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.
