1.Switch off the drive and unplug the interface cable.
2.Insert a small metal poker, such as an unbent paper clip, into the emergency eject hole (see Fig. 10) until the poker presses against the manual eject mechanism. You will feel the mecha- nism eject the disc tray.
Only use this method if the Open/Close button is not working.
CAUTION: Make sure the drive is off and the power unplugged before attempting the emergency ejection procedure.
