This DVD Delete Adapter is designed for hard-modded consoles running a BIOS that already supports no-DVD operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the factory DVD drive is removed from an original Xbox, the console can still expect certain tray-state signals to be present at the motherboard DVD power header. If those signal lines are left floating, the console may behave unpredictably, even when using a compatible no-DVD BIOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter plugs directly into the motherboard DVD power header and settles the DVD tray-state lines into the expected no-media state, helping to keep your DVD-less build clean, reliable and tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Hard-Modded No-DVD Builds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is intended for original Xbox consoles that have been hard-modded and are running a BIOS with proper no-DVD support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e replace the full DVD drive logic board, does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e emulate a DVD drive as an IDE device, and does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e bypass the stock Microsoft BIOS DVD drive check by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your console is still running a stock\/OEM BIOS, removing the factory DVD drive may still result in a DVD-related error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use One?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven with the DVD check disabled in the BIOS, the Xbox’s onboard System Management Controller can still monitor the DVD tray-state lines.
