Optical Drive

An optical drive is a type of drive that uses laser light to read from and store data on optical discs. Optical discs are commonly used to read, store, transfer or share data, especially for media-rich content. Typically, your optical drive should be able to access most common optical discs such as CDs and DVDs. The optical drive that comes with your notebook depends on the notebook configurations you purchase.

•Release Button (A) - ejects the disc tray. Press this button when power is on to insert a CD into or remove a CD from the drive.

•Emergency Eject Hole (B) - allows you to manually remove a disc from the CD-ROM drive if the eject function is disabled by software or a power failure occurs. To remove a disc, insert the end of a paper clip into the eject hole, and push in until you hear a click. Manually open the drawer.
