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.

vii
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, AC adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are
charging. Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do not leave your computer, AC adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of your
body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your
computer, AC adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation. Extended
contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.
v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC adapter, or accessories near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.
v Ventilation slots, fans, and 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.

Returning the disc to the cartridge
To return the disc to the cartridge, align the label side of the disc ꢀ1ꢁwith the DVD-RAM cartridge label
side. Insert the disc and close the cartridge lid ꢀ2ꢁ. A clicking sound will occur when the lid closed.
Precautions for handling
Be careful when handling the removed disc. Debris, dust particles, fingerprints, smears, or scratches may
impair recording and playback of the media. To clean dust or other debris, use a CD Cleaning Kit. Use a
soft, dry cloth to clean the disc. Do not use solvents to clean the disc surface. When labeling a disc, write
only on the printed label side or the cartridge using a soft felt-tip marker. Keep out of direct sunlight,
high temperatures, and humidity. Do not attach labels to either side of the disc.
Using single and double-sided DVD-RAM media
DVD-RAM media is available in single-sided and double-sided versions.
The 2.6 GB and 4.7 GB versions are single-sided. The 9.4 GB versions are double-sided. To access the data

Using Blu-ray discs
The Blu-ray drive can read pressed Blu-ray discs, and can read and write to BD-R and BD-RE discs.
Pressed Blu-ray discs are read-only and can contain movies or data. Pressed Blu-ray discs come in two
sizes, 50 Gigabytes (GB) and 25 GB. Your Blu-ray drive can read both single-layer (25 GB) and double
layer (50 GB) discs. Most pressed Blu-ray discs are encoded using a UDF 2.5 file system. Windows Vista
can natively read UDF 2.5 discs. Windows XP cannot natively read UDF 2.5 discs.
BD-R discs can be written once, and cannot be erased. You can use BD-R discs to store data, archive files,
and copy files from another disc.
BD-RE discs can be erased and rewritten. You can use BD-RE discs to store data, archive files, and copy
files from another disc.
You can easily copy Blu-ray discs and the data on them to hard disk drive or other media. Data files that
are copied will act as if they were on the disc. Movies that are copied from Blu-ray discs are protected by
the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) and cannot be played back after copying.
Notes:
1. Blu-ray discs cannot be read at all in a normal DVD drive or player.

Note: If the software fails to install silently, you can select interactive installs of individual packages from
the bottom line of the installer page.
Before using the software
Video playback requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See
enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.
Using WinDVD
To view the video content of a Blu-ray or DVD disc, launch WinDVD from the Start menu or by clicking
the shortcut on your desktop and insert the disc into the drive.
On startup of the WinDVD, the drive light will run for several seconds, then the video output window
will resize to the size of the video. Once the video is playing, the WinDVD controls can be used to
navigate through the video and disc menus.
With Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player
application.
With Microsoft Windows Vista, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media
Player or Windows Media Center applications.
Notes:
2. Microsoft Windows built-in applications cannot play Blu-ray movies.
3. Blu-ray movie discs will not autoplay in Windows XP. Windows XP cannot natively read the UDF 2.5
file system, so these Blu-ray movie discs are considered blank.
Viewing Blu-ray movies
You can use WinDVD to watch Blu-ray movies with the Blu-ray drive. These movies are usually of very
high resolution, and have better picture and sound performance than normal DVDs. Blu-ray movies also
have additional features such as games and internet content. WinDVD can play back Blu-ray movies with
excellent sound and picture quality.
Most Blu-ray movies are recorded at 1920×1080 resolution. WinDVD can scale this size to fit on your
monitor or into a screen window. If the resolution of your monitor is sufficient, you can watch the movies
at full size.
The cost of such a large resolution is that few video cards have enough power to display some Blu-ray
movies without jerking. The only currently supported ThinkPad graphics adapter is the Nvidia Quadro
7300. ThinkPad with Intel® or ATI graphics will be able to play Blu-ray videos, but some discs will not
play smoothly. For best results on Blu-ray video, the 'Hardware Acceleration' box in the WinDVD control
panel should be checked.
Blu-ray movies are more interactive than DVD movies. In Blu-ray, the disc is allowed to determine what
controls (stop, pause, etc.) function and whether the mouse can be used. Most Blu-ray discs have chapter
and set-up menus that can be used while the movie is playing. Right-clicking on the video window and
selecting 'Pop-up on' will activate any in-line menu.

