Right Component Descriptions
The following describes the components on the right side of the Notebook PC as shown by the
illustration above.
CD-ROM Drive
The Notebook PC comes in a 24X CD-ROM drive model or a 4X DVD-ROM model (the DVD’s
CD-ROM speed is also 24X). The drives can be easily removed by the user to allow swapping with
other drives.
CD-ROM Activity LED
The activity LED blinks proportionally to the CD-ROM drive activity and also blinks when elec-
tronically ejecting a CD.
CD-ROM Eject/Emergency Eject
The CD-ROM eject is an electronic eject button for opening the CD-ROM tray. You can also eject
the CD through the software CD player or by right clicking the CD drive in “My Computer.” The
CD-ROM emergency eject is used to eject a CD in case the electronic eject does not work. Do not
use this in place of the electronic eject.
Floppy Disk Drive and Eject
This is a standard 1.44MB floppy disk drive with Japanese 3-mode floppy support. Floppy disk
activity should be seen through the activity LED next to the power button. Unlike desktop PC
floppy disk drives, the eject button of the Notebook PC is on top of the opening to allow easy floppy
ejection from the top.
WARNING! The floppy disk drive’s eject button protrudes out of the Notebook PC when a
floppy disk is fully inserted and can be easily damaged if struck. Eject the floppy
disk before transporting the Notebook PC.
