Insert and
Remove Discs
This section covers:
• Inserting a Disc
• Removing a Disc
• Manually Ejecting a
Disc
If your Notebook power is off,
you will not be able to eject a
disc from the CD or DVD
drive. To remove a disc without
powering up your Notebook,
you must manually eject the
disc from the drive.
Inserting a Disc
To load a disc into the disc drive, complete the
following steps:
1. Press the Eject button located on the front of the drive.
2. Remove a disc from its protective case, holding the disc by
its center hole and outer edge to avoid touching
the surface.
3. Place the disc, label side up (unless it is a double-sided
DVD), into the round area of the tray. Gently press the disc
down onto the center spindle of the tray until the disc snaps
into place.
4. Push the tray back into the drive until the drive locks
into place.
Caution: Improper handling of a CD or DVD can damage the disc
and could potentially damage the drive.
Caution: Before closing the disc tray, ensure that the disc snaps
onto the spindle in the center of the tray. You can damage the
disc and your Notebook if the disc is not seated properly.
