System Features
NOTES: Your computer was shipped with a diskette drive in the media bay. For information on removing the diskette drive and installing a different
device in the bay, see "Using the Media Bay" in Chapter 2 of the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide.
Because the Microsoft Windows NT
®
operating system does not support
DVD
technology, the DVD-ROM drive is available only on computers that use
the Windows
®
98 Second Edition operating system.
NOTES: Windows NT does not support USB functions.
If you attach a USB device that was not included in your original system configuration, you may need to install a specific driver for that device to
obtain its full functionality. Contact the USB device manufacturer for more information.
