INSTALLATION NOTES FOR THE IBM IDE CD-ROM DRIVE Directory --------- 1.0 System-Specific Installation Notes 1.1 PC-3xx PC-7xx 1.2 PS/ValuePoint 6387 Wxx and Xxx 1.3 EduQuest 9615 1.4 IBM 8640, 9576S, and 9577S 1.5 Connor Hard Disk Drives 1.6 Audio Adapters 1.7 Windows 1.8 SMARTDRV 1.9 PS/2 Model 80 with REPLY Upgrade Motherboard 2.0 DOS/Windows Software 3.0 OS/2 Software 3.1 Diskette Contents 3.2 Installing OS/2 CD Version from Your IDE CD-ROM Drive 3.3 Enabling DMA 4.0 Windows 95 5.0 Windows NT 6.0 DOS Diagnostic (CDDIAG) 1.0 System-Specific Installation Notes -------------------------------------- 1.1 PC-3xx and PC-7xx --------------------- If you have an IBM PC-3xx or PC-7xx system with pre-loaded, dual-boot DOS/Windows and OS/2-Warp, you may use the quick-installation procedure: 1. Go to a DOS command prompt or a DOS Full Screen session 2. Insert the option diskette into drive A: 3. Type A:CDSETUP2. CDSETUP2 will automatically copy the DOS and Warp Device Drivers to your hard disk, and update your CONFIG.SYS (both DOS and OS/2) and AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 1.2 IBM PS/ValuePoint 6387 Wxx and Xxx -------------------------------------- When Level 2 (L2) cache is added to the PS ValuePoint 6387 Wxx and Xxx systems, the IDE port may run too fast. If you have this configuration, you should add a "/T:1" parameter to the device driver statement in CONFIG.SYS as shown below: DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD100 /T:1 1.3 EduQuest 9615 ----------------- Due to interrupt conflicts, the secondary IDE port in this system uses a non-standard interrupt. To use the IDE CD-ROM drive on the secondary IDE port, you must change the device driver statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. The required changes are underlined in the examples below. For DOS, the statement should be: DEVICE=IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD100 /P:170,11 --------- For OS/2, the statement should be: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /IRQ:11 ------------ See your publications for further information. 1.4 IBM 8640, 9576S, and 9577S ------------------------------ When the IDE CD-ROM drive is configured as master on the primary IDE port, Windows 3.X will report "Not Ready" errors when you try to read a disc. To fix this problem, make sure that the following statement is in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI is the default path): [386Enh] . . . VirtualHDirq=off <-- add this statement or turn it to "off" if it is "on" 1.5 Connor Hard Disk Drives --------------------------- Many Connor hard disk drives manufactured before July 1993 operated in a special mode that is not compatible with the IDE CD-ROM drive. More recent Connor hard drives provide a jumper to select Standard ATA or Connor modes. This jumper is labeled A/C on the circuit card. The jumper must be ON to enable ATA mode on these hard disk drives. IDE hard drives shipped in IBM systems operate in ATA mode to ensure compatibility. 1.6 Audio Adapters ------------------ Many audio adapters default to IRQ 7. IBM recommends using a different interrupt, if possible, to avoid problems with some applications. 1.7 Windows 3.1 --------------- If you have the IDE CD-ROM drive installed on the primary IDE port, problems may occur when Windows 3.X operates in Enhanced mode. These problems may be solved by editing your Windows SYSTEM.INI file (the default path is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI). Look for the following statements: [386Enh] . . . VirtualHDirq=off <-- If "on", change to "off". If this statement . is not present, add it to SYSTEM.INI. This is required only if the CD-ROM is master on the primary port. . 32BitDiskAccess=off <-- If "on", change to "off". If this statement is not present, add it to SYSTEM.INI. 1.8 SMARTDRV ------------ See your publications for more information about SMARTDRV.EXE. 1.8.1 SMARTDRV.EXE Invoked From CONFIG.SYS ------------------------------------------ This note applies only for DOS 5.0 through DOS 6.2. When SMARTDRV is installed in CONFIG.SYS as a device driver, IDE CD-ROM drive performance may be reduced. If you suspect this, remove the "DEVICE=SMARTDRV.EXE" statement from your CONFIG.SYS file. 1.8.2 SMARTDRV 4.0 ------------------ If your IDE CD-ROM drive is configured as slave, SMARTDRV 4.0 may cause intermittent hangs when you read from your CD-ROM. The DOS installation utility has an option which will automatically disable hard disk write caching to fix the problem. See section 2.3, "Installation Process" for more information. The installation program assumes that SMARTDRV is in the WINDOWS directory of your hard disk. If it is not, you