Loading a disc

1. Press the Eject button. The tray slides out of the drive.
2. Place a disc in the tray with the label facing up.
3. Close the tray by gently pushing the tray in until it latches.

Securing a disc in a vertically mounted drive

The drive has four retainers molded into the loading tray for vertical mounting
operation. To insert a disc, place it in the lower two retainers before closing the
tray. To remove a disc, open the tray and lift the disc from the two lower retainers.

Manually ejecting a disc

If you press the Eject button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the computer
and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool, as shown in the illustration. The
straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into
the manual-eject hole on the front of the drive. Push the paper clip until the tray
opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.
