press the large button beside the lock to eject the

Using the Optical read/write drive
- Note - systems built after August 2012 do NOT have
an optical drive. This option was removed. Therefore
this section applies only to those models which
have the optical drive installed.
Directly above the removable HDD is an optical
drive which can read and write many formats of DVD
and CD media. Note that DVD and CD authoring
tools which are standard within the installed Win-
dows operating system are available. No additional
authorizing tools are included as standard.
A standard slimline optical drive, you open it by
pressing the single button on the drive door beside
the LED. Gently press-t a compatible disk onto the
spindle and then close the door.
If your system has Windows 7 operating system
installed, authoring capability for both CD and DVD
media are included with the operating system (Win-
dows XP did not have authoring software for DVD
media included as standard).
Of course, in all cases, you are free to install what-
ever authoring software you prefer. There are some
very nice third party utilities which are superior to the
ones built into Windows.
- Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit mode, was installed
on these models starting in December 2010.
The optical drive is located above the computer access door.
Press the EJECT button to open the optical drive. This optical
drive is no longer included with the DEWE-3210. Please
purchase an external USB optical drive if you require one.
Any Windows7 compatible optical drive with a USB 2.0
interface will work.