must update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file manually. Using a text editor, add the drive letters of your hard disk partitions after the SMARTDRV statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Example: SMARTDRV C D. 1.8.3 SMARTDRV 5.0 ------------------ If you have SMARTDRV 5.0 with MS-DOS 6.2 or PC-DOS 6.3, you may have problems reading multi-session discs such as Kodak Photo CD. The DOS installation utility has an option which will automatically disable SMARTDRV CD-ROM caching to fix the problem. The installation program assumes that SMARTDRV is in the DOS directory of your hard disk. If it is not, you must update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file manually. Using a text editor, add a "/U" after the SMARTDRV statement. Example: SMARTDRV /U. 1.9 PS/2 Model 80 with REPLY Upgrade Motherboard ------------------------------------------------- If you have an IBM PS/2 Model 80 with the REPLY upgrade motherboard and wish to use OS/2 or WARP, edit CONFIG.SYS to ensure that the statement BASEDEV=IBM2IDE.ADD comes before the statement BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD 2.0 DOS/Windows Software ------------------------ The installation diskette contains all of the software needed to install and operate the IBM IDE CD-ROM drive in the DOS and Windows environments.

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and proceed with the installation process. 3.3 Enabling DMA --------------- OS/2 WARP 4.0 device drivers (include on this option diskette) support DMA transfers. The use of DMA can significantly improve your CD-ROM drive's performance. If your system mother-board supports DMA, you can enable it by changing the IBM1S506.ADD statement in your CONFIG.SYS statement as shown below: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:x /BM [/A:x] indicates the port to which the CD-ROM is attached. 0 = Primary IDE Port 1 = Secondary IDE Port 2 = Tertiary IDE Port 3 = Quadranary IDE Port [/BM] enables DMA transfers. For example, if your CD-ROM is configured as Master on the Secondary IDE port, the statement in CONFIG.SYS would be: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /BM Type HELP IBM1S506.ADD at the OS/2 command line for more information. 4.0 Windows 95 -------------- Windows 95 has native device drivers which support IDE CD-ROMs. These device drivers should automatically detect the presense of the CD-ROM. No additional steps are required. Your system's CD-ROM PROPERTIES setting may not have a "DMA" option. This is because older versions of Windows 95 do not support this option. 5.0 Windows NT -------------- Windows NT version 3.51 and later have native device drivers which support IDE CD-ROMs. If you are using Windows NT 3.51: - Enter the Main folder - Click on Control Panel - Click on Devices - Select atapi - Click on Startup - Click on Boot - Click on OK - Select Cdfs - Click on Startup - Click on System - Select OK - Close all folders, shut down, and restart the system. Windows NT version 4.0 should automatically detect the presence of the IDE CD-ROM. No additional steps are required to activate the device drivers. Some IBM Windows NT pre-loads contain a "piixide" device driver. This device driver replaces the Windows NT native "atapi" device driver and provides DMA support. The IDE CD-ROM will NOT work if both "atapi" and "piixide" are enabled at the same time. If this occurs, go into Control Panel and set the Startup parameter of one of the drivers to "Disabled". 6.0 DOS Diagnostic (CDDIAG.EXE) ------------------------------- CDDIAG is a diagnostic program for testing the IBM IDE CD-ROM drive. CDDIAG may only be run in real DOS mode, not virtual DOS on OS/2, or DOS emulation under Windows, Windows 95, or Windows-NT. To thoroughly test your IBM IDE CD-ROM drive, you will need a CD-ROM data-only disc and an audio CD. Discs which contain both data and audio, or multi-session discs such as PhotoCDs or CD-Enhanced should not be used with CDDIAG. The Variable Transfer Rate test results should range from approximately 10x on the Inner Disc to 24x on the Outer Disc. To get the maximum transfer rate, you must use a disc with approximately 600 MB of data on it. You must also have the CD-ROM set for HIGH PERFORMANCE MODE in your BIOS settings. Your BIOS should default to HIGH PERFORMANCE MODE. Please refer to the instruction which came with your computer to determine how to change your system's IDE device configuration. NOTE: Some older systems' IDE controllers will limit the data transfer rate to approximately 22x. You cannot obtain optimal performance on these computers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) IBM Corporation 1997.
