Universal AC adaptor

The universal AC adaptor provides power to the system

varies among different models. Using the wrong model can

 

damage your computer. Refer to the Universal AC adaptor

 

section in Chapter 2, The Grand Tour.

It writes CD-R and CD-RW at up to 24 speed. A Mode Control button turns power to the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive on and off so you can use the drive as a stand-alone audio CD player.
