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. 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.  
© Lenovo 2006. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.  
 
vii  
 
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.  
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 ThinkPad 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  
viii ThinkPad Super Multi-Burner Ultrabay Slim Drive: User’s Guide  
 
 
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 generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.  
Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size.  
Always follow these basic precautions:  
v Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of  
your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when  
the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during normal  
operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially,  
a skin burn.  
v Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or  
in explosive environments.  
v Ventilation slots, fans and/or 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.  
CD and DVD drive safety  
CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or  
otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even  
shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to this  
situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:  
v Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging  
v Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat  
sources  
v Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use  
v Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their  
packaging  
v Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or  
damaged discs

Multimedia Center for Think Offerings  
Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is disc mastering software that allows  
you to create your own music or data discs from files on your computer, or from  
other disc media such as CDs or DVDs. Music discs created with Multimedia  
Center for Think Offerings will play on any CD player, whether it’s at home, in  
your car, or through your computer’s CD-ROM. Multimedia Center for Think  
Offerings also makes it easy to create data discs that can be read on any  
appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.  
Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the documentation  
that accompanied your drive for information on supported media.  
Multimedia Center for Think Offerings guides you, step-by-step, through the  
recording process with simple Wizards and an intuitive user-interface.  
Using Multimedia Center for Think Offerings you can create:  
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate of  
your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to your  
CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.  
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive – The Make a Data Disc feature  
is used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside  
on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs are used to  
store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be played on  
your home or car stereo—even if audio files are on the disc.  
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing music  
discs – The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs from files  
on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music database  
feature can automatically tag your files with track information to help you  
sort through your collection.  
Note: Please reference the Multimedia Center for Think Offerings On-line Help,  
for more information on how to Make an Exact copy, Create a Data Disc,  
or to Create an Audio disc with Multimedia Center for Think Offerings.

select one of the sample images. When your movie is ready, proceed to “Make  
Movie” where you can select the output format and video standard used in  
creating your movie. Burn your movie to disc or save it to the hard disk for  
burning later. If you use WinDVD Creator to create a DVD image on your hard  
disk, you can select “Load Image to Burn” from the Project menu.  
WinDVD Creator also offers the capability to record video directly to DVD  
recordable media using “Disk Manager.” This is done without using any additional  
space on your hard disk. With Disk Manager, you can capture new video or use  
video files you already have, and then finish your movie by creating a customized  
menu. Your movie can be created in either +VR or –VR video formats. Through  
Disk Manager, you can edit your movie at any time, adding or deleting video

To install WinDVD, go to the Softwaresection of the Software and User’s Guide  
Super CD.  
After you install the Super Multi-burner drive and WinDVD software, you can  
view a DVD movie. Before viewing, you need to set the DVD region code and you  
may need to enable DMA.  
Operating system support  
The prerequisites for WinDVD to work are IDE DMA, Internet Explorer 5 and  
DirectX 8.1. These components are not present in all Microsoft Operating systems.  
This section lists steps required to update the different operating systems to allow  
DVD playback.  
1. Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2000, Windows 95: You must install the  
latest service pack, Internet Explorer 5 and DirectX.  
2. Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me: You must install  
DirectX.  
3. Windows 95 OSR2: You must install Internet Explorer 5 and DirectX.  
10 ThinkPad Super Multi-Burner Ultrabay Slim Drive: User’s Guide  
 
 
4. Windows 2000: You must install service pack 2 or higher, and DirectX.  
5. Windows NT: You must install Service Pack 6 along with Internet Explorer 5,  
DirectX, and a third party IDE DMA driver. This configuration is not supported  
due to Microsoft not providing any official DirectX for Windows NT.  
Note: You can check which version of Windows 95 you are using by following  
these steps:  
1. Click Start, move the cursor to Settings, and then click Control Panel.  
2. Double-click System. Read the numbers under System. v 4.00.950B″  
means that your version is Windows 95 OSR2.0 or OSR2.1. v 4.00.950C″  
means that your version is Windows 95 OSR2.  
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.

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.  
To change the region code, do the following:  
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.  
2. Insert a single region DVD of the new region.  
3. Select the region. Click OK when the Confirm Region screen appears.

