Operating Basics
Using optical disc drives
The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD/BD
based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15")
CD/DVD/BDs without an adaptor. A Serial ATA interface controller is used
for CD/DVD/BD operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD/BD,
an indicator on the drive glows.
If you have a DVD SuperMulti drive, BD Writer drive or BD Combo drive,
refer also to the Writing CD/DVD/BDs on DVD Super Multi drives, BD
Writer drives or BD Combo drives section for precautions on writing to
CDs/DVDs/BDs.
