Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM drive.
However, operation is the same for the CD-ROM drive, CD-R/RW drive and
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance
execution of DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72) or 8
cm (3.15) compact disks/digital versatile disks without an adaptor. An ATAPI
interface controller is used for CD-ROM operation. When the computer is access-
ing a DVD-ROM, an LED on the drive glows.

4. Lay the CD, label side up, in the drawer.
NOTE: When the drawer is fully opened, the edge of the computer will
extend slightly over the CD tray. Therefore, you will need to turn the CD
at an angle when you place it in the tray. After seating the CD, however,
make sure it lies flat, as shown in figure 4-8.
CAUTIONS: 1. Do not touch the laser lens. Doing so could cause
misalignment.
2. Be careful to keep foreign matter from entering the
drive. Check the back edge of the tray to make sure it
carries no debris before closing the drive.
5. Press gently at the center of the CD until you feel it click into place. The CD
should lie below the top of the spindle, flush with the spindle base.

CD/DVDs care
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase the
lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:
1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and keep
them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD/DVD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the CD/

horizontal surface when in use. Do not set the drive on an
incline greater than 20
o while it is operating.
2. Do not set anything on top of the diskette drive.
3. If you need to boot the computer from the diskette drive or if
you use an OS that does not support USB, you must set the
USB-FDD Legacy Emulation feature in HW Setup to
Enabled. Refer to the USB section in Chapter 7.
Connecting 3 1/2 diskette drive
To connect the drive, plug the diskette drive connector into a USB port. Refer to
Figure 4-12.
NOTE: Make sure the connector is right side up and properly aligned
with the socket. Do not try to force the connection, doing so can damage
the connecting pins.
Figure 4-12  Connecting the diskette drive to the computer
NOTE: If you connect the diskette drive after turning on the computer, it
will take about 10 seconds for the computer to recognize the drive. Do not
disconnect and reconnect before 10 seconds has elapsed.

Disconnecting 3 1/2 diskette drive
When you have finished using the diskette drive, follow the procedures below to
disconnect it:
1. Wait for the indicator light to go out to make sure all diskette activity has
stopped.
CAUTION: If you disconnect the diskette drive or turn off the power
while the computer is accessing the drive you may lose data or damage
the diskette or the drive.
2. Pull the diskette drive connector out of the USB port.
Diskette care
Handle your diskettes with care. The following simple precautions will increase the
lifetime of your diskettes and protect the data you store on them:
1. Store your diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and keep
them clean. If a diskette is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it with a soft
damp cloth.
2. Do not slide back the diskette’s protective metal covering or touch the
diskette’s magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the diskette drive from
reading data from the diskette.
3. Data may be lost if the diskette is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct sunlight
or extreme heat or cold.
4. Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes.
5. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles inside
the diskette’s jacket can damage the magnetic surface.
6. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your diskettes. Keep your diskettes
away from speakers, radios, television sets and other sources of magnetic
fields.

Wireless communications
Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum radio technology that complies with IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN
standard (Revision B). It supports the following features:
❑Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2
and 1 Mbit/s.
❑Frequency Channel Selection (2.4 GHz)
❑Roaming over multiple channels
❑Card Power Management
❑Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit RC4
encryption algorithm as defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard on wireless
LANs.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a wireless LAN.
Wireless communication switch
You can enable or disable wireless LAN function, with the on/off switch. No
