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

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.
