I believe you need a carrier for the CD-ROM. That is the item actually
called the "caddy". The label on the door is telling you where to insert
the caddy containing the CD-ROM. It looks like an over-sized, see-through
3.5 floppy. My external AppleCD 300 (Family Number: M3023) has the same
door and the same drop-in-the-computer look you describe.
