Connecting a PC Card Bus Drive
You can use an optional PC Card Bus drive with your computer. Some PC Card
Bus drives draw power from the computer through the PC Card. If you use this
type of drive when the computer is running on battery power, the battery life will
be shorter.
To connect a PC Card Bus drive
Procedures for connecting an optical drive may vary, depending on the specific
drive you purchase. See the manual supplied with your optical drive for more
information on its installation and use.
1 Remove the PC Card from the bottom side of the optical drive.
2 Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot with the SONY logo facing up. See
“Using PC Cards” for details.
If you connect a non-Sony DVD drive to your VAIO® computer, the DVD
playback may not function properly. The bundled DVD software must be
installed to play a DVD.
For best performance, it is recommended that you use a Sony compatible
DVD drive.
✍
You can connect an optical drive while the computer is on. For specific instructions on
using your supplied Application Recovery and System Recovery CDs, see “Using Your
Recovery CDs” for more information.
