Using the optical drive
Inserting an optical disc
To insert an optical disc into the drive:

The drive will not open if the computer’s power is off.
2 Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.
3 Press the drive’s eject button.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
4 Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.
