4. Using the Notebook PC

CD/DVD-ROM Drive

NOTE: The terms "CD-ROM" or "CD" are mainly used in all documentation because of
its wide familiarity, although "CD/DVD-ROM" or "CD/DVD" should be more appropriate
with the DVD-ROM model Notebook PC. Please substitute where appropriate.
The CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) drive can support all the popular formats: Audio/
Music CDs; Photo CDs; MS-DOS MSCDEX Mode 1 / Mode 2; CD-ROM/XA; CD-I; and Video CDs.
NOTE: Only one CD may be used at one time in this CD drive. The CD drive eject
button is electronic and requires that the Notebook PC be powered ON in order to
eject the CD drive tray. When the Notebook PC is OFF, press the stop button on the
front of the Notebook PC twice to eject the CD tray.
Inserting a CD
1. While the Notebook PC's power is ON, press
the CD drive eject button and the CD drive tray
will eject out partially.
2. Hold the CD drive front panel and slide the CD
drive tray completely out. Be careful not to touch
the CD drive lens and other mechanisms. Make
sure there are no obstructions that may get
jammed under the CD drive tray.
3. Hold the CD by the edge and face the printed
side up. Snap the CD onto the hub by pressing
on both sides of the CD center. The hub should
be higher than the CD when correctly
mounted.
4. Slowly push the CD drive tray back into the
Notebook PC. The drive begins reading the table
of contents (TOC) on the CD. When the drive
stops, the CD is ready to use.
NOTE: It is normal to hear as well as feel the CD spinning with great intensity in the
CD drive while data is read.
