Ejecting a CD or DVD
You may need to unmount the CD before manually ejecting it.
There are three ways to eject a CD:
■ Press the eject button on the front of the CD-ROM drive.
■ Use software commands to eject the CD. Refer to the peripherals handbook that
corresponds with your operating system.
■ If the motorized eject mechanism does not operate, insert a thin, stiff wire (such
as a paper clip) into the hole next to the eject button.
Cleaning a CD or DVD
If your CD-ROM drive cannot read a CD or DVD, the cause may be a dirty CD or
DVD. Follow these guidelines to clean a CD or DVD:
■ Use a soft, clean, lint-free, dry cloth.
■ Clean the unlabeled side of the CD or DVD.
■ Wipe the CD radially from the center to the outside.
■ Use professional cleaning kits.
Caution – Do not use solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, antistatic aerosol
spray, or abrasive cleaners to clean CDs.
Handling and Storing CDs and DVDs
Follow these guidelines when handling and storing CDs:
■ Handle CDs only by their edges; avoid touching CD or DVD surfaces.
■ Write only on the premarked label side of a CD or DVD. Use a soft felt-tip marker.
■ Do not use CDs in high-dust environments.
■ Keep CDs out of direct sunlight, extreme sources of heat or cold, and away from
dust and moisture.
■ Make sure CDs are at room temperature before using them.
■ Store CDs in storage boxes so that they remain clean and free of dust.
