Floppy Disk Drive Optical Drive

Floppy Disk Drive

This is a standard 1.44MB floppy disk drive with Japanese 3-mode floppy support. Floppy disk activity
should be seen through the activity LED above the keyboard. Unlike desktop PC floppy disk drives, the
eject button of the Notebook PC is on top of the opening to allow easy floppy ejection from the top.

Optical Drive

The Notebook PC comes in several optical drive models. Choose from CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-
ROM, or DVD-ROM + CD-RW combo.
Optical Drive Eject and Emergency Eject
The CD/DVD-ROM eject is an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject the CD/
DVD through the software CD/DVD player or by right clicking the CD/DVD drive in Windows™ "My
Computer." The emergency eject is used to eject a CD/DVD in case the electronic eject does not work.
Do not use this in place of the electronic eject.

The 25-pin D-sub parallel/printer port supports parallel devices such as printers, hard drives, removable
drives, or scanners.

port support NTSC or PAL formats.
