Loading a CD
To load a CD into a CD-ROM drive:
1. Press the Eject/Load button. The tray slides out of the drive. (Do not
manually force the tray open.)
2. Place the CD in the tray with the label facing up.
3. Close the tray by pressing the Eject/Load button, or by gently pushing
the tray forward. When the tray is closed, the indicator light on the
front of the drive will activate to indicate that the drive is in use.
4. To eject the CD, press the Eject/Load button. When the tray slides out,
carefully remove the disk.
5. Close the tray by pressing the Eject/Load button, or by gently pushing
the tray forward.
Note:
If the tray does not slide out of the drive when you press the
Eject/Load button, insert the pointed end of a large paper clip into
the emergency-eject hole located above and to the left of the
CD-ROM indicator light.
Using Your Zip Drive

help you use a zip drive with your computer.
To access your Zip drive, insert a Zip 100 MB capacity disk into the drive
and select the drive letter assigned to the Zip drive on your computer.
Store and copy files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you
use for other drives on your system.
