NOTE
Optical drive components
The optical drive is located on the side of the computer.

(Sample Illustration) Optical drive
Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use.
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray.
Manual eject hole—Use if you need to release the disc tray when
the power is off. Use a straightened paper clip or other narrow
object to press the manual eject button located inside the hole.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came
with your computer.
Do not 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.
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the
area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
