Connecting the CD/CDRW/DVD Drive
You can use the optional PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive, the PCGA-
CDRW51 CD-RW drive, or PCGA-DVD51 DVD drive with your
notebook. If you use either optional drive when your computer is
running on battery power, the battery life will be shorter. The drive draws
power from the computer through a PC card.
To Connect the CD Drive
1
Remove the PC card slot protector from the PC card slot. See “Using
PC Cards” on page 32 for details.
2
Remove the PC card from the bottom side of the CD drive.
✍
You can connect a PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive or PCGA-CDRW51 CD-RW drive while the
computer is on, unless you want to use the System and Application Recovery CDs. Turn off
your computer before using the System and Application Recovery CDs.
Procedures for connecting the CD drive may vary, depending on the CD drive.
See the manual that came with your CD drive for more information on use.
To play an audio CD in the optional PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive with your notebook, your
computer's settings must be set properly. You can check the settings as follows:
1) Click the Start button, select Settings, and click Control Panel.
2) Click the Multimedia icon.
3) Click the CD tab and make sure the Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device box
is checked. When this box is checked, your notebook computer's settings are correct for
playing an audio CD in the PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive.
