptec EasyCD Creator, Ahead Nero-Burning ROM,  
NTI CDMaker…etc.  
Q12. Does CD-WRITER 5232IM support CD-Text & SAO (Session At  
Once) function?  
Yes, it does support CD-Text & SAO function and you may edit the title or  
content into your music CD.
