Inserting and Ejecting CDs or DVDs
Your computer is not equipped with an internal, or built-in, optical disc drive. In order to use any CDs or DVDs, you must
connect an external optical disc drive (supplied with selected models only).
Avoid using adhesive labels to identify your CDs or DVDs. Adhesive labels may damage the optical drive if they come
off while the disc is in the drive.
To insert a disc

see
Using power saving modes.
2. Press the Eject button on the optical drive cover to open the drive tray. The drive tray slides out.
