The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM drive.
However, operation is the same for the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. The full-size
drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based programs.
You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor.
An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the
computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an LED on the drive glows and the CD-
RW/DVD-ROM and DVD-ROM drive indicator glows.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs section for
precautions on writing to CDs.
