Using the CD-ROM Drive
Compact Disc Drives are designed so that you can easily insert one into the
computer when you need it, and then remove it. See ”Using the Flex-Bay” on
page 33 for information on installing the CD-ROM drive into the Flex-Bay type
computer.
1. Press the button on the CD-ROM drive, and the tray slides out. (Do not lean on
the tray; it does not support much weight.)

AUTION
:
If the tray fails to slide out it may be stuck, in which you can use the
emergency eject button to open the CD-ROM. Turn the computer’s power
off. Straighten out a paper clip (or some other similar object), insert it into
the small hole in the front of the CD-ROM to press the button. The CD-ROM
should eject.
2. Insert a CD (compact disc), label side up (or remove a disc, if you have
finished using it).
3. Push the tray in gently to close the drive tray (Figure 13).
A light on the drive tray is on when the computer is reading from a CD. Do not
remove a disc when this light is on.
