Optical disc drives

The computer may be installed with a DVD Super Multi, BD-Combo or BD- Writer drive. A Serial ATA interface controller is used for optical disc operation. When the computer is accessing a optical disc, an indicator on the drive glows.

For information on loading and unloading discs refer to the Using optical disc drives section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics.
