If you have a DVD-ROM drive, it may look like this:
Sample DVD-ROM drive
CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the computer
while the drive-in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could
damage the disc or the drive.
The eject button requires power to operate. The manual eject
button does not require power.
CAUTION: Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button.
Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
Instead, use a slim object such as a straightened paper clip.
HINT: When the computer is off and the DVD-ROM drive is on,
press the stop/eject control button on the top of the computer to
eject a disc.
