[. . . ] While the Notebook PC's power is ON, press the drive's eject button and the tray will eject out partially. 2. Gently pull on the drive's front panel and slide the tray completely out. Make sure there are no obstructions that may get jammed under the drive's tray. Notebook PC User Manual 55 3. Hold the disc by the edge and face the disc's printed side up. Push down on both sides of the disc's center until the disc snaps onto the hub. The hub should be higher than the disc when correctly mounted. 4. Slowly push the drive's tray back in. When the drive stops, the disc is ready to be used. It is normal to hear as well as feel the CD spinning with great intensity in the CD drive while data is read. 56 Notebook PC User Manual Removing an optical disc Eject the tray and gently pry the edge of the disc upwards at an angle to remove the disc from the hub. Emergency eject The emergency eject is located in a hole on the optical drive and is used to eject the optical drive tray in case the electronic eject does not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject. Ensure not to stab the activity indicator located in the same area. Actual location will vary by model. Notebook PC User Manual 57 Using the Optical Drive Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics involved. Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your CD suppliers. Unlike desktop optical drives, the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the CD in place regardless of the angle. When inserting a CD, it is important that the CD be pressed onto the center hub or else the optical drive tray will scratch the CD. WARNING!If the CD disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the CD can be damaged when the tray is closed. Always watch the CD closely while closing the tray slowly to prevent damage. A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. The BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS accordingly during the POST (PowerOn-Self-Test) process. There is no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is installed. WARNING!Disconnect all the connected peripherals, any telephone or telecommunication lines and power connector (such as external power supply, battery pack, etc. ) before installing or removing a memory. Installing a Memory Card: Removing a Memory Card: 33 (This is only an example. ) (This is only an example. ) Notebook PC User Manual 63 Connections The built-in network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After purchase, network can be installed as an expansion card. Network Connection Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with "duplex" enabled. The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required. 1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models. 64 Notebook PC User Manual Twisted-Pair Cable The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional. ) Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernet controller.
