spindle by pressing down on the disc until it clicks in place. Then gently push in the tray.
NOTICE: Do not use the drive while the computer is in motion. Doing so could interrupt the flow of
data between the disc and the hard-disk drive or diskette drive.
When the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is in use, the drive access indicator blinks on the computer’s front
panel.
If you are using the Microsoft® Windows® 95 or Windows 98 operating system, disable the autoplay feature
while you use the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. (The autoplay feature can interfere with the computer’s
power management functions.) If Dell installed the operating system, the autoplay feature has been disabled.
If you reinstall the operating system or if you installed it yourself, be sure to disable the autoplay feature if you
want to use the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
For instructions on changing the Auto Insert Notification option, see the operating system user’s guide.
