Removing an Optical Disc (Without Power)

If power is unavailable:
1. Insert the end of a paper clip into the release access in the
front bezel of the drive 1.
2. Press gently on the paper clip until the media tray is released,
and then pull out the tray until it is fully extended 2.
3. Remove the disc from the tray by gently pressing down on
the spindle while lifting the outer edges of the disc 3.
(Handle the disc by the edges, not the flat surfaces. If the
media tray is not fully extended, tilt the disc as you remove it.
To protect the disc, place it in a protective case.)
4. Close the media tray.
