Using optical disc drives
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 indicator on the drive glows.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on
DVD Super Multi (+-R DL) drives section for precautions on writing to
CDs/DVDs.
