Note: The drive tray design might be different than shown (varies by manufacturer).
1. Press the Eject/Load button.
2. Insert the disc into the tray and make sure it is placed securely behind the vertical mounting tabs 1 .
3. Close the loading tray by pressing the Eject/Load button, or by gently pushing the tray in.

Manually ejecting a disc
If you press the Eject/Load button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the computer. 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 (see “Drive
controls and connectors” on page 1-3). Push the paper clip into the hole until the tray opens. Gently pull
out the tray until you can remove the disc.
