By default, Workstation automatically connects to configured devices when the virtual machine powers on. You can change this behavior if you want; for example, if you are using a laptop that does not always have the CD-ROM connected, you should change this option for the virtual CD-ROM device.
Note: If you disable this option, you will need to enable access to the device manually. To do so, select the device from the "Devices" menu in the virtual machine.
