To use a multimedia expansion base

The multimedia expansion base provides connections for peripheral devices that you can
leave in place whenever you remove the computer from your desk. Instead of
disconnecting and reconnecting the devices, you can simply undock and dock the
computer. For details, see "Using an Expansion Base" on page 80.
In addition, the expansion base is very portable. You can easily set up your computer and
expansion base as a flexible multimedia system that's convenient for travel.
The expansion base also includes a built-in CD player that uses a CD-ROM or DVD
drive in the right module bay—see "To work with CDs and DVDs," below.

To work with CDs and DVDs

The expansion base includes a built-in CD player that uses a CD-ROM or DVD drive in
the right module bay. If you have an expansion base and a CD-ROM or DVD drive
module, you can play audio CDs with or without the computer—see "Using Plug-In
Modules" on page 86 and "To play audio CDs" on page 83.
If you have a DVD drive module, you can also use your computer to watch DVD
movies—see "To play DVD movies" on page 90.
