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.  
© Lenovo 2006. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.  
 
ix  
 
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

Chapter 3. Using the drive 3-7  
 
 
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 given a choice of which player to use from  
all the players installed on your 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.  
With Microsoft 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 designated 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.  
Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes,  
the drive can play only MPEG-2 video titles that are associated with the fifth region code that you  
set.  
To change the region code, do the following:  
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.  
2. Click Start.  
3. Select Programs.  
4. Click Intervideo WinDVD.  
5. Click Intervideo WinDVD.  
6. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.  
7. Click the General Properties tab.  
8. Insert a single region DVD of the new region.  
9. Select the correct region code for your country.  
10. Click OK.  
The following components are not present in all Microsoft Operating systems but are required to operate  
WinDVD: IDE DMA, Internet Explorer 5, and DirectX 8.1. This section provides instructions for updating  
various operating systems to enable DVD playback. See Appendix C, “Customizing the device driver  
configuration settings,” on page C-1 for information on enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating  
video device drivers.

Appendix C. Customizing the device driver configuration  
settings  
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional has two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify  
and DMA.

automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA parameter improves the computer performance  
by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the  
computer’s microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make  
movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is allocating more processing time to  
video.

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.  
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the Machine or its parts.  
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.”  
© Lenovo 2006. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005.  
 
E-1  
 
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.  
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.  
E-2 ThinkCentre and Lenovo Super Multi-Burner Drive (Serial ATA) User’s Guide  
 
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
