Using the DVD-ROM / CD-ROM Drive
Depending on the model you purchased, your computer is equipped with a DVD-
ROM or a CD-ROM drive.

Place a DVD- / CD-ROM disc in the tray with the label side facing up. For DVD
discs, which can be played on both sides, the side of the disc facing up is the side
that plays. Push the disc onto the hub until the disc clicks into place.

Close the tray by pushing it gently.

Be sure to seat the disc firmly over
the disc drive hub fingers. If you do
not seat the disc firmly, you could

not be able to open the tray.
When you finish using a disc, wait
until the LED indicator turns off and

If the disc does not come out when
you press the Eject button, turn off
the computer and insert a thin,
pointed object into the manual eject
