Disc Tray
The disc tray opens automatically when you press the eject button. When you place a disc in the tray, make sure that the label on the disc is facing outwards. If you are not loading or unloading a disc, the tray should remain closed.
Eject Hole
If the disc tray does not open when you press the eject button, power off the computer, insert a pin or unfolded paper clip in the hole and push firmly. Refer to Emergency Eject instructions below.
Indicator Light
The light blinks when there is drive activity.
Eject Button
Press this button to open the disc tray. This button works only when power is supplied to the drive.
The position of these features may depend on the specific drive.
Drive Operation:
Inserting a Disc
Press the eject button. The disc tray will be ejected.
Place the disc in the center of the tray with the label side facing up.
Push the eject button to close tray.
Using the HH Drive Installed Vertically
To insert a disc in a drive that is mounted vertically, perform the following steps:
Locate disc holders (4 locations) on disc tray.
Position the disc behind disc holders.
Close the drive by gently pushing in the tray or pressing the eject button.
CAUTION: Only 12 cm discs can be used when the drive is installed vertically. Do not place 8 cm discs in the tray when using the drive installed in this way.
Removing a Disc
Press the eject button. The disc tray will be ejected.
Remove the disc.
Push the button in order to close tray.
NOTE: During some drive activities, the drive will not allow the tray to open even when the eject button is pressed.
Usage Guidelines
Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
Do not place objects on the disc tray.
Never use a damaged, broken, scratched or deformed disc.
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the drive.
NOTE : High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.
Emergency Eject
The procedure described below can be used to remove a disc from the drive if the eject button is disabled by software or a power failure occurs.
Turn the computer off.
Insert a small diameter rod or a stiff wire (a straightened paper clip about 1.2 mm [0.047 in] in diameter) into the emergency eject hole and push hard.
The disc tray is ejected by about 10 mm (0.39 in). Pull it all the way open by hand.
NOTE :
Do not insert more than 50 mm (1.9 in) in depth. Inserting more than 50 mm (1.9 in) may damage the drive.
Cleaning Media
If dust or fingerprints get on the disc, wipe it with a soft cloth from the center to the edge.
Do not use benzene, paint thinner, record cleaner, solvent or static repellent. This can damage the disc.
Cleaning the Drive
Cleaning the inside of the drive is not recommended.
