CD-ROM drive and connect an external floppy drive to the floppy/parallel port on
the unit or the docking bar. (See “External Floppy Drive” on page 19.)

is installed, it must be rebooted.
When the CD-ROM drive is installed and active, the CD-ROM drive icon lights in
the status display bar. (See page 8.)
