1-6 Reviewing System Features
CD-ROM Drive
Some systems come with a 32X Max variable CD-ROM
drive. Use the CD-ROM drive to load and start programs
from a compact disc (CD). You can also use the CD-ROM
drive to play audio CDs.
Note:
You can boot the system from the
CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD. To enable
the system to boot from the CD-ROM drive, see
“Boot Menu” in Chapter 4.
The CD-ROM drive operates at different speeds depending
on whether the CD you are using contains data or music. This
allows you to get your data faster and to see smoother
animation and video.
Rear Features
On the back of the computer, you can find external
connectors, power supply features, and expansion board slots.
