Loading a CD into a Vertically Positioned Computer
The instructions in this section are for a computer that is placed in a vertical
position on an optional pedestal or floor stand. If your computer is not in the
vertical position, use the instructions in “Loading a CD” on page 21 when using the
CD-ROM drive.
Note: If you place the computer in a vertical position, use a pedestal or floor stand
to prevent damage to the computer due to overheating. An optional floor
stand is available from IBM. Look for more information on the World Wide
Web at:

A CD-ROM drive in a vertically positioned computer is placed on its side. In order
to load a CD into the drive securely, you must use the specific support mechanisms,
such as extendable tabs or a support wire, provided with the drive.
There are several CD-ROM drives available for your computer. They are alike
except for the support mechanisms used to hold the CD in place when it is inserted
into the CD-ROM drive. Use the information on the following pages to identify the
CD-ROM drive in your computer and then use the accompanying instructions for
loading and unloading a CD.
Note: If the tray does not slide out of the drive when you press the Eject/Load
button, insert the pointed end of a large paper clip into the emergency-eject
hole located above and to the left of the CD-ROM indicator light.
� To load a CD into a CD-ROM drive with a support wire:
1. Press the Eject/Load button. The tray slides out of the drive. (Do not
manually force the tray open.)
2. Locate the wire that is installed in the right edge of the tray.
3. Gently flex the wire until you can remove each end from its socket.
4. Locate the two holes near the edge of the tray. (One hole is in the notch on
the inner end of the tray, and the other is in a spring-tab at the outer end.)
