Operating Basics

Using optical media drives

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of

CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or

8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is

used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a

CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows and the Ultra Slim Bay

indicator glows.

If you have a DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the
