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) capabilities. See the marketing specifica-
tions 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 Emergency Eject

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.
Optical Drive Electronic Eject
8
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."
Flash Memory Slot
9
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.
