Maintaining the DVD-RAM Drive

When this device is used for an extended period of time, it is possible that dust, etc.,
will accumulate on the lens portion of the optic head and on the surface of the media,
making normal operation impossible. Although the proper frequency for cleanings
depend on the environment and the conditions under which the device is used, the
device should be cleaned once every one to four months, using a cleaning kit (sold
separately – IBM PN 19P0489 -- CD/DVD Disc and Lens Cleaner).
