Fujitsu Tablet Controls - CD/DVD Drive Help

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.

 IMPORTANT NOTES:

Using the Optical Drive Disabling Feature

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:

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 keep the option checked, or click [Cancel] to unlock the drive.

 

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.

Buttons

System Tray Icon

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:

Unlock CD/DVD Drive for this tablet session

When you click this menu item, you will be asked whether you really want to unlock the drive. To unlock the drive, click [Yes]. Note that enabling the drive in this manner will not change the setting in the Fujitsu Tablet Controls control panel applet.

 

Configure

When you click this menu item, the Fujitsu Tablet Controls window appears.
