To remove a compact disc (CD or DVD) with the computer turned on:

1Press the eject button on the drive.

Do not press the eject button while the in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.

Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for it to stop spinning before you remove it.

2Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and place it in its protective cover.

3Gently push the tray in to close it.

The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).

Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.

2Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and place it in its protective cover.

3Gently push the tray in to close it.

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back (where the ports are located). Doing so could damage the system.
