Dell Latitude E6330, lower right corner of DVD drive to right of the
drawer opening button and emergency opening hole.

This push in/push out drawer comes out about half an inch. Nothing
inside it, doesn't seem to do anything, no reference to it in owner's
manual or on Dell support site.

So what is it?

It is the latch to release the DVD drive from the computer according
to the online manual

Curious where and in what manual you found that. I re-read what I saw on
the Dell website several times and didn't see anything!

It's on a need-to-know basis. If your drive were to break, you'd get
an email.
