Learning the Basics
Using the optical drive
Optical drive components
The optical drive is located on the side of the computer. 
Your optical drive may look like this:
(Sample Illustration) Optical drive
Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use. 
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray. 
Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive 
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or 
the drive. 
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the 
area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
Manual eject hole—Use if you need to release the disc tray when 
the power is off. Use a straightened paper clip or other narrow 
object to press the manual eject button located inside the hole.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can 
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Media control buttons
(Available on certain models)
The media control buttons located on the system control panel 
above the keyboard let you mute the sound and play audio CDs or 
DVD movies when the computer is on.
