To insert the DVD-ROM or CD-RW drive
You do not need to shut down the computer to insert the DVD-ROM or CD-RW
drive into the multipurpose bay.
Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc
may cause writing errors.
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your computer when you are
writing data to a CD-RW or CD-R. Using battery power may result in data transfer
failure.
✍
If your computer is turned off, do not follow these instructions.
✍
Be sure to insert the weight saver into the multipurpose bay when the bay is empty.
See “To insert a second battery pack” on page 64 for details on inserting the weight
saver.
