Eject button

When a diskette is fully seated in the drive, the
eject button pops out. To remove a diskette, push
in the eject button and the diskette pops out
partially for easy removal.

Check the disk-in-use indicator when you use the diskette drive. Do not
press the eject button or turn off the computer while the light is glowing.
Doing so could destroy data and damage the diskette or the drive.

A full-size DVD-ROM drive module lets you run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm
(3.15") digital video disk/compact disk without using an adaptor. The drive is
configured as Regional Playback Control 2 (RPC2). The computer is
configured with either a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive.
