Note: When the CD-ROM drive is in use, you may notice some vibration as
the compact disc spins rapidly. Certain discs can cause the drive to vibrate
because they have heavily inked artwork or a label that creates an imbalance
as the drive spins.

Some vibration is not unusual for a high-speed CD-ROM drive. To minimize
vibration from unbalanced compact discs, do not put labels on your CDs. In
addition, place the computer on a flat, solid surface when using the
CD-ROM drive.
