Operating Basics
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. A Serial ATA 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 (Double Layer) Drive Kit II, refer also to the
Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) Drive Kit II section
for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs.
