    If you mean the optical drive, depress the Eject button on the touch strip - top right of the system (above the keyboard).

    you can also open up the 'Computer' link in the start menu and right click on the optical drive and select Eject from the context menu.

    Keep in mind, the optical drive used in the 17x is a slot load drive. Meaning, its not going to open up - a tray is not going to slide out.
