CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions
CAUTION: Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only. Always be sure a CD-ROM disc
is either in the CD-ROM drive or its protective case when not in use. This will
lessen the chance of exposing the disc surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces
the reliability of the read head in the CD-ROM drive.
Caring for CD-ROM Discs
Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the
life of your CD-ROM discs and drive:
• Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from
scratching disc surfaces.
• Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat
damage.
• Don’t try to clean the surface of a CD-ROM disc with cleaning solvents,
as some cleaning solvents may damage the disc.
NOTE: You must mount the disc after loading it into the drive. Refer to the section
“Mounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc,” later in this chapter, for
instructions about mounting a disc.
