Inserting a CD Into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive
1. After the system is powered on, push the eject button on the CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM drive to open the drive tray.
2. Place the CD (label side up) into the drive tray.
Ensure that the CD is properly set into the recessed area of the drive tray.

Ejecting a CD From the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive
To eject a CD, press the eject button on the front of the drive.
It may be necessary to unmount the CD before manually ejecting it. The CD can also
be ejected by using software commands. Refer to the peripherals handbook that
corresponds with your operating environment.
If the motorized eject mechanism does not operate, insert a thin, stiff wire (such as a
paper clip) into the hole next to the eject button to manually eject the CD.
A.4.3.3
Cleaning the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive
If the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive cannot read a CD, the cause might be a dirty
CD. Follow these guidelines to clean a CD:
Caution – Do not use solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, antistatic aerosol
spray, or abrasive cleaners to clean CDs.
Use a professional CD cleaning kit.
Use a soft, clean, lint-free, dry cloth.
Clean the non-labeled side of the CD.
Wipe the CD radially from the center to the outside.