Changing the DVD and Blu-ray region codes
Commercial DVD movies are protected by the Content Scrambling System (CSS). Blu-Ray movies are
protected by the AACS. Both these protections divide the world into regions for playback of different
discs. Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region.
The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. These regions are numbered '1' to '7'.
The region code for CSS is stored in the drive. CSS allows an initial setting and four setting changes. On
the initial setting, no disc is required to change the code. On a region change, a single region disc from
the proper region must be in the drive. After the last change is used, the drive becomes locked into the
last setting forever.
Since the drive manages the regionalization of DVD CSS, both the drive and the disc can be checked for
the region. WinDVD will alert you if a wrong region disc is inserted, and offer you the choice of
changing the region. You can decide at that time to change the region or cancel playback.
The Blu-ray specification divides the world into three unique regions. Blu-ray regions are lettered 'A' to
'C'. The region code for Blu-ray is stored in your computer’s registry. Blu-ray allows an initial setting and
four setting changes. Blu-ray does not allow a player to check the region before playing. So the disc in
the drive during Blu-ray region change does not matter. After the last change is used, Windows becomes
locked into the last setting forever. As the setting is stored in the software, re-installing Windows will
reset the Blu-ray player to 'no region'.
Blu-ray regionalization does not allow WinDVD to view the region before playback. The first time that
you insert a Blu-ray disc into the drive, WinDVD will prompt you to select a region. If you later insert a
region mismatched disc, the disc will play to its own region error message. Most Blu-ray discs will
display a message and require that the disc be ejected on a region mismatch.
You can change the DVD or Blu-ray region code at any time by completing these steps:
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.
2. Click Start > Programs > Intervideo WinDVD > WinDVD 8.
3. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.
4. Click the General Properties tab.
5. Select DVD region or BD Region in the drop-down box.
6. If you are changing the DVD region, insert a single region DVD of the new region.
7. Select the correct region code for your country.
8. Click OK.
Using DVD Movie Factory
You can use DVD Movie factory to write data, audio, and movies to BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, and CD-RW media. BD-RE, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and
CD-RW media can be written to many times, while DVD-R, DVD+R, and CD-R media can only be
formatted and written to once.

Appendix A. Customizing the device driver configuration
settings
Microsoft Windows Me and Windows 2000 Professional have two device-driver configuration parameters:
Auto Insert Notify and DMA.
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or accessing the disc
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.
Enabling DMA for Windows XP
To change the DMA parameter setting from the Windows XP desktop, complete these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click Switch to classic view.
4. Double-click System.
5. Click the Hardware tab.
6. Click the Device Manager button.
7. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to expand the tree.
8. Double-click on the controller where your CD/DVD Burner is located (Primary IDE or Secondary
IDE).
9. Click the Advanced Settings tab.
10. Select the appropriate Transfer Mode pull-down that corresponds to the CD/DVD Burner location
(Device 0 for Master, Device 1 for Slave).
11. Select DMA if it is available.
12. Click OK.
Enabling digital audio extraction
Your system must be properly configured to play back digital audio from this drive. There are two
setting that must be configured. One setting is in the device properties, and a second setting is in
Windows Media Player.
To set the device properties, complete these steps:
1. Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.

Appendix B. Troubleshooting
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The information in this section
might be useful to help you solve problems or to gather helpful information you can pass on to a service
technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter
publications.
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your situation.
You cannot create a multi-session CD or DVD.
Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing a session requires lead-in
and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data that is recorded.
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, BD-R, BD-RE, or DVD-RAM
disc.
Complete these steps:
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus program, an Internet or
e-mail program, or other software. Disable the functions that might interrupt the write operation.
2. Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.
3. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive is conducting a
thermal recalibration during a write operation.
4. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and CD-RW drives.
You cannot eject a CD or DVD disc.
Complete these steps after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of writing to a disc:
1. Eject the CD through software.
2. Use the Eject button.
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try using the Eject button
again.
You cannot read from the CD or DVD disc after successfully writing to it.
Complete these steps:
1. If you can read the CD or DVD Disc in another CD or DVD player or you can see previous sessions,
the directory information might be damaged on the volume, making it unreadable. To get ideas for
troubleshooting, check the documentation that comes with the software.
2. You might have a damaged CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc. Try a new disc or
another brand of CD or DVD disc.
3. If you can read from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc in the writing drive, but not in another
CD drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed in the computer.
4. Avoid writing at the slower 1X speed unless required by your computer.
Blu-ray Video drops frames or is jerky.
1. Ensure that DMA is turned on for the drive as described in this User's Guide.
2. Ensure that 'Hardware Acceleration' is checked in the WinDVD Tools dialog.
3. Ensure that your disc is clean an free of scratches.

