Using the emergency eject pinhole
The emergency eject pinhole on the front of the drive allows you to
manually eject the drive tray and remove a disc from the drive in the
following instances:
• supply of power to the computer is cut due to electrical power outage
• the drive malfunctions
2. Carefully pull the tray out and remove the disc.
Follow these steps to eject the drive tray using the emergency pinhole.
1. Insert the eject pin that came with the drive package. You can also use
a paper clip or any pointed rod small enough to fit into the emergency
pinhole.
Use the manual method only as a last resort when the eject button does not
work. Make sure that you have turned off your optical drive before ejecting the
drive tray. Locate the power switch button on the rear panel to turn off the drive.
Do not force the tray open; wait until the eject pin has dislodged the tray to
avoid breaking the tray panel.
