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 figure below. The straightened end must extend at least 45 mm
(1.8 inch). 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.
