-
- Revised 01/29/97 by Jim Wilkerson
-
- This procedure is for installing OS/2 Warp Connect via the Remote Install
- facility included with the product on the IBM Thinkpad 760 series machines
- using the IBM Auto 16/4 PCMCIA Token Ring Card.
-
- This procedure is for basic OS/2 installation and operation only. Enhanced
- features such as Mwave and MPEG playback are addressed in seperate procedures
- from this document.
-
- The files listed in this procedure are available from the IBM PC Company BBS at
- phone: (919) 517-0001, anonymous ftp: ftp.pcco.ibm.com, and World Wide Web
- site: http://www.pcco.ibm.com.
-
-
- *** Preliminary Setup ***
-
- Obtain the following files from IBM for the Thinkpad being used, run each from
- a temporary directory and follow the instructions to create the diskettes as
- listed.
-
- *** NOTE ***
-
- The actual file descriptions listed here may vary from the descriptions as
- posted on the BBS, the ftp site, and the WEB. The file name, size and date
- should be exact.

-
- Note: The Utility Disk for DOS is only needed if Thinkpad Personalization is
- desired during Thinkpad Features installation.
-
- A bootable OS/2 Warp Installation diskette and a diskette 1 will be required to
- complete the installation. These disks can be from any version of OS/2 Warp.
-
- Start the Warp Connect Remote Install from the machine which will act as the
- remote server. Create the Remote Installation diskettes using the Thinkpad
- 755CE/CsE for PCMCIA support and IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Network Adapters for the
- network card. Make sure to change the card's settings for Default Ring Speed
- to 16.
-
- *** Special Note for the Thinkpad 760L Series ***
-
- Edit the CONFIG.SYS on the OS/2 Warp Connect Remote Install Disk 2 and REMark
- out the line:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
-
- Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the editor, and proceed with the installation.
-
-
- *** Special Notes for the Thinkpad 760E Series:
-
- The Thinkpad 760E series machines have the PCI CardBus PCMCIA controller which
- requires different PCMCIA card and socket services drivers than what is
- provided with OS/2 Warp Connect. The following drivers must be manually
- unpacked from the PC Card Director v4.02 diskette series and placed on the OS/2
- Warp Connect Remote Install Disk 2:
-
- PCMCIA.SY@ -> PCMCIA.SYS
- IBM2SS14.SY@ -> IBM2SS14.SYS
- IBM2SS04.SY@ -> IBM2SS04.SYS
-
- Edit the CONFIG.SYS and remove the line for the existing socket services
- driver, BASEDEV=IBM2SS01.SYS. Add the following lines after the
- BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS line:
-
- BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS
- BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS
-
- REMark out the line&colon.
-
- BASEDEV=CMD640X.ADD
-
- Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the editor, and proceed with the installation.
-
-
- *** Installation ***
-
- Consult the README file on the Thinkpad System Update diskette for the Thinkpad
- being used and follow the instructions for use.
-
- Boot the Thinkpad from the Remote Installation diskettes and proceed through
- the first part of the installation. At the end of this stage of installation,
- at the screen which says "...Remove the Diskette and Press Enter to Restart the
- System..."; press the F3 key to exit to a command prompt. At this point,
- insert the Video Graphics Fix for OS/2 Warp and from the A:\ prompt, type
- REPVGA x where x is the drive in which OS/2 has been installed (i.e. REPVGA C
- for installation on drive C:). Remove the diskette from the drive and type
- EXIT to return back to the installation screen. Press ENTER to proceed with
- the rest of the installation.
-
- After the Thinkpad re-boots to the System Configuration Screen, select VGA for
- the video display (the installation will auto-detect a Trident 8900, this will
- not work). Fot the Thinkpad 760C and 760L series, select Thinkpad 755CE/CsE
- for PCMCIA support. For the 760E series, select No Support for PCMCIA (this is
- the default). For the 760L/LD, select Multimedia Device Support and change to
- Port Address for the ESS 688 device to 240. For the Thinkpad 760CD/LD/ED/ELD
- models, select the Thinkpad 755CD, TEAC CD-40E for CD-ROM support. Place the
- OS/2 Warp Installation diskette (not the Remote Install Disk 1!) in the floppy
- drive at this time. Select OK from the System Configuration Screen and proceed
- with the installation of desired software and networking components.
-
- Note: The ESS 688 driver may give an error on re-boot if the device was not
- previously set to Port Address 240. Ignore the error and proceed with
- the installation. Use the Thinkpad Features to set the device to 240 at
- the end of the installation.
-
-
- When this stage of the installation completes, the machine will automatically
- re-boot itself from the floppy drive. Insert the OS/2 Warp diskette 1 and
- continue to the main installation screen. Press F3 to exit to the command
- prompt. Insert the Video Graphics Fix for OS/2 Warp and from the A:\ prompt,
- type REPVGA x where x is the drive in which OS/2 has been installed (i.e.
- REPVGA C for installation on drive C:). For the 760E series machines, copy the
- PCMCIA.SYS, IBM2SS14.SYS, and IBM2SS04.SYS files from the modified Remote
- Install Disk 2 into the \OS2\BOOT subdirectory on the drive in which OS/2 is
- being installed on. Remove the diskette and re-boot the machine to complete
- the installation.
-
- Install the Thinkpad Features for OS/2 using the INSTALL2 program from the
- Thinkpad Utilities for OS/2 diskette. The INSTALL2 program can be run from
- an OS/2 window. Remove the check on the Install Personalization Editor and
- select Install to complete the installation.
-
- Note: Thinkpad Personalization can be installed and run, just make sure to
- have the Thinkpad Utilities for DOS Diskette available during the
- install.
-
-
- *** Video Installation and Considerations ***
-
- Install the Video Disk for OS/2 Warp by inserting the respective diskette for
- the Thinkpad being used and type INSTALL x, where x is the drive in which OS/2
- is installed; and follow the instructions.
-
- Note:
-
- Due to the implementation of the Trident CYBER9320 and CYBER9385 chipsets in
- the Thinkpad 760 series, a machine CAN NOT be set back to VGA using Alt-F1 on
- boot and choosing option V. This will install the default OS/2 Warp VGA drivers
- and the machine will boot to a black screen. The Alt-F1 - M option for the
- Maintenance Desktop will work, and the machine will boot back into the proper
- VGA mode afterwards. A machine can also be set back to VGA by using Selective
- Install for VGA, rebooting from diskette, and re-applying the Video Graphics
- Fix for OS/2 Warp diskette.
