Optical Drive
The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The
Notebook PC’s optical drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital
video discs (DVD) and may have recordable (R) or re-writable (RW) capabili-
ties. See the marketing specifications for details on each model.
Optical Drive Activity Indicator (location varies by model)
The optical drive activity indicator shows when data is being transferred by the optical disk
drive. This indicator will light in proportion to the data size transferred.
Optical Drive Electronic Eject
The optical drive eject has an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject
the optical drive tray through any software player or by right clicking the optical drive in
Windows™ “My Computer.”
Optical Drive Emergency Eject (location varies by model)
The emergency eject is used to eject the optical drive tray in case the electronic eject does
not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject.
Flash Memory Slot
Normally a PCMCIA or USB memory card reader must be purchased separately in order
to use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones,
and PDAs. This Notebook PC has a built-in memory card reader that can read many flash
memory cards as specified later in this manual. The built-in memory card reader is not
only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because
it utilizes the high-bandwidth PCI bus.
