Restored iMac

I restored a 2011 iMac to factory settings after copying my data to a new iMac. I've re-installed OS-X from the original disc, but I want to donate this computer, not use it, so I don't want to set up an account on it. How do I eject the disc that's still in the iMac?

Start the computer while holding down the eject button and the disc should eject.

Worked perfectly! Thank you. I didn't realize there even was an eject button. Never used it!
