- Troubleshooting IBM Thinkpad Hardware Setup Problems
-
-
- If you should experience problems setting up PCMCIA Cards or ISA Adapters (in
- the docking station), please follow the procedures listed below:
- Troubleshooting IBM Thinkpad Hardware Setup Problems
-
-
- If you should experience problems setting up PCMCIA Cards or ISA Adapters (in
- the docking station), please follow the procedures listed below:
-
-
- (1) Please ensure that your ThinkPad is using the latest BIOS release for that
- system. Later BIOS releases correct problems that users have experienced with
- the earlier releases. Refer to the ThinkPad BIOS section to determine if you
- need to update your system's BIOS.
-
- (2) Make sure that your software drivers are at the correct release level and
- are setup properly. Refer to the ThinkPad PCMCIA Drivers section to see if you
- need to update your system's PCMCIA device drivers. If you are using Point
- Enablers, please ensure that they are at the latest release level.
-
- (3) Determine if any upper memory conflicts exist between the areas claimed by
- ThinkPad BIOS, Card & Socket Services, Point Enablers, the SCSI Adapter found
- in IBM Docking Stations, and any ISA Adapters installed in the docking station.
- Refer to the ThinkPad Memory Map and the ThinkPad Dock I & Dock II Memory Map
- sections.
-
- The Device Driver DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF (DOS PCMCIA Resource Map Utility)
- sets the upper memory addresses used by Card & Socket Services. The /MA
- parameter tells Card Services what locations in upper memory can be used by
- PCMCIA cards or Card Services, and must match or be a subset of an excluded
- memory range on the EMM386 line of CONFIG.SYS.
-
- (4) Microsoft Windows can overwrite the upper memory address used by Card &
- Socket Services. To prevent this, add an EmmExclude=XXXX-XXXX statement to the
- ╘386 Enh╥ section of SYSTEM.INI (Where XXXX-XXXX is the same as the memory
- region as used in the /MA parameter for the DICRMU01.SYS driver). If you are
- using point enablers, be sure to exclude any upper memory used by the enabler
- by adding an EmmExclude statement to SYSTEM.INI.
-
- (5) Make sure that no interrupt conflicts exist between ThinkPad devices,
- PCMCIA Cards, the SCSI Adapter found in the IBM Docking Stations, and any ISA
- Adapters installed in the docking station. Refer to the ThinkPad Interrupt
- Assignments section to view the default interrupt assignments.
-
- Please note that the ThinkPad System Setup Utility allows you to view and
- change interrupt assignments for many internal devices.
-
- The Resource Map Utility (DOS - DICRMU01.SYS, OS/2 - ICRMU01.SYS) can
- automatically detect many IRQs already in use, but may not detect all. Try
- excluding the IRQ of the onboard SCSI and any ISA Adapters in the Docking
- Station by adding the /IX=xx parameter to the Resource Map Utility (where xx is
- the IRQ number to exclude). Multiple IRQs may be specified by separating with
- a comma.
-
- (6) Ensure that no DMA conflicts exist between internal ThinkPad devices and
- any ISA Adapters installed in the docking station. Please refer to the
- ThinkPad DMA Assignments section.
-
- (7) Some ISA Adapters in the IBM DOCK I and DOCK II may require the ISA Adapter
- Timing Fix. Please download YPTF012.EXE from the IBM BBS.

-
- Installing Windows 95 on the ThinkPad 360, 750, 755C, & 755Cs
-
- (1) For complete Windows 95 directions, please download TPWIN95.EXE from the
- IBM BBS.
-
- (2) If your ThinkPad is still running the original IBM software preload,
- download WIN95SET.EXE as well. This diskette will prepare an IBM ThinkPad
- loaded with the IBM software preload for Windows 95. The diskette will check
- the BIOS level of the system, stop the ThinkPad Welcome Screen from being
- displayed automatically, and delete OS/2 WARP and any preinstalled OS/2
- applications.
-
- (3) It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you update your system BIOS to the latest
- BIOS release before installing Windows 95 on your system. Early BIOS releases
- do not support Plu & Play or MWAVE under Windows 95. Refer to the BIOS section
- for the latest BIOS level for you ThinkPad.
