Using a CD-ROM Drive

You may use an optional CD-ROM pack (CF-VCD351) by removing your floppy disk drive from the multimedia pocket. Should you decide to install the CD-ROM pack, it will function as an internal CD-ROM drive. For more information, please read the manual that accompa- nies the CD-ROM pack.

Installing/Removing the Unit

1 Power off your computer ( page 10)

Do not shut down using the suspend or hibernation mode.

CAUTION

Do not install or remove peripherals while your computer is in the suspend or hibernation mode; abnormal operation may result.

Please handle the unit as shown (holding both sides).

 

Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

 

Do not allow dust to enter the multimedia pocket.

CAUTION

You may use the floppy disk drive as an external unit that is connected through the parallel port, by using an optional FDD cable (CF-VCF351). Some precautions are necessary, as described below, since problems may arise.

Do not move the drive while accessing data on the floppy disk.

Firmly hold both sides of the drive when removing a disk. Excessive force on top should be avoided.
