Operating Basics
Operation is the same for all optical media drives. The full-size drive

can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVD/BDs without an
adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD/BD operation.
When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD/BD, an indicator on the system
glows.
For precautions on writing to CD/DVD/BDs, refer to the Writing CD/DVD/
BDs section.
