Docking Station & Optical Disc Drive
The system does NOT feature an Optical Disc Drive. The Optical Disc Drive is an optional
accessory that will be required when needing to use any type of CD or DVD. There are
two options avaible for this - Option One will be an External USB DVD Drive, Option Two
will be a Docking Station with a built-in DVD Writer. Both of these are optional accessories
and are available from the system Supplier at an additional cost.
Docking Station
The docking station provides extension to the Input/Output capabilities of the system
Notebook. The notebook clips into the docking station which will then activate the extra
ports and connectors. Please see below for the list of ports. The ODD Drive depends on
the model. Either DVD or Blu-Ray is possible.
