Connecting the CD/DVD Drive (optional)

You can purchase the optional CD-ROM drive (PCGA-CD51/A), or DVD drive
(PCGA-DVD51/A), to use with your notebook. If you use any optical drive when
your notebook is running on battery power, the battery life will be shorter. The
drive draws power from the notebook through a PC card. DVD-ROM drives play
both DVDs and CDs.
