[. . . ] 12/20PleX CD-ROM Drive Operation Manual Model PX-20TSi Internal Model PX-20TSe External February 1997 FCC NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] You may need to use the SCSI cable and, most important, the audio cable we have included with your 12/20PleX (see page 34 for a discussion on audio cables). If you have an external drive, you will also need a special bracket connector and an internal SCSI cable. They allow the internal SCSI connector on your soundboard to be linked or connected to your external drive. If they were not provided by your soundboard manufacturer, you will need to purchase them from a local computer supply store. See the discussion about device drivers in Chapter 9 of this manual. Once you have assembled everything you need, you're ready to install your drive. But first, a few words of caution are in order. 8 12/20PLEX OPERATION MANUAL ---- CHAPTER 4 ---- Precautions YOUR TASK: YOUR OBJECTIVE: YOUR METHOD: Read the list of precautions below. Review the list and use common sense. Your new CD-ROM drive is a precision electromechanical device. Like the rest of your computer system, it requires reasonable care in its installation and use. Please read this manual carefully and keep it handy for easy reference. See your dealer, or call Plextor's Technical Support Department, should your drive require repair or service. # Do not put your computer monitor (or any other device weighing more than 30 lbs. ) on top of the 12/20PleX external drive. # Do not place your drive in direct sunlight, on heating units, or near electrical appliances that draw large amounts of current, such as a high-powered audio amplifier, microwave oven, toaster, hair dryer, etc. Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other contaminants. Do not allow moisture or liquids such as water, cleaning fluids, or solvents to touch the drive. Thinner, benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar your drive's surface. To help ensure that your CD-ROM discs remain free of dirt or other contaminants, they should be stored in a jewel case. Removing the cover may expose you to harmful electrical voltages or the laser beam. For your safety, entrust service to Plextor-authorized service personnel only. 12/20PLEX OPERATION MANUAL 9 ---- CHAPTER 5 ---- Drive Features YOUR TASK: YOUR OBJECTIVE: Get to know your drive.

Jumpers: Use to select SCSI ID number, parity, termination, test, block size, and eject lock options. [. . . ] See page 19 for an explanation of SCSI termination and to determine if you need to change this setting. Leave this OFF, unless you are working in a UNIX environment and want to boot from your CD-ROM drive. However, if you are in an environment where you want to prevent others from borrowing or stealing the disc inserted in your drive (e. g. , the drive is located in a public place where multiple users have unlimited access), you can activate the Eject Lock feature. When this switch/jumper is ON, it is impossible to eject a disc inserted in the drive by pressing the Eject button. [. . . ]
