Optical Drive
The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The Note-
book PC’s optical drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital video discs
(DVD) and may have recordable (R) or re-writable (RW) capabilities. See the market-
ing specifications for details on each model.
Optical Drive Electronic Eject
The optical drive eject has an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject the optical
drive tray through any software player or by right clicking the optical drive in Windows “Computer”
and selecting Eject. This eject also functions as the optical drive activity indicator which shows when
data is being transferred by the optical disk drive. This indicator will light in proportion to the data
size transferred.

ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
Flash Memory Slot
Normally an external memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use
memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs.
This Notebook PC has a built-in high-speed memory card reader that can conveniently read
from and write to many flash memory cards as mentioned later in this manual.
Optical Drive Activity Indicator (location varies by model)
The optical drive activity indicator shows when data is being transferred by the optical disk drive.
This indicator will light in proportion to the data size transferred.
