ThinkPad 380/385 8X CD-ROM Drive - Hardware Installation Instructions Supplement
Applicable to: World-Wide
A small number of 8X CD ROM Drives for the ThinkPad 380/385 systems (Option PN 73H9795 and FRU PN 73H9933) may have incorrect mounting screws in the packaging. The incorrect screws are 3.5mm in length, and are black in color. The correct screws are 2.4mm in length, will have a pan head, and are gold in color.
A flyer has been added to the OBI ThinkPad 380/385 8X CD-ROM Drive Upgrade User's Guide and Hardware Installation Instructions for Dealers and IBM Service Representatives. This option is a dealer installable CD-ROM drive. The flyer will replace Step 3 of the User's Guide found in Part 3: Appendix B.
The following should be used when installing the CD-ROM drive into a ThinkPad 380E, 385E, 380ED, or 385ED:
Removal and installation of the 8X IDE CD ROM drive remains unchanged for the ThinkPad 380, 380D, or 385D. The servicer will continue to use Step 3 as found in the User's Guide for these systems.
The HMM for the ThinkPad 380/385 has been updated to reflect this change. See the entry for CD-ROM/FDD Assembly for FRU Removals and Replacements in the IBM Mobile Systems HMM Volume 4 (S05L-1270-00). The HMM is available on-line from the IBM PC Company Web site at:
http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/cdt/hmm.html
The CD ROM is to be installed by an authorized servicer. When the incorrect screws are used, the tray will fail to open. To receive the correct screws, the servicer may order FRU PN 83H6522 as a screw kit. This kit will contain the M2x2.4mm screws required to install the drive.
If the servicer replaces the drive with a FRU, the service part will not contain any screws. The drive should not be damaged if the incorrect screws are used. If the screws are over-tightened or the tray is forced open and closed, damage may occur. Before replacing the drive, attempt to replace the incorrect screws with the correct screws and complete diagnostics.
