Dell performs the installation and setup on any CD-ROM drive
that is shipped as part of a system, including loading the appropriate device
drivers when the operating system is installed. The drive is ready for use when
you receive your system. No further installation or configuration is necessary.

Procedure:
Install the CD-RW drive.
