• When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the
label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the
labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the
diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get
stuck in the floppy drive when you are inserting or removing it.
CD-ROM drive
Your system comes with a slim-type CD-ROM drive. This drive is located
on the front panel of your system. The CD-ROM drive allows you to
play different types of compact discs (CDs) and video CDs.
CDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy to carry
around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and must be
handled with extra care.
To insert a CD into your system’s CD-ROM drive:
1 Gently push the eject button located on the front panel.
2
When the disc tray slides open, insert the CD. Make sure that the
label or title side of the disc is facing upward.
Caution! Hold the disc by the edges to avoid leaving smudges or
fingerprints.
3 Push the eject button again to close the tray.
Ejecting the CD tray
• To eject the CD or DVD tray when the computer is turned on, press
the CD-ROM drive eject button
• To eject the CD or DVD tray when the computer is turned off,
insert the tip of a pen or a paperclip into the emergency eject hole
to pop out the tray.
