Apple PowerBook G3 - Manual (Page 19)

Using a CD in the CD-ROM drive
You insert or remove the CD-ROM drive in the same way as any other module.
Inserting a disc
To load a compact disc in the drive, follow these steps:
1 Start up the PowerBook, if it’s not already on.
2 Press the Open button on the outside of the CD-ROM module to open its tray.
The tray opens part way.
(If the tray doesn’t open, a disc may already be in the drive. Drag its icon to the
Trash to open the tray. You’ll see a message if the disc is in use; in that case,
quit the program in use or close the disc’s window if no program is in use.)
3 Pull the tray all the way open and place a CD-ROM disc in the tray, with the label facing up.
Make sure the disc is lying flat in the tray and is seated firmly on the spindle.
Avoid touching the drive’s lens.
Insert the disc,
label side up.
