COM3. You can change this by using Setup to change the addresses and interrupts used by
the built-in ports (see page 71 for more details).
To use your modem with your communications program, you just need to tell the program
that the modem is on COM3. Some older applications ask for a modem file; in this case, you
should get a newer version of the application that uses the Windows settings.
Using a Network Card{ XE "Network card" }{ XE

Your computer may have the SMC 10/100BaseT Ethernet network adapter installed; if so,
you’ll see a single Ethernet 10BaseT (RJ-11) connector in one of the option slots on the
back panel, connect the cable from your network here.
Using the CD-ROM Drive{ XE "CD-ROM drive" }
A CD-ROM (Compact Disc, Read Only Memory) disk can store up to 74 minutes of music
or 650MB of computer data and is read-only – you cannot change the data on the disk.
When your computer was set up in the factory, the CD-ROM drive is drive D.
To start (boot) the computer from a bootable disk in the CD-ROM drive, you need to check
the BIOS Features menu in Setup (see page 64 for more details). When you boot from a
CD, it becomes drive A, and the diskette drive B.
To insert a CD-ROM disk, the computer needs to be turned on. Press the load/eject button
on the front of the drive and the tray should open. Place the disk in the center of the tray,
then press the load/eject button again to close the drive. You will hear the drive start, but
wait about 10 seconds before trying to access the disk.
If you insert an audio CD, Windows will automatically detect it and start to play it. If you
insert a data CD, depending on how the disk was created, Windows may automatically start
the Setup program on the disk; if it doesn’t, check with the application user guide for
information on installing and using the application.
To remove a disk, the best way is to use Windows as this ensures that any applications using
the disk are stopped first. In the Control Panel , right-click on the drive icon, then select Eject.
If the disk is being used by a program, the drawer will not open until the program stops
using it.
To remove the disk manually first check that the light on the front of the drive is off, then
press the load/eject button on the front of the drive. The disk stops spinning, then the
drawer opens. If the disk is being used by a program, the drawer will not open until the
program stops using it.
