Removing a disc with the computer off

into the manual eject hole.

Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops
glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not press the eject button while the in-use indicator light is
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for
it to stop spinning before you remove it.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back
(where the ports are located). Doing so could damage the system.
