DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive
The full-size DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive module lets you record data to
writable CDs as well as run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs
without using an adaptor.
AC adaptor
The AC adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage
supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from
100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to
use the computer in almost any country/region.
To recharge the battery, simply connect the AC adaptor to a power source
and the computer. Refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes, for
details.