-
- (4) Install Windows 95.
-
- (5) The ThinkPad Features Program for Windows works on Windows 95. If you
- install Windows 95 on a blank hard disk or you haven't installed ThinkPad
- Features Program, follow the instructions of "ThinkPad Features Program -
- Installing for Windows" in the ThinkPad User's Guide. Please ensure that you
- are at the latest levels (refer to Driver Levels section of this document).
-
- (6) Windows 95 comes with the integrated PCMCIA support. To use the Windows 95
- PCMCIA support functions, refer to the Windows 95 documentation or on-line
- help. Note: to use PCMCIA function, you must run the PC Card Wizard in Control
- Panel under My Computer.
-
- If you want to use ThinkPad PC Card Director (or EasyPlaying), you can still
- use ThinkPad DOS PCMCIA device drivers. Follow the instructions in the
- ThinkPad User's Guide for "Installing the PCMCIA drivers - Installing for DOS."
- Make sure that you use the latest PCMCIA drivers.
-
- (7) The video device driver for ThinkPad 360, 750, & 755 systems is included
- with Windows 95. You do not need to install the ThinkPad Windows video device
- driver. However, you still need to install the ThinkPad VESA video driver.
-
- Obtain ThinkPad Video feature diskette and insert it into the diskette drive.
- Go to the DOS command prompt. Then, type A:VINSTALL and pres Enter. The
- supported display list appears. Using the Arrow keys, highlight the display
- type which you use with your ThinkPad, and press Enter. Follow the instructions
- on the screen to save your display selection; then press F3 to exit the menu.
- Remove the diskette from the diskette drive; then restart the system. The
- ThinkPad is now ready to work with Windows 95 video device driver.
-
- (8) The ThinkPad Audio Support Software for Windows works on Windows95. If you
- install Windows 95 over a DOS/Windows 3.x system on which you have already
- installed ThinkPad Audio Support Software, it is migrated into "Start Menu"
- automatically. Click "Start"; click "Programs"; then click "Audio" to select
- the ThinkPad audio program which you use.
-
-
- (9) Please note that Plug and Play BIOS is not supported on the ThinkPad 750
- Systems.
-
- (10) If you are using an IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter, download TRCC1.EXE
- for an updated driver for Windows 95.

-
- Installing Windows NT 3.51 on the ThinkPad 360, 750, 755C, & 755Cs
-
- (1) Update your system BIOS to the latest BIOS release before installing
- Windows NT on your system.
-
- (2) If you need to use PCMCIA Hard Disk drives, insert the device in the PCMCIA
- slot before you start installing Windows NT. NT will only recognize the PCMCIA
- Hard Disk at installation time and set up the necessary device driver.
-
- (3) Install Windows NT using the Custom Setup Option and specify the video
- display as Standard VGA (640 x 480, 16 colors).
-
- (4) After NT has been installed, install the ThinkPad 750/755 Windows NT Video
- Device Driver (see Drivers section for file to download).
-
- (5) Windows NT comes with integrated PCMCIA support for some PCMCIA devices.
- The PCMCIA device driver included with Windows NT does not support the IBM 16/4
- Token Ring CCA, the IBM 16/4 Token Ring CCA/II or the IBM Auto 16/4 PCMCIA
- Token Ring card. When you use these Token Ring cards, you need to install the
- IBM PCMCIA Token Ring Device Driver. Download TRCC1.EXE & TRCC2.EXE.
-
- (4) Install the Windows NT version ThinkPad Feature program. Using this
- program, you can change your hardware configuration, display the fuel gauge,
- and set the device stand-by timers (same as in the Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
- environments).
-
- Currently, the following functions are not supported on Windows NT:
-
- Suspend/Resume and Hibernation functions are not supported. Power Management
- function is limited. If you will make the system going into suspend mode, the
- system clock (time of day clock) will not be updated while the system is in
- suspend mode. It is recommended that you not use suspend mode. If you need to
- save the battery, use Standby mode by pressing Fn+F3 key.
-
- If you use your machine in mobile environment and need to move the system,
- shutdown NT and power off the machine before you move the machine. Physically
- moving the machine while in standby mode may damage the internal hard disk.
