650 MB2of information on a CD-RW or CD-R disc in about 18 minutes. The drive

can also read data at up to 20 times the standard CD-ROM speed, or 6000 KB per

second.

Installing the drive

The ThinkPad 4X/4X/20X CD-RW Ultrabay 2000 Drive works with any ThinkPad

computer that has an Ultrabay 2000 drive bay.

Your ThinkPad computer includes an online user’s guide that provides drive

installation instructions specific to your computer. To correctly install the CD-RW

Drive into the Ultrabay 2000 drive bay in your ThinkPad computer, be sure to use the

instructions given in the online user’s guide.

Using the drive

This section provides information on how to handle and care for CDs and your

CD-RW drive, how to load CDs into your CD-RW drive, and how to get started using

the Easy CD Creator and DirectCD software applications.

Before you begin

Review the following guidelines before using the drive:

Movement of your ThinkPad while formatting or writing a disc may cause data

errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or writing to a disc, as this may

also cause data errors.

For best results:

–Keep the ThinkPad on a flat surface when writing to a disc.

–Use the CD-RW drive when the ThinkPad is plugged into an ac outlet. If

the battery runs out while writing to a disc, the disc may be damaged.

–Turn screensavers off. Using a screensaver may interrupt the formatting and

writing process.

The read and write results of the CD-RW drive depend upon the quality and

characteristics of the CD-R and CD-RW media used. Poor results may be

obtained with some CD-R and CD-RW suppliers.

Handling and caring for a CD

Carefully handle and clean CDs, especially writable media types such as CD-R and

CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of your CDs by

using the following precautions.

Attention: Wiping a CD using a circular motion can cause loss of data.

Part 1: Installation and user’s guide 1-3

Handle the CD by the edges or the center hole. Do not touch the surface of the

CD.

To remove dust or fingerprints, wipe the CD from the center to the edge with a

soft, lint-free cloth.

Do not write on the surface.

Do not place the CD in direct sunlight.

Do not use commercial cleaners to clean the CD.

Do not bend the CD.

Caring for the CD-RW drive

To protect your CD-ReWritable drive during operation, observe the following

precautions:

Remove any CD from the drive before moving the drive.

Do not insert foreign objects into the drive.

Do not stack objects on the drive.

Do not remove the drive cover or attempt to service the drive.

Do not operate the drive under any of the following conditions:

–High temperature, high humidity, or direct sunlight

–Excessive vibration, sudden shock, or inclined surface

–Excessive dust
