Power-saving mode
If the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive has not been accessed within 30 seconds (in the case
of CD-ROM drive) or 120 seconds (in the case of DVD-ROM drive), the drive motor will
automatically shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM drive is accessed once again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However,
approximately 30 seconds are required until data is actually read from the disc.
NOTE
If the vibration of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive is excessive, set the [CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM Drive Speed] to [Low] in the Setup Utility.
