Dell 9U159 CD-RW drive for legacy IDE systems

The Dell 9U159 is an internal CD-RW drive that connects through a standard IDE interface. It writes CD-R media at 48X, rewrites CD-RW media at 32X and reads at 48X. This unit suits owners of older desktops or industrial PCs that still use parallel ATA connections.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The drive operates from the host power supply without an external adapter. In typical use the mechanism runs quietly and stays within normal temperature limits for 5.25 inch optical units. Power consumption remains modest during read or write sessions.

Questions about this item

How is the 48X 32X 48X IDE Internal CD-RW Drive installed in a desktop, and which jumper setting is often missed?

Slide the drive into a 5.25-inch bay, secure it with screws, connect the 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to the motherboard and attach a Molex power connector; set the rear jumper to Master or Cable Select matching the BIOS.

What maintenance will the 48X 32X 48X IDE Internal CD-RW Drive need later, and when should the laser lens be cleaned?

Use a lens-cleaning disc when read errors appear on commercial discs; replace the unit if write verification fails repeatedly on new 48X CD-R or 32X CD-RW media.
