Using a CD-ROM drive Some models come with a preinstalled CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) technology offers quick access to large amounts of information. A compact disc can store more than 650 MB of data, such as the large files needed for audio, still and full-motion video, and still and animated graphics. A CD-ROM drive can play back or read from a CD, but it cannot write information to it. CD-ROM drives use industry-standard, 12 cm (4.75-inch) CDs. Follow these guidelines when using a CD-ROM drive: Do not place the drive where there is: - High temperature - High humidity - Excessive dust - Excessive vibration or sudden shock - An inclined surface - Direct sunlight Do not insert any object other than a CD into the drive. Before moving the computer, remove the CD from the drive. The following illustration shows the front bezel of the CD-ROM drive in the tower model.