Appendix A. Troubleshooting  
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The  
information in this section might be useful to help you solve problems or to gather  
helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to  
refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter publications.  
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your  
situation.  
You cannot create a multi-session disc.  
Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing a  
session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data  
that is recorded.  
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or  
DVD-RAM disc.  
Take the following actions:  
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus  
program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software. Disable the  
functions that might interrupt the write operation.  
2. Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.  
3. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive  
is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation.  
4. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.  
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and  
CD-RW drives.  
You cannot eject a CD or DVD disc.  
Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of  
writing to a disc:  
1. Eject the CD through software.  
2. Use the Eject button.  
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try  
using the Eject button again.  
4. If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole, using instructions  
given on page2.  
You cannot read from the CD or DVD disc after successfully writing to it.  
Take the following actions:  
1. If you can read the CD or DVD Disc in another CD or DVD player or you can  
see previous sessions, the directory information might be damaged on the  
volume, making it unreadable. To get ideas for troubleshooting, check the  
documentation that comes with the software.  
2. You might have a damaged CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM  
disc. Try a new disc or another brand of CD or DVD disc.

Appendix D. Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty  
LSOLW-00 05/2005  
Part 1 - General Terms  
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -  
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or  
modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by Lenovo Group Limited or one of its  
subsidiaries (called Lenovo) in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to  
Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term “Machine” means a  
Lenovo machine, its options, features, conversions, upgrades or peripheral products, or any  
combination of them. The term “Machine” does not include any software programs,  
whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Nothing in this  
Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that  
cannot be waived or limited by contract.  
What this Warranty Covers  
Lenovo warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and  
workmanship and 2) conforms to Lenovo’s Official Published Specifications  
(“Specifications”) which are available on request. The warranty period for the  
Machine starts on the original date of installation and is specified in Part 3 -  
Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the date of  
installation unless Lenovo or your reseller informs you otherwise. Unless Lenovo  
specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country or region in which  
you purchased the Machine.  
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE  
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 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 MAY NOT  
APPLY TO YOU.  
What this Warranty Does not Cover  
This warranty does not cover the following:  
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or  
installed subsequently;  
v failure resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or  
operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;  
v failure caused by a product for which Lenovo is not responsible; and  
v any non-Lenovo products, including those that Lenovo may procure and provide  
with or integrate into a Lenovo Machine at your request.  
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the  
Machine or its parts.  
© Lenovo 2006. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.  
 
23  
 
Lenovo does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.  
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as  
assistance with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and  
installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
Warranty service may be provided by Lenovo, IBM, your reseller if authorized to  
perform warranty service, or an authorized warranty service provider. Each of  
them is referred to as a “Service Provider.”  
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact  
a Service Provider. If you do not register the Machine with Lenovo, you may be  
required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your entitlement to warranty  
service.  
What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems  
When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem  
determination and resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis of  
your problem can be made either by a technician over the telephone or  
electronically by access to a support website.  
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 -  
Warranty Information.  
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software updates  
from a support web site or from other electronic media, and following the  
instructions that your Service Provider provides. Software updates may include  
basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device drivers,  
and other software updates.  
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) (e.g.,  
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service Provider will  
ship the CRU to you for you to install.  
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and  
your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your  
application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider, will either,  
at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with  
one that is at least functionally equivalent. If your Service Provider is unable to do  
either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will  
be refunded.  
As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also install selected  
engineering changes that apply to the Machine.  
Exchange of a Machine or Part  
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item  
your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement  
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are 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 service status of the replaced item.  
24 ThinkPad Super Multi-Burner Ultrabay Slim Drive: User’s Guide  
 
Your Additional Responsibilities  
Before your Service Provider exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all  
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.  
You also agree to:  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that  
prevent its exchange;  
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a  
Machine that you do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided:  
a. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider provides;  
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine;  
and  
c. provide your Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to your  
facilities to permit Lenovo to fulfill its obligations.  
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal  
Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow  
your Service Provider or a supplier to process on your behalf any remaining  
Personal Data as your Service Provider considers necessary to fulfill its  
obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include  
shipping the Machine for such processing to other service locations around the  
world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws applicable  
to such Personal Data.  
Limitation of Liability  
Lenovo is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in  
your Service Provider’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where Lenovo is  
responsible for the transportation charges.  
Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider are responsible for any of your  
confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which  
you return for any reason. You should remove all such information from the  
Machine prior to its return.  
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or other  
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance,  
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from Lenovo  
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or  
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable  
laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and  
tangible personal property for which Lenovo is legally liable; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges for the  
Machine that is subject of the claim.  
This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers and your Service Provider. It  
is the maximum for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service  
Provider are collectively responsible.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS, RESELLERS OR  
SERVICE PROVIDERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF  
INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST  
YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM  
LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL,  
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4) LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE,