-
- NT does not support advance power management. Battery life may become shorter
- depending on the memory size and type of job you run on Windows NT. Pay
- attention to fuel gauge to monitor the battery life during operation.
-
- Windows NT supports the IBM Dock-I and Dock-II. However, hot/warm docking is
- not supported. To use the device in the Docking station, you must power off the
- system prior to docking/undocking.
-
- The ThinkPad 750/755 family SVGA video device drivers has a screen corruption
- problem when it is installed on 750/755 STN color model. When you use STN color
- model, it is required to use standard VGA (640x480, 16 colors) video driver
- which is included in the Windows NT.

-
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS /D (DOS PCMCIA Socket Services
- Driver PCMCIA Socket
- Services 2.0)
-
- The /D parameter allows warm docking when used with a Dock II docking station.
- If you are not using a Dock II then removing the /D parameter will reduce the
- amount of upper memory this driver uses by approximately 1KB. Socket Services
- uses between 6KB and 7KB of memory .
-
-
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS (DOS PCMCIA Card Services
- Driver for PCMCIA Socket
- Services 2.0)
-
- Card Services uses 29KB of memory.
-
-
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF (DOS PCMCIA Resource Map
- Utility)
-
- The /MA parameter tells Card Services what locations in upper memory can be
- used by PCMCIA cards or Card Services, and must match or be a subset of an
- excluded memory range on the EMM386 line. The PCMCIA Resource Memory Map
- Utility Driver does not remain in memory.
-
-
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS (DOS PC Card Power
- Management Driver)
-
- This driver uses 3KB of memory.
-
-
-
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI
-
- This statement loads the PCMCIA Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS) into upper
- memory. AUTODRV.SYS recognizes many popular modems, 3270 cards, and SCSI
- cards. It does not recognize 5250 PCMCIA cards, SDLC cards, or LAN PCMCIA
- cards. AUTODRV.SYS uses 13KB of memory.
-
-
- Please note that Card & Socket Services also requires a 4KB block of upper
- memory.

- THINKPAD DOS/WINDOWS MEMORY MANAGEMENT TIPS
-
- Audio Device Driver for ThinkPad 750, 755C, and 755Cs
-
- (1) The Audio Device Driver used for DOS Audio Support on the ThinkPad 750,
- 755C, and 755Cs is only required for DOS Audio Support. It is not required for
- Audio Support under Microsoft Windows. This Driver (TPAUDDD.SYS) uses up to
- 58KB of memory. Remove this driver from CONFIG.SYS if DOS Audio Support is
- not required.
-
- (2) If you are not using Video for Windows or other full motion video
- applications in Windows, you may be able to save a significant amount of memory
- in the Windows environment by installing a new version of the Windows Audio
- Driver that can be almost entirely loaded into extended memory. Full motion
- video with audio is demanding and best performance can only be achieved when
- the Windows Audio Driver is loaded low (below 1MB). Please upgrade to the
- latest Windows Audio Driver and obtain the tpmemhlp.exe package from the IBM
- BBS.
-
-
-
- VESA Video Driver for ThinkPad 360, 750, 755C, and 755Cs
-
- (1) The VESA Video Driver for the ThinkPad 360, 750, 755C, and 755Cs is only
- required if using 640 X 480 X 256 Color Mode (or higher resolutions). This
- Driver (VESA.EXE) uses 8KB of memory. Remove this driver from CONFIG.SYS if
- you are running Microsoft Windows in VGA mode.
-
-
- Disabling SCSI BIOS in ThinkPad DOCK II
-
- (1) If you are not using a SCSI device in the DOCK II or are only using the
- internal SCSI CD-ROM, you can disable SCSI BIOS and reclaim 16KB of upper
- memory. SCSI BIOS can be disabled by rebooting the system while in the DOCK
- II, pressing Ctrl A at the prompt, selecting Configure/View Host Adapter
- Settings, and changing Host Adapter BIOS to Disabled. SCSI BIOS can also be
- disabled by removing the DOCK II's cover and changing the switch settings on
- the DIP switch block: Switch 1, 2, and 3 to ON. Do not change switch 4.
