Drives are very sensitive to unacceptable vibrations. During operation, vibrations can

 

 

result in a loss of data or damage to the drive or a data medium.

 

 

If you wish to ship the device, wait until the drive has come to rest after you turn off

 

 

the device. (Approximately 20 s.)

 

 

 

3.5.4CD-ROM drive or CD RW/DVD drive (depending on unit equipment)

The computing unit contains a CD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD drive, depending on the unit version. The installation depth of the computing unit is increased by 21 mm as a result of its installation.

Operation

After pressing the Open/Close button, the CD/DVD tray is extended following a short delay. Insert the CD/DVD in the tray with the inscription side up. The CD/DVD tray is automatically retracted after either pushing the tray lightly or pressing the Open/Close button.

Press the Eject button to extend the CD tray. The CD/DVD can then be removed.

Emergency eject

When the unit is switched off, the CD/DVD can be ejected by inserting a pinted object (e.g. straightened paper clip) in the relevant opening provided.

Notice

After the tray has been closed, the CD is tested and the access LED on the drive starts to flash:

If the LED flashes continually, the CD/DVD is faulty but can still be read.

If the LED flashes several times and then remains on, the CD/DVD inserted is defective and cannot be read.

The access light is normally on when reading information from the CD/DVD.
