Removing a Disc Using Emergency Eject

If you need to remove a disc when there is no power to your computer, you can open the media tray manually. To do this, gently insert a slim, straight object, such as a bent-open paper clip, into the emergency eject hole until you feel some resistance. Remove the paper clip and carefully open the tray by hand.

•Connect headphones or external speakers to the audio out jack on the cardbus drive.
