Emergency Eject; Cleaning Media - Dell DP61N User Manual

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 if a power failure occurs.
1. Turn the computer off.
2. 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 firmly.
3. The disc tray is ejected by about 10 mm (0.39 in). Pull the disc tray out.
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.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, paint thinner, record cleaner, solvent or
static repellent. This can damage the disc.
