Building a machine with ASUS P5WDG2. Have built 4 or 5 ASUS machines over past 10 years. Can't figure out where or how to connect the CDROM. Do I need to add an I/O card for the CD?

My laptop's PCMCIA socket connection is loose and requires you to press hard underneath the laptop to get a connection.
