COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
The drive performs a diagnostic check and automatically begins reading
the table of contents (TOC). The busy indicator turns amber while the
drive reads the TOC.
NOTE
: The compact disc is automatically ejected if the disc is upside down
or if any other condition prevents the drive from reading the disc.
When the busy indicator turns green, the drive is ready to receive
commands and data may be retrieved from the disc.
4. To remove the compact disc, press the Eject button.
IMPORTANT:
Certain applications or operating system software may
disable the Eject button to prevent accidental damage to the disc. If the Eject
button is disabled by the application software, it will not operate.
CAUTION:
Do not apply labels to CDs. With 24X and faster CD-
ROM drives, the presence of a label causes the CD to be
unbalanced and may cause either inconsistent operation or failure
of the drive.
Using CD-ROM Software
The first time you use a software program that comes on a compact disc, it may
load a certain amount of program data onto the hard drive of your workstation.
This enables the program to run more efficiently and quickly in the future.
NOTE
: Some software compact discs take control of the hardware volume
controls. If this occurs, adjust the sound before starting the software.
Read the software manufacturer's instructions that accompany the compact disc
before you attempt to use it. Information to look for includes:
■
How much hard disk space will this program require? Do you have
enough disk space?
■
Will you activate the disc from Windows NT or from the system
prompt?