-
-
-
- Memory Management Without PCMCIA Cards
-
- (1) If you do not intend to use PCMCIA Cards, there is no reason to load Card &
- Socket Services Drivers. Remove all IBM Card and Socket Services Device
- Drivers from CONFIG.SYS (See previous page).
-
- (2) Card & Socket Services Drivers are not required to use the MWAVE DSP Modem
- or DSP Audio functions.
-
- (3) Review the ThinkPad Memory Map for your system. Include any upper memory
- areas not used by adapter cards in the Docking Station. Be sure to exclude the
- address of the SCSI adapter in the Docking Station if SCSI support is needed.
-
- (4) If you are not using the monochrome video mode (most applications do not),
- the Monochrome Video Area (B000 - B7FF) may be mapped (by adding I=B000-B7FF to
- the EMM386.EXE line in CONFIG.SYS). If using Microsoft Windows, add a
- Device=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386 statement to the ╘386Ehn╥ section of SYSTEM.INI.

- Memory Management With PCMCIA Cards
-
- (1) Many PCMCIA card manufacturers provide Point Enablers with their products.
- Point Enablers are small programs that provide an interface directly to the
- PCMCIA controller; therefore they must be written to support a particular type
- of controller.
-
- Point Enablers are relatively simple to configure, do not require Card & Socket
- Services Drivers, consume no memory (they remove themselves from memory after
- configuring the card), and provide the maximum DOS memory for your ThinkPad.
- However, with Point Enablers, you must specify the slot number of the card
- (therefore , the card must always be in a specific slot). You must also
- manually assign any upper memory blocks and IRQs used by that card. In
- addition, hot-plugging of the card is prohibited (in fact, it may damage the
- card).
-
- If Point Enablers are provided with the PCMCIA card(s) you are using, decide
- whether to use the Point Enablers or Card & Socket Services.
-
- (2) If you use Card & Socket Services, decide whether to use the Super Client
- Driver (AUTODRV.SYS) or the drivers that are provided with your PCMCIA card(s).
- The Super Client Driver automatically recognizes many popular PCMCIA cards
- (including modems, 3270 cards, and SCSI adapters -- it does not recognize 5250
- PCMCIA cards, SDLC cards, or LAN PCMCIA cards.). However, the Super Client
- Driver can consume more memory than do the drivers provided with the PCMCIA
- card.
-
- (3) Determine the amount and location of upper memory required by your PCMCIA
- card(s), Docking Station, and ISA Adapter cards. If possible, locate upper
- memory required by all PCMCIA cards and ISA Adapters in one contiguous block.
- If using Card & Socket Services, these drivers require a 4KB upper memory block
- that can be located anywhere in upper memory.
-
- (4) Review the ThinkPad Memory Map for your system. Note that for TP 360 and
- 755C/Cs Systems, PCMCIA Card ROM & RAM addresses cannot be located at C000-C0FF
- or D000-D0FF. Exclude from EMM386.EXE's usage the upper memory areas used by
- (a) the PCMCIA card(s), (b) Card & Socket Services (4KB), (c) the upper memory
- area used by the SCSI Adapter in the ThinkPad Docking Station (if applicable),
- and (d) the upper memory areas used by any ISA adapters in the ThinkPad Docking
- Station. Include any available upper memory areas not excluded above.
-
- (5) If using Card & Socket Services, modify the DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS
- /MA=XXXX-XXXX line in CONFIG.SYS. Make the XXXX-XXXX range match the upper
- memory area used by any PCMCIA cards (plus the 4KB used by Card & Socket
- Services).
-
- (6) Exclude any memory area allocated to PCMCIA Cards from usage by Microsoft
- Windows by adding an EmmExclude=XXXX-XXXX line to the ╘386Enh╥ section of the
- SYSTEM.INI File. Where XXXX-XXXX is the upper memory range allocated to the
- PCMCIA cards. If you are using Card & Socket Services, the EmmExclude range
- must match the /MA= range of the DICRMU01.SYS Driver.
