•When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get stuck in the floppy drive when you are inserting or removing it.

CD-ROM drive

Your system comes with a slim-type CD-ROM drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your system. The CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs (CDs) and video CDs.

1Gently push the eject button located on the front panel.

2When the disc tray slides open, insert the CD. Make sure that the label or title side of the disc is facing upward.

Caution! Hold the disc by the edges to avoid leaving smudges or fingerprints.

3 Push the eject button again to close the tray.
