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.
© Lenovo 2008. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.
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.

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.

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

© Lenovo 2008. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.
9
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software
updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will
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.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
v loss of, or damage to, your data;
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
v failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by you;
10 ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Serial ATA Drive User Guide
v any third party products, including those that Lenovo may procure and provide with or integrate into
the Lenovo product at your request; and
v any technical or other support, such as assistance with ″how-to″ questions and those regarding product
set-up and installation.
This warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the product or its parts.
Limitation of Liability
Lenovo is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your product only while it is 1) in your Service
Provider’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases in which the Service Provider is responsible for the
transportation.
Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your data including confidential,
proprietary, or personal data contained in a product. You should remove and/or backup all such
information from the product prior to its service or return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or other liability, you may be
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 and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you,
up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is
required by law to be liable.
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; 2) LOSS OF, OR
DAMAGE TO, YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR
ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS
REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

may request that a Service Provider install some CRUs under one of the other types of warranty service
designated for your product. Installation of external CRUs (such as mice, keyboards, or monitors) is your
responsibility. Lenovo specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether the defective
CRU must be returned. When return is required, 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label,
and a container are included with the replacement CRU, and 2) you may be charged for the replacement
CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt
of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location.
You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product.
For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.
12 ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Serial ATA Drive User Guide
3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service
center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the
product. A shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product to a designated
service center. A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center.
Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated
service center, with delivery or shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your
Service Provider specifies, (prepaid unless specified otherwise) the product suitably packaged to a
designated location. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your
collection. Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it
sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo’s expense, unless your Service
Provider specifies otherwise.
