Operating Basics
Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optional media 
drive. However, operation is the same for other optical drive in the Slim 
Select Bay. 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 Slim Select Bay indicator 
glows.
If you have a DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, refer also to th
 section for precautions on writing to CDs.
