You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access
reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music.

computer is turned off. For more information, see "CD/DVD
control buttons" on page 87.
Drive components and control buttons
The DVD-ROM or multifunction drive resides in the Modular
Bay on the bottom-right side of the computer. The CD/DVD
control buttons are located at the front edge of the computer
and can be accessed when the display panel is closed or open.
DVD-ROM drive components
Your DVD-ROM drive may look like this:
Eject button
Manual eject hole
Sample DVD-ROM drive
The eject button requires power to operate. The manual eject
button does not require power.
Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive
Never 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.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil
lead can break off inside the computer and damage it. Instead,
use a slim object such as a straightened paper clip.
