HP Surestore DVD-ROM Tape Array Module - Manual (Page 19)

Emergency ejection of a CD or DVD disk
If a CD or DVD disk does not eject after pressing the eject button, follow this procedure to
manually eject.
Caution The emergency eject procedure must be done with the drive disconnected from the power
supply. Failure to disconnect the drive from the power supply may pose a hazard to the media
and the drive.
UNIX operating systems will require the CD/DVD filesystem to be unmounted before the disk
can be ejected.
1 Remove the drive as described on page 15. This removes power from the DVD-ROM drive.
Alternatively, make sure that the tape array is not operating on any other device in the array,
and then power down the tape array, as described in the HP Surestore Tape Array 5300
Getting Started Guide.
2 Locate the small emergency eject hole above the disk loading slot. See figure 3 on page 10.
3 Use a straight, metal pin of appropriate diameter, such as a 1/16" (1.59 mm) hex key (Allen
wrench) and insert it in the emergency eject hole.
4 Push the pin firmly with one continuous motion into the hole until the disk is ejected. (Some
mechanical sound and resistance is normal.)
Note If the disk is not within your grasp, carry out step 5 so that the disk is reloaded and then
repeat steps 1 to 5.
5 Replace the drive, as described on page 7.
If you powered down the tape array at step 1 above, power it on again now, as described in
the HP Surestore Tape Array 5300 Getting Started Guide.
