The CD/DVD Drive tab of the Fujitsu Tablet Controls utility allows you to enable or disable your CD or DVD drive when the Tablet PC is used in "undocked" (i.e., not connected to a port replicator) tablet mode.
The CD or DVD drive in your Tablet PC is designed to work optimally when the system is lying flat on a stable surface. Using the drive while the system is not on a flat surface could result in damage to the drive and/or the media. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY. You are strongly advised not to use the drive while the system is in undocked tablet mode.
This feature is in effect only when the user is logged-in.
The CD/DVD tab of the Fujitsu Tablet Controls window consists of three checkboxes:
Lock CD/DVD drive when the unit is in tablet mode
Show tray icon when CD/DVD drive is locked.
Show notification messages when CD/DVD drive is locked/unlocked
Lock CD/DVD drive when the unit is in tablet mode:
This checkbox should normally be checked (see "Important Notes" above). If you would like to access the CD/DVD drive while your system is in undocked tablet mode, deselect this checkbox. A message will appear asking if you really want to unlock the drive. Click [OK] to proceed, or [Cancel] to return to the utility.
Show tray icon when CD/DVD drive is locked:
This checkbox should normally be checked. If you would not like the Fujitsu Tablet Controls icon to appear in the system tray when the drive is locked, clear this box.
Show notification messages when CD/DVD drive is locked/unlocked:
This checkbox should normally be checked. If you would not like to be prompted when the drive is locked or unlocked, clear this box.
Click the [OK] button to accept the changes and close the window.
Click the [Apply] button to accept the changes and leave the window open.
Click the [Cancel] button to close the window without accepting the change.
Click the [Help] button to view the help file associated with the selected tab within the Fujitsu Tablet Controls.
When your system is in undocked tablet mode, and the "Lock CD/DVD drive when the unit is in tablet mode" box is checked, a Fujitsu Tablet Controls icon will appear at the bottom right of the display. When you select this icon, a menu will appear containing three items:
