CD-ROM Drive
A.1
Introduction
Your system includes a CD-ROM drive in a 5.25-inch half-height form factor. This drive is ideal for multimedia
applications that incorporate graphics, animation, full-motion video, electronic publishing, and information
distribution.
This CD-ROM drive is designed to be compatible with an industry standard – the Enhanced IDE/ATAPI interface.
The Enhanced IDE/ATAPI interface allows the CD-ROM drive to share the same data bus and interface card with
a hard disk drive.
With the Boot from CD-ROM option
enabled in your system BIOS, there is a
possibility that your system will encounter
problems at bootup if you are using a non-
bootable CD. If this occurs, remove the CD
and reboot the system.
