Care and Maintenance
OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE AND DISCS
Caring for your discs
CDs and DVD discs are precision devices and will func-
tion reliably if given reasonable care.
■
Always store your discs in their case when not in use.
■
Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching
the surface.
■
Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures.
■
Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them.
■
Do not spill liquids on discs.
■
Do not scratch discs.
■
Do not put a label on discs.
■
Do not get dust on discs.
■
Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen
or pencil. Always use a felt pen.
■
If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera-
ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur-
face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free
cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use
a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.
■
If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with
a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner
edge and wiping to the outer edge.
Caring for your Optional Optical Drive
Your optical drive is durable but you must treat it with
care. Please pay attention to the following points:

speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock or
vibration with the power on.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
exposed to extreme temperatures.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or
dusty.
■
Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is
recommended to maintain the drive lens.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or
devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
■
Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
subjected to shock or vibration.
■
Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.
PC CARDS
Caring for your PC Cards
PC Cards are durable, but you must treat them with
care. The documentation supplied with your PC Cards
provides specific information for caring for the cards.
When you don’t have a PC Card installed in your
system, you should be sure to install the PC Card slot
inserts that came with your system. These will help to
keep dust and dirt out of your system.