-
- (7) If you are not using the monochrome video mode (most applications do not),
- the Monochrome Video Area (B000-B7FF) may be mapped (by adding I=B000-B7FF to
- the EMM386.EXE line in CONFIG.SYS). If using Microsoft Windows, add a
- Device=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386 statement to the ╘386Ehn╥ section of SYSTEM.INI.
-
- (8) If you are using an IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter, and IBM Token-Ring
- Adapter in a Docking Station, or an IBM EtherJet Adapter in a Docking Station,
- download the IBM LAN Client Code from the IBM BBS. This code loads 802.2
- Support, Netbios, the Netware Requester, and a TCP/IP stack into extended
- memory (not upper memory). It can reduce the DOS memory consumption of these
- protocols to 5KB.

- IBM PCMCIA MODEM CONFIGURATION
-
- Using the IBM Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS)
-
- (1) The IBM Super Client Driver will automatically recognize IBM PCMCIA Modems. Sample
- CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI
-
-
- Using the IBM PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (Note: Not All IBM PCMCIA Modems Support this
- Point Enabler)
-
- (1) The IBM PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (called PCCOMDOS.SYS) does not require Card &
- Socket Services. It does reside in memory and requires 16KB. Using the Point Enabler
- can save up to 36KB (if you do not load Card & Socket Services or AUTODRV.SYS).
- However, with the IBM Point Enabler hot-plugging of the card is prohibited (in fact, it
- will damage the card).
-
- (2) Be sure to exclude a 4KB block for the modem in upper memory (On the
- ThinkPad 360 & 750, this block cannot be located at C000-C0FF or D000-D0FF).
- If you are also using card services, do not include the 4KB block in the
- /MA=XXXX-XXXX parameter of the DICRMU01.SYS driver.
-
- (3) Sample CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=C:\PCCOMDOS\PCCOMDOS.SYS COM2 /BEEP /WINBIOS /AMEM CE
-
- Where: COM2 is the COM 1, 2, 3, or 4 COM 2 is recommended
- /AMEM is the memory location CE00 is recommended
- for the modem's 4KB block
-
-
- Using the IBM PCMCIA Modem Driver
-
- (1) The IBM PCMCIA Modem Driver (called ESTDFM.EXE) does require Card & Socket Services.
- It does reside in memory and requires 25KB. Therefore, I recommend that you use the
- AUTODRV.SYS driver since it takes less memory. ESTDFM.EXE is loaded via the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- ESTDFM.EXE S1C2 Where: S1 is the Slot Number
- C2 is the Communications Port (C1, C2, C3, or C4)

- MEGAHERTZ MODEM CONFIGURATION
-
- Using the IBM Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS)
-
- (1) The IBM Super Client Driver will automatically recognize most Megahertz PCMCIA
- Modems. Sample CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS
- DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI
-
-
-
- Using the MegaHertz PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler
-
- (1) The MegaHertz PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (called SETMHZ.EXE) does not require Card &
- Socket Services. In addition, it removes itself from memory once it has configured the
- modem. This can save up to 49KB (if you eliminate Card & Socket Services). However,
- with the MegaHertz Point Enabler, you must specify the slot number of the card
- (therefore, the card must always be in a specific slot). In addition, hot-plugging of
- the card is prohibited (in fact, it will physically damage the card).
-
- (2) Obtain the latest Megahertz Point Enabler. Versions before 3.1 do not support the
- ThinkPad 360 & 755. Latest version is 4.3. Be sure to exclude a 4KB block for the
- modem in upper memory (for the ThinkPad 360 & 755, this block cannot be located at C000-
- C0FF or D000-D0FF). If you are also using card services, do not include the 4KB block
- in the /MA=XXXX-XXXX parameter of the DICRMU01.SYS driver.
-
- (3) The SETMHZ program is loaded via the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Format of the SETMHZ.EXE
- Program:
-
- SETMHZ.EXE /cn /in /sn /pnnnn /dnnnn
-
- Where: /cn is COM 1, 2, 3, 4 COM 2 is recommended
- /in is IRQ 1 .. 15 IRQ 3 is recommended
- /sn is Slot A, B, C, or D
- /pnnnn is the memory location CE00 is recommended
- /dnnnn is the delay in milliseconds 1500 is recommended
