CD-ROM Tray

A tray is a thin plastic disc holder that allows a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc to be inserted into the computer. The first picture is an example of what the traditional CD-ROM tray looks like in a desktop computer. To eject this tray from the CD-ROM drive, press the eject button on the front of the CD-ROM drive. To put the tray back into the drive, push the front of the CD-ROM tray and it automatically go back into the CD-ROM drive.

The bottom image shows an example of a laptop CD-ROM drive tray. Unlike the desktop CD-ROM tray, this tray is a lot more flimsy because it's thinner and is missing the right portion of the tray. Like the desktop CD-ROM tray, press the eject button to eject the tray and then push the tray back in to insert the tray back into the drive.

Missing disc drive tray

Not all desktop computers and laptop computers have disc drives. Check the owner's manual for your computer if you are unsure if it contains a disc drive.

For desktop computers that have an available drive bay, a disc drive can be installed into the computer. For laptop users who do not have a disc drive, you can get an external USB disc drive if you want to add a disc drive to your computer.
