DVD-RAM Type II Disc
The DVD-RAM Type II disc can
be removed from its cartridge and played in a DVD-ROM drive that is compatible

Attention: Be careful when handling removed discs.
Debris, dust particles, fingerprints, smears, or scratches can affect recording
and playback of discs. To clean dust or other debris, use the IBM® DVD-RAM/CD-ROM cleaning kit. Do not use solvents
to clean disc surfaces. When labeling a disc, write only on the printed label
side, using a soft felt-tip marker. Do not use a hard-tip pen to write on
disc surface. Keep out of direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.
Do not attach labels to either side of the disc.
