General safety guidelines  
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.  
Service  
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center.  
Use only a service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.  
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer  
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides  
documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You  
must closely follow all instructions when performing such replacements. The Off state of a power  
indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Always make  
sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source before  
you attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support  
Center.  
Power cords and power adapters  
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.  
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways  
that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.  
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.  
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter  
near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short  
circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause  
gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can  
eventually result in overheating.  
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord  
connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.  
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of  
overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.  
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or  
overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.  
Extension cords and related devices  
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you  
use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power  
strips are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more  
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings.

vii  
 
Plugs and outlets  
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be  
damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.  
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a  
replacement.  
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electrical  
outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded  
outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter  
or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The  
overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for  
more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.  
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the  
equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.  
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully.  
Batteries  
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide  
power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable  
battery pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with  
your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with Lenovo approved  
parts.  
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short  
circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery  
pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.  
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to  
“vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from  
your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a  
replacement from the battery manufacturer.  
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries  
(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk  
of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do  
not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged  
state.  
Heat and product ventilation  
Computers, AC power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when  
batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:  
v Do not leave your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of  
your body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging.  
Your computer, AC power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation.  
Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.  
v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories near flammable  
materials or in explosive environments.  
viii ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Serial ATA Drive User Guide  
 
 
v Ventilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable  
operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,  
carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

If you are using a legacy operating system on your computer, you might need to update some  
components of your operating system to enable the DVD video playback function. The requirements for  
legacy operating systems are as follows:  
v Windows 95, Windows Server® 2000, Windows Server 2003: You must install the latest service pack,  
Internet Explorer® 5, and DirectX®.  
v Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition: You must install the latest  
DirectX.  
v Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2): You must install Internet Explorer 5 and DirectX.  
v Windows 2000: You must install Service Pack 2 or higher, and DirectX.  
v Windows NT: You must install Service Pack 6 along with Internet Explorer 5, DirectX, and a third  
party IDE DMA driver. DirectX is not available in Windows NT due to Microsoft no longer providing  
any official DirectX for Windows NT.  
Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie  
To install WinDVD, go to the Software page of the Software and User Guide CD. Select WinDVD from the  
available software list. Restart your computer after installation.  
After you install the ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Serial ATA Drive and WinDVD, you can view a DVD  
movie. But first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content.  
DVD region codes  
DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into six regions and specific  
content can be viewed only in the appropriate region. For example, content for Region 1 can be viewed  
only in the U.S. and Canada. WinDVD is also region–specific.  
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the  
content packaging.  
Region code

U.S., Canada  
Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan  
Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea  
Latin America, Australia, New Zealand  
Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India  
People’s Republic of China  
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is automatically set and you can  
view the movie. This is the initial setting.  
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to  
change the region code. You can change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.  
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed and can no longer be  
changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content only from that region.  
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the WinDVD user interface.  
The General tab contains this information.

the Software and User Guide CD. If you want to watch a DVD movie on your TV, refer to the online  
information provided with your computer.  
Notes:  
1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality audio and video playback  
obtainable with the available system resources. You can alter the default settings by changing the  
video resolution setting within the Control Panel. Some systems do not have enough resources to  
provide full-quality audio and video playback at all resolution settings. If you experience poor  
playback performance, adjust the resolution to a lower setting.  
2. Audio and video streams are decoded by software. The audio and video subsystems need to be fully  
functional and enabled.  
3. WinDVD does not enable DVD playback feature through Windows Media Player. After installing  
WinDVD, DVD video may play back through Media Player, but audio will not.

Appendix B. Lenovo Limited Warranty  
L505-0010-00 09/2006  
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you purchased for your own  
use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes be referred to as the Statement of Limited  
Warranty(SOLW) in other documents from Lenovo.  
What this Warranty Covers  
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials and workmanship under  
normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date  
of purchase specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty  
period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section  
titled Warranty Information.″  
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER  
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION  
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO  
YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW  
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY  
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON  
HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION  
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty  
service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a Service  
support/phone.  
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges  
may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for  
location-specific information.  
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems  
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution  
procedures specified.  
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or through  
remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software

replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.  
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole  
remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be  
refunded.  
Exchange of a Product or Part  
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item your Service Provider  
replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be  
genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least  
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty status of the replaced  
item.  
Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:  
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;  
2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange; and  
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product that you do not  
own.  
Your Additional Responsibilities  
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:  
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;  
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;  
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access  
to your facilities to permit the terms of this warranty to be fulfilled; and  
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted  
from the product or that, with respect to any remaining Personal Data you did not delete, you are in  
compliance with all applicable laws.  
Use of Personal Information  
If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process information about your  
warranty issue and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail  
address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our  
business relationship with you, such as to conduct internal reviews of the efficiency of the warranty  
service we provide to you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty  
service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we  
may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting  
on our behalf. We also may disclose it where required by law or legal authorities to do so.
