Tuning the driver
By default, the Ultrabay 2000 drive within the ThinkPad Dock or the ThinkPad

drive has to be set up in the DMA transfer mode.

4. Click the Device Manager button.

Attention: With some Ultrabay 2000 devices and application software, tuning
the transfer mode may cause unexpected trouble. In such a case, change the
transfer mode back to PIO.
