Chapter Four - Data Storage

Removing the CD-ROM Drive

The CD-ROM drive is removable and swappable with other modules to give you

versatility while minimizing weight and size. To remove the CD-ROM drive:

1. Save your work and turn off the computer.

2. Turn the TREK 2 over so that the rear ports are facing you.

3. Slide the CD-ROM release latch, holding it in place.

4. Pull on the CD-ROM finger grip to slide the CD-ROM module out of the bay.

Installing the CD-ROM Drive

To insert the CD-ROM module, slide the module into the drive bay so that it mates

with its connector. You will hear the release latch click shut.

Loading a Disc

To play a CD disc, follow the instructions listed below.

1. Push the CD-ROM Eject button on the CD drive door, found on the front of the

computer. Gently pull the tray all the way out.

2. Carefully lift the CD-ROM by the edges and make sure the shiny surface is

face down (the side with no writing on it).

3. Carefully insert the CD-ROM onto the tray. Push the CD-ROM down gently so

that it snaps onto the center ring. Push the tray back into the drive.

Removing a Disc

To remove a CD-ROM, do the following:

1. Check the LED display and make sure that the computer is not accessing the

CD-ROM drive.

2. Push the Eject button and pull the tray all the way out.

3. Carefully pick up the CD by the edges and – while pressing down on the center

ring – remove the CD-ROM from the tray. Push the tray into the computer until

it closes.

OTE

Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. When not in use, keep the tray

closed to prevent dust or dirt from entering the drive unit. If you experience

difficulty when ejecting the CD disk tray, stretch a paper clip (or use a pin or a thin

metal rod) and insert it into the emergency eject hole located on the right side of

the front panel. The CD disk tray should eject immediately. This procedure can

also be used to remove a CD from the drive when the

TREK 2

is powered off.

Reading CDs

The CD-ROM drive is designated drive D by default. However, it’s treated as a

low-priority device by the system. For example, if you have other drives installed,

they take precedence over the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM will always surrender to

the designated next priority drive.
