The optical disc drive is located on the side of the computer.
Your optical disc drive may look like this:
Drive in-use indicator light
Eject button
Manual eject hole
(Sample Illustration) Optical disc drive
Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use.
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray.
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.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came
with your computer.
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.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
If your computer comes with a solid state drive (SSD) (available on certain
models), under certain unusual conditions of prolonged non-use and/or
exposure to high temperatures, your SSD may be vulnerable to data
retention errors.
