Using Your Server 25
Using Your Optical Drive
You can install or run software from CDs using your optical drive. You can play multimedia on
CD discs and music from audio CDs. Your optical drive can also write music, documents, and
other digital files on CD-R and CD-RW discs. If you have a Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
or a SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW ), you can also play DVD movies and use most DVD discs.
SuperDrives can also record information on blank DVD-R (recordable DVD) discs.
Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software
manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD or purchase an external USB
floppy disk drive for your Macintosh Server G4 from your Apple dealer or the Apple Store
(www.apple.com/store).
Inserting a Disc
To install or use programs from a CD or DVD, follow these steps:
1 With the server turned on, press the Media Eject (C) key on your Apple Pro Keyboard to
open the drive.
2 Place a disc in the tray, with the label facing up, and make sure the disc is lying flat.
3 Press the Media Eject (C) key again or gently push the tray in to close it.
When the icon for the disc appears on the screen, the disc is ready to use.
Ejecting a Disc
You can eject a disc by dragging the disc icon to the Trash, or by pressing the Media Eject (C)
key on your Apple Pro Keyboard. When a second optical drive is installed, you can eject a disc
from it by pressing the Option key and the Media Eject (
C) key. You can also eject a disc by
holding down the mouse button while restarting your server.
Adjusting the Sound Volume
To adjust the sound volume, repeatedly press the volume keys (-, –) on your keyboard.
You can also adjust speaker volume and balance from your server by choosing System
Preferences from the Apple (K) menu and clicking Sound.
Note: If you do not want the internal speaker to output sound when you attach Apple Pro
speakers, headphones, or other audio devices to your server, choose System Preferences
from the Apple (K) menu and click Sound.
