Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
DVD-ROM or multi-function drive components
Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive may look like this:
Drive-in-use indicator light
Eject button
Manual eject hole
Sample DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
Drive-in-use indicator light—Glows 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.
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 eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
