situations, depending on the SCSI command.

open it manually.

You should attempt to eject a disc manually only as a last resort.
Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.
1 Power down the computer.
2 Find a pin-like tool with a diameter of 2mm or less to fit through the
Manual Eject hole on the drive’s front panel.
n A straightened large paper clip is ideal for this purpose.
3 Push the tool gently into the Manual Eject hole until the spring-
loaded mechanism ejects the tray and disc.
