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.

To insert an optical disc into the drive:

Make sure the computer is turned on.

The drive will not open if the computer’s power is off.

Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.

Press the drive’s eject button.

The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).

Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.

Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of dust.

If the disc is dusty, clean it.

Place the disc carefully in the disc tray, label side up.

Gently press the disc onto the center spindle until it clicks into 
place.

Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only with the center 
hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack 
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.

Make sure the disc is completely on the spindle and is lying flat 
on the tray.