Note: Some Blu-ray video content cannot be played at full frame rate without advanced video hardware.
Blu-ray video menus don't always work with the mouse.
This is normal. BD-J menus are controlled by the disc. Use the system keyboard to navigate the menu.
While playing a Blu-ray video, a 'Region Error' appears and the WinDVD controls do not function
correctly.
This is not unusual on a region mismatch. Close WinDVD and eject the disc. Reopen WinDVD and
change the region to match the disc. Re-insert the disc to play it.
The controls for 'Menu', 'Play', 'Fast forward', 'Stop', or 'Skip' are grayed out during Blu-ray playback.
This is normal. The disc is written so that you cannot use those controls at the current time.
'Copy protection error. Playback Stopped' when using WinDVD.
1. If an external display is connected, ensure that it supports Macrovision copy protection.
2. Ensure that under Windows Vista, your video driver supports the Protected Media Path.
3. Disable the analog display if only watching on the attached LCD screen.
Blu-ray Playback has poor performance in battery mode only.
The system is overheating and throttling the GPU. To solve, try one of these items:
1. Move the system to a cooler location.
2. Turn off Hardware Acceleration in WinDVD temporarily.
3. Connect the AC adapter during playback.
'DLA' errors occur when Blu-ray media is inserted, or I cannot shut down.
Uninstall Sonic Drive Letter access. That program is not compatible with the Blu-ray drive.
Windows Vista shows a red screen 'Cannot close QuickDrop.'
You missed the QuickDrop dialog that pops up when you shut down. Go back and select Yes.
After changing users in Windows Vista 64, Autoplay no longer works for DVD or Blu-ray.
This is a Windows Vista defect. To correct it:
1. Log on as the new user.
2. Go to Control Panel > Autoplay.
3. Select WinDVD for autoplay of DVD and Blu-ray media.

Appendix E. Lenovo Limited Warranty
L505-0010-00 09/2006
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you purchased for your own
use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes be referred to as the ″Statement of Limited
Warranty″ (SOLW) in other documents from Lenovo.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date
of purchase specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty
period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section
titled ″Warranty Information.″
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES 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 APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND 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 ON DURATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty
service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a ″Service
support/phone.
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges
may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for
location-specific information.
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution
procedures specified.
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or through
remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software
updates.
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself (such as keyboard,
mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive, or port replicator), called a ″Customer Replaceable Unit″ or
″CRU.″ If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

E-1
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software
updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole
remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be
refunded.
Exchange of a Product or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item your Service Provider
replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be
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 status of the replaced
item.
Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;
2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange; and
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product that you do not
own.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access
to your facilities to permit the terms of this warranty to be fulfilled; and
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (″Personal Data″) is deleted
from the product or that, with respect to any remaining Personal Data you did not delete, you are in
compliance with all applicable laws.
Use of Personal Information
If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process information about your
warranty issue and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail
address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our
business relationship with you, such as to conduct internal reviews of the efficiency of the warranty
service we provide to you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty
service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we
may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting
on our behalf. We also may disclose it where required by law or legal authorities to do so.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
v loss of, or damage to, your data;
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
v failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by you;
E-2 ThinkPad Ultrabay Blu-ray Burner User's Guide
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
v any third party products, including those that Lenovo may procure and provide with or integrate into
the Lenovo product at your request; and
v any technical or other support, such as assistance with ″how-to″ questions and those regarding product
set-up and installation.
This warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the product or its parts.
Limitation of Liability
Lenovo is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your product only while it is 1) in your Service
Provider’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases in which the Service Provider is responsible for the
transportation.
Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your data including confidential,
proprietary, or personal data contained in a product. You should remove and/or backup all such
information from the product prior to its service or return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or other liability, you may be
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 and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you,
up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is
required by law to be liable.
This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider. It is the maximum for
which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider are collectively responsible.

PROVIDERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES; 2) LOSS OF, OR
DAMAGE TO, YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR
ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS
REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

arising out of or in connection with this warranty shall be finally settled by arbitration held in Singapore
and this warranty shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Singapore,

connection with this warranty shall be finally settled by arbitration held in Bangalore, India. Arbitration
in Singapore shall be held in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of Singapore International Arbitration

language, and the English language version of this warranty prevails over any other language version in
such proceedings.

If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service depending on the type of
warranty service specified for your product and the available service. Scheduling of service will depend
upon the time of your call, parts availability, and other factors.
A warranty period of 1 year on parts and 1 year on labor means that Lenovo provides warranty service
during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer period as required by law).
Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) Service
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for you to install. Most CRUs are easy
to install whereas others may require some technical skill and tools. CRU information and replacement
instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. You
may request that a Service Provider install some CRUs under one of the other types of warranty service
designated for your product. Installation of external CRUs (such as mice, keyboards, or monitors) is your
responsibility. Lenovo specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether the defective
CRU must be returned. When return is required, 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label,
and a container are included with the replacement CRU, and 2) you may be charged for the replacement
CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt
of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location.
You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product.
For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.
3. Courier or Depot Service
E-4 ThinkPad Ultrabay Blu-ray Burner User's Guide

Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service
center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the
product. A shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product to a designated
service center. A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center.
Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated
service center, with delivery or shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your
Service Provider specifies, (prepaid unless specified otherwise) the product suitably packaged to a
designated location. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your
collection. Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it
sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo’s expense, unless your Service
