CD-ROM Drive
NEC Express5800/ft series has a CD-ROM drive on the front panel. It is a device used to read data
from a CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory). Compared to a floppy disk, a CD-ROM allows
for larger volume and fast data readout.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions to use the server safely. There are risks of a
burn, injury, or damage to physical assets. For details, see PRECAUTIONS
FOR SAFETY in Chapter 1.
Do not leave the CD tray ejected.
