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. Yo u 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.

Page 10

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.

Batteries

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

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

viii ThinkCentre and Lenovo DVD-ROM Drive (Serial ATA) User’s Guide

Page 11

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

Starting WinDVD

When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the DVD Player software will automatically start and begin to play the video disc. Under Windows XP, you will be give a choice of which player to use from all of the players installed on your computer system.

If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program content will automatically play. To view the video content of a video or program DVD disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and click Play.

In Windows XP you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player application.

Changing the DVD region code

Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.

The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designed for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards. The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region code.

To change the region code, do the following:

1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.

2. Click Start.

3. Select Programs.

Review the following list for any problem description that might fit your situation.

Transporting data with DVD-RAM Media

DVD-RAM Media can be read on any ThinkCentre DVD-ROM drive which has RAM-read compatibility, but certain requirements must be satisfied. Your system either must have a 2.0 compliant UDF reader or you must finalize the media before it can be read.

If you do not have a 2.0 compliant UDF reader:

After data is written to the DVD-RAM media, it must be finalized before it can be read in an ThinkCentre DVD-ROM with RAM-read drive. Finalizing the media does not prevent the user to write more data. The DVD-RAM media may be finalized more than once. It is impossible for the ThinkCentre DVD-ROM with RAM-read drive to read the media which has not been finalized.

If you have a 2.0 compliant reader:

Unfinalized DVD-RAM media can be read.

Obtaining a 2.0 compliant UDF reader:

Free third party UDF reader software, such as VOB InstantRead, can be downloaded from http://www.vob.de/us/Downloads.htm

Third party software is not supported by Lenovo. Use at your own risk with no warranties expressly written or implied.

v Your computer or DVD-ROM drive does not operate correctly, or the busy

indicator light does not come on.

Take the following actions:

2. Check that all devices are properly connected to the computer and to the

electrical outlet.

3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables for your computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover.

4. Check that all power and Serial ATA cables are securely attached. Disconnect the Serial ATA cable and check for bent or misaligned pins. If you do not find any problems, reconnect the interface cable. Replace the computer cover, and reattach all cables and power cords. Turn on the computer, restart the operating system, and attempt to open the loading tray by pressing the Open/Close button. If the tray fails to open and the busy indicator does not light, turn off the computer and try using another 15-pin dc power cable.

Appendix E. 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.

warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the

The Machine or its parts.

Page 44

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. Yo u 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.

E-2 ThinkCentre and Lenovo DVD-ROM Drive (Serial ATA) User’s Guide

Page 45

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.

(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.
