Using the CD-ROM Drive

Some Ascentia M computers ship from the factory with a
CD-ROM drive included. The CD-ROM drive fits into the
computer’s SmartBay. For information on installing the
CD-ROM drive, see “Using the SmartBay” on page 27.

Compact discs are designed so that you can easily insert one into
the computer when you need it, and then remove it:

1.

Press the button on the CD-ROM drive, and the tray
slides out. (Do not lean on the tray; it does not support
much weight.)

2.

Insert a CD, label side up (or remove a disc, if you have
finished using it).

3.

Push the tray in gently to close the drive tray (Figure 14).

A light on the drive tray is on when the computer is
reading from a CD. Do not remove a disc when this light
is on.

Install and start a CD-based program as you would a program
on a floppy disk. See your operating system documentation for
more information on running programs.
