well as install applications and access data in either of the following ways:
● Connect an external optical drive (purchased separately) to one of the USB ports on your
computer.
NOTE: For additional information on external optical drives, refer to Using external drives
on page 62 .
NOTE: Select computer models ship with an external optical drive.
● Share the optical drive that is connected to another computer on your network.
NOTE: You must have a network set up in order to share an optical drive. For additional
information on sharing optical drives, refer to Sharing optical drives on page 64 .
NOTE: Some discs, such as DVD movies and game discs, may be copy-protected and therefore
unusable through DVD or CD sharing.
