A.2 Loading a Compact Disk
To load a disk, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power light is on.
2. Insert the disk caddy into the drive, as shown in Figure A–2. Make
sure that the disk label is facing up and that the notches on the left
side of the caddy line up with the notches on the drive door.
3. Slide the caddy in as far as it will go and then remove it. The disk and
its housing remain in the drive.
4. The activity light should go on within 5 seconds.
If the activity light does not go on, the disk may be inserted incorrectly.
Unload the disk and then reload. If you think the disk is loaded
correctly, but the green light does not go on, try loading another disk
into the drive. If the new disk loads successfully, then the original disk
may be defective. Call your Digital customer service engineer.
A.3 Unloading a Compact Disk
Before unloading a disk, check to see that the disk is not transferring data
(activity light is not blinking). Do not unload if the disk is transferring
data. To unload a disk:
1. Position the transparent sleeve by making sure that the arrow on the
sleeve is pointing toward the drive.
2. Insert the sleeve all the way into the drive.
3. Remove the caddy. The disk and caddy will be in the sleeve. The
activity light goes off.
