Laser compliance statement

Some IBM Personal Computer models are equipped from the factory with a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives are also sold separately as options. CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives are laser products. These drives are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services 21 Code of Federal Regulations (DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class 1 laser products. Elsewhere, these drives are certified to conform to the requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 825 and CENELEC EN 60 825 for Class 1 laser products.

When a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive is installed, note the following handling instructions.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Removing the covers of the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. Do not remove the drive covers.

Some CD-ROM drives and DVD-ROM drives contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following statement.

Safety Information vii

DANGER

Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

DANGER:

Certains modèles d’ordinateurs personnels sont équipésd’origine d’une unité de CD-ROM ou de DVD-ROM. Mais ces unités sont également vendues séparément en tant qu’options. L’unité de CD-ROM/DVD-ROM est un appareil à laser. Aux État-Unis, l’unité de CD-ROM/DVD-ROM est certifiée conforme aux normes indiquées dans le sous-chapitre J du DHHS 21 CFR relatif aux produits à laser de classe 1. Dans les autres pays, elle est certifiée être un produit à laser de classe 1 conforme aux normes CEI 825 et CENELEC EN 60 825.

Lorsqu’une unité de CD-ROM/DVD-ROM est installée, tenez compte des remarques suivantes:

ATTENTION: Pour éviter tout risque d’exposition au rayon laser, respectez les consignes de réglage et d’utilisation des commandes, ainsi que les procédures décrites.

L’ouverture de l’unité de CD-ROM/DVD-ROM peut entraîner un risque d’exposition au rayon laser. Pour toute intervention, faites appel à du personnel qualifié.

Certaines unités de CD-ROM/DVD-ROM peuvent contenir une diode à laser de classe 3A ou 3B. Tenez compte de la consigne qui suit:

DANGER

Rayonnement laser lorsque le carter est ouvert. Évitez toute exposition directe des yeux au rayon laser. Évitez de regarder fixement le faisceau ou de l’observer à l’aide d’instruments optiques.

marketing representative.

Tools required

To install some options in your computer, you might need a flat-blade or a Phillips screwdriver. Additional tools might be needed for certain options. See the instructions that come with the option.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

When you add an option, do not open the static-protective package containing the option until you are instructed to do so.

8 User Guide

When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and memory modules by

the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

v Prevent others from touching components. v When you install a new option, touch the static-protective package containing

the option to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

v When possible, remove the option and install it directly in the computer without

setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package that the option came in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.

v Do not place the option on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Chapter 2. Installing external options

This chapter shows the various external connectors on your computer to which you can attach external options, such as external speakers, a printer, or a scanner. For some external options, you must install additional software in addition to making the physical connection. When adding an external option, use the information in this chapter to identify the required connector, and then use the instructions that come with the option to help you make the connection and install any software or device drivers that are required for the option.

Important

Before you install or remove any option, read “Safety Information” on page v. These precautions and guidelines will help you work safely.
