Operating Basics
Using optical disc 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.
If you have a DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on
DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
