Mouse
The system ships with a PS/2-compatible mouse as standard equipment. The mouse has a

The six-pin mouse cable connector plugs into the back of the system. Mouse specifications are
given in Section 9, “Specification s.”

Some systems come with a 40X or higher CD-ROM drive. The drive features up to 40-speed or
higher technology, affording faster data transfer and smoother animation and video. The CD-
ROM drive comes with an Enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface. The drive is fully compatible with
Kodak Multisession Photo CDs™, CD-I, FMV, and CD Plus, as well as standard CDs. The CD-
ROM drive can also play audio CDs (for systems with sound capabilities).
An IDE cable connects the CD-ROM drive to the secondary IDE channel on the system board.

CD-ROM jumper settings are included in Section 2, “System Configuration.” Specifications for
the CD-ROM drive are given in Section 9, “System Specifications.”

improvements over the standard CD-ROM, including superior video and audio playback, faster
data access, and greater storage capabilities.

Some systems come with an 8x4x32x (8x record, 4x rewrite, 32x read) compact disk-
ReWritable (CD-RW) drive. Use the drive to record data on a CD-RW disc, just like you would
