Hold the laptop in the same orientation as the picture. Then, locate the switch immediately above and to the left of the drive.

Slide the switch to the right. A black plastic tab will pop out.

Pull the plastic tab to expose the CD drive.

If there is a problem with your tab, whether it doesn't pop out or it doesn't expose the CD drive, please check the corresponding entry in the troubleshooting page.
