Installation Notes
•
•
The SD-R6372 DVD Rewriteable drive has no jumpers that need to be set
Mounting orientation: 15° (horizontally), 15° vertically (volume control in down position), 30
(drive with volume control in up position).
•
•
When mounting drive use 4 M2-PO.4 tapping holes located on the left and right sides of drive.
When mounting drive, the tightening torque of the four screws must be even. Recommended
screw tightening torque is 2N
•
For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm
should be left in all directions.
Software Driver
Toshiba's SD-R6372 drive does not require any unique device drivers for Windows '98/2000/XP/NT.
After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Win '98/2000/XP/NT
Operating Systems support all Toshiba's ATAPI drives natively. If you prefer using DOS, download the
ATAPI driver from our web site.

Usage Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD Rewriteable drive
Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
Do not place objects on the disc tray
Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc
Do not press the Eject button while the drive is accessing a disc
Emergency Ejection
CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when
pressing the eject button fails to open the Loading Tray.
5
1. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.
2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the
picture below.
3. Loading tray will open/eject.
Figure 2.Using Emergency Eject
Handling Media
CD/DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only.
Cleaning Media
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc
accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather
from the inner side outward.
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only
half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by
the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are
inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

•
Is the drive connected properly? Are all cables plugged in properly (e.g.
Power Cable, Interface Cable and Audio Cables).
Is the software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the
system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid drivers
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.
•
Has the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver been corrupted by a
virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact
Technical Support if the Virus renders the DVD Rewriteable
drive software drivers not useable.

Win NT, etc.)
•
•
Is the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver loaded? On a step-by-step
(F8) Boot of the system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid DVD drivers
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.
Has the Windows DVD Rewriteable drive software driver program been
corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible.
Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not
useable.
