Using optical media drives
The computer can be configured with one of the following optical media
drives: CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive.
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM
drive. However, operation is the same for the other drives. The full-size
drive provides high-performance execution of DVD-ROM or CD-ROM-
based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs
without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for drive
operation. When the computer is accessing a disc, an LED on the drive
glows. Refer to Chapter 2, The Grand Tour, for specifications on each
type of drive.
