Reference information
1
Power management reduces processor speed when in battery mode.
2
Maximum memory capacity may require the replacement of standard component with largest component
available.
3
GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity is less. Up to 4 GB is used in the
service partition.
4
Airbag technology to help protect your ThinkPad notebook. Like an airbag, it can detect sudden changes
in motion to help protect your valuable data from everyday notebook accidents.
5
The Intel WiFi Link 5100 (1 x 2) and WiFi Link 5300 (3 x 3) follow IEEE 802.11 a, b, g, and draft n
specifications. The Wi-Fi Alliance is certifying products based on IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 standard. The
Intel 5300 Wireless Card is capable of supporting transfer rates of up to 450 Mbps. The maximum speed
depends on the access point device and the number of integrated antennas used for connection.
6
Based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. An adapter with 11a/b or 11a/b/g can communicate on
any of these formats; the actual connection is based on the access point to which it connects.
7
The V.90 modem can receive data at up to 56 Kbps from a compatible service provider and transmit data
at up to 31.2 Kbps. Public networks currently limit maximum download speeds to about 53 Kbps. Actual
speeds depend on many factors and are often less than the maximum possible.
8
Public network download speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Upload speeds are limited to 48 Kbps for V.92
modems. Actual speeds depend on many factors and are often less than the maximum possible. V.92
functions and speeds require a compatible phone line and server equipment, and download of a V.92
support device driver when available. Check with your telephone and Internet service providers for
availability.
9
One-button recovery and restore solution. A suite of self-recovery tools to help users diagnose and
recover, even if the operating system will not boot.
10
Intel Turbo Memory is nonvolatile cache technology. Instead of booting from the hard drive, a notebook
using Intel Turbo Memory turns to standard flash memory. It also takes advantage of new Windows Vista
capabilities, including Microsoft SuperFetch, Microsoft ReadyBoost, and Microsoft ReadyDrive. Intel Turbo
Memory works with all SATA hard drives.

Operating environment: ThinkPad computers are designed, built, and tested for high quality
and reliability. When used properly in standard business environments, a ThinkPad system
should be a reliable computing asset for many years. Harsh environments and abuse can
damage ThinkPad systems because they are not intended to withstand extreme temperatures,
dust, shock, or other severe physical environments. ThinkPad systems should not be used in
unsuitable environments. For example, a ThinkPad system should not be used in nonstationary
environments, such as in-vehicle installations, without additional casing or shock dissipation.

http://www.lenovo.com/think/support
Vendor software compatibility
Lenovo tests a large number of commonly used and available applications for compatibility with
its ThinkPad systems using supporting operating systems and configurations. In general, you
can expect that most vendor applications designed to run on supported operating systems and
Intel®-compatible system architectures should be compatible with a ThinkPad system. Some
Lenovo Asia Pacific AG08-0646 Lenovo is a trademark of Lenovo 20configurations, however, may not be compatible.
Lenovo does not warrant or support vendor software products, nor guarantee compatibility of
those products with Lenovo systems. Refer to the applicable warranty and license terms
provided by the respective vendors.
Limitations: ThinkPad R500 series models featuring a Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit operating
system can support up to 3 or 4 GB of addressable memory respectively.
For a list of tips about running various versions of operating systems, visit
http://www.lenovo.com/think/support
Planning information
Cable orders: All required cables are included in the shipment group.
Installability: ThinkPad notebook systems require approximately 20 minutes for installation,
which includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to
install optional memory and other features.
Security, auditability, and control
Passwords: These password protection mechanisms are available:
• Power-on passwords to help protect the system from unauthorized use
• Supervisor password for use by a system administrator
• HDD password to help protect data on the removable HDD

the system. If installed after the initial system installation, they carry the balance of the system
warranty or the optional feature warranty, whichever is greater.
Warranty service: If required, your service provider provides repair or exchange service
depending on the type of warranty service specified for the machine. A service technician will
attempt to resolve your problem over the telephone. You must follow the problem determination
and resolution procedures. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call and is
subject to parts availability. Service levels are response time objectives and are not guaranteed.
The specified level of warranty service may not be available in all worldwide locations. Additional
charges may apply outside your service provider's normal service area. Contact your local
service provider representative or your reseller for country- and location-specific information.
Customer replaceable unit (CRU) service: Under CRU service, your service provider will ship
CRUs to you for installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped
Lenovo Asia Pacific AG08-0646 Lenovo is a trademark of Lenovo 21with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. CRUs that are easily
installed by you are called self-service CRUs, while optional-service CRUs may require some
technical skill and tools. Installation of self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may request
that a service provider install optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of warranty
service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be available from Lenovo
to have Lenovo install self-service CRUs for you. You can find a list of CRUs and their
designation in the publication that ships with your product or at
http://www.lenovo.com/CRUs
The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with
a replacement CRU. When return is required: return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label,
and a container will be included with the replacement CRU. You may be charged for the
replacement CRU if your service provider does not receive the defective CRU within 30 days of
your receipt of the replacement.
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 by you
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
provider specifies otherwise.
International Warranty Service (IWS): IWS is available during the warranty period to
customers who travel or relocate to countries where their computer is sold and serviced by a
service provider authorized to perform warranty service. Eligible Lenovo computers are identified
by their four-digit machine type.
You can obtain IWS through the method of service, such as CRU, depot, carry-in, or on-site,
provided in the servicing country. Service methods and procedures vary by country, and some
service or parts may not be available in all countries. Service centers in certain countries may
not be able to service all models of a particular machine type. In addition, some countries may
have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service.
Note: Due to the earth's magnetic field, cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors are manufactured to
work in northern, southern and equatorial regions of the earth and may not produce a
satisfactory image when moved between them. Any required adjustment (if possible) is not
covered under IWS and may be subject to a chargeable action. The magnetic field does not
affect Flat Panel LCD Monitors and ThinkPad LCD displays.
