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.

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 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 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

Chapter 2. Installation

This chapter contains hardware and software installation instructions and operating information for the Multi-Burner Plus.

Installing the drive

Complete the following steps to install the drive:

Step 1. Opening the computer

1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2. Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.

3. Remove the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on

removing the computer cover.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag to an unpainted metal

surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.

2. Remove the drive from the bag.

If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive on the antistatic bag.

Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers

You can configure your drive as master 1, slave 2, or cable-select 3, by placing the jumper over the configuration pins as shown.

Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your drive. v Configure the drive as a master if it will be the only device that is connected to the IDE cable. This is

the preset configuration.

v Configure the drive as a slave if it will be the second device on an IDE cable. Be sure to configure the

other device as a master. In some cases, a hard disk drive might require a “master with slave present” jumper setting when another device on the same cable is configured as a slave. For more information on setting configuration jumpers on other devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

v Some computers use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in the device connectors so that the

drives can be configured by the cable instead of by jumper position. Use the cable-select position only for computers that are equipped with these special cables. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your ATA adapter requires that you place the jumpers in the cable-select position.

If you place the jumper in the cable-select position, the IDE cable automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the position of the drive on the cable. You must use the cable-select setting for this cabling system whether the drive is the only device or the second device connected to the cable. The drive closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive. Any other devices on the IDE cable must also be set to cable-select.

Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention

Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option package when securing screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you

must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the drive will not be able to read the disc properly.

1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have required procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket.

3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually used on each side. Verify

that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive

The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.

1. Attach a 40-pin IDE-cable connector 1to the IDE connector on the drive. Align the cable so that the color-coded edge is closest to the power cable connector 2. Use the 80-conductor high speed IDE cable that is provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the IDE port, if there is only one device connector on the computer IDE cable, or if the existing cable in your computer is a low-speed 40-conductor type. The IDE cable can have up to three connectors. For the best signal quality when you are connecting only one device to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the other end of the cable to the device. Do not use the middle connector.

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the drive or other slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.

2. Attach a four-pin power cable 2to the power connector on the drive. Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer cover and that all other cable

and power connections are secure.

2-2 Multi-Burner Plus User ’s Guide

Step 6. Completing the hardware installation

1. Ensure that the drive is securely mounted and that the connectors are firmly attached.

2. Ensure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover, and that they do not block the

power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.

3. Reinstall the computer cover.

4. Reconnect all external devices.

5. Reconnect all power cords into the electrical outlets.
