IBM 7212 102 - Manually Removing a DVD Disc from the Drive

Manually Removing a DVD Disc from the Drive
If a power failure or a DVD-RAM drive failure prevents the DVD disc tray from
ejecting, the disc can be removed manually.
To manually remove the DVD disc:
1. Turn off the power to the 7212 Storage Enclosure.
2. Insert a solid metal rod (such as a paper clip or bristol wrench) into the manual
unload hole until resistance is met, then push to unlatch the DVD disc tray.
(Figure 35 shows the manual unload hole 1 in the DVD-RAM drive. The
metal rod should have a diameter of 2 mm (0.08 in.) or less.
Note: This step may have to be repeated several times.
3. Gently pull out the disc tray and remove the disc.
