- Installation of OS/2 Warp version 4.0 on Thinkpad 760
-
- Revised 01/29/97
- by Jim Wilkerson
-
- This procedure is for installing OS/2 Warp version 4.0 on the IBM Thinkpad 760
- series machines. This includes the 'C', the 'L', and the 'E' series machines.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
-
- The Thinkpad should be placed on AC power prior to beginning the installation.
- Failure to do so can cause various inconsistencies in the installation which
- will prevent the system from functioning normally.
-
-
- *** 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 Utility Disk for DOS is only needed if Thinkpad Personalization is
- desired during Thinkpad Features installation.
-
-
- *** CD-ROM Considerations ***
-
- The Thinkpad 760CD/LD/ED/ELD has a port on the back of the unit which will
- allow attachment of the floppy drive externally using IBM part 66G3618. Both
- the floppy drive and the CD-ROM drive must be attached to the machine in order
- to install from CD-ROM. The floppy and CD-ROM drives can not be hot-swapped
- during installation.
-
- Non-CD Thinkpad 760 models can be installed via CD-ROM mounted in an IBM dock
- station.
-
-
- *** 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 Installation diskettes and proceed through the
- first part 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). For the 760C and 760L series, choose Thinkpad 755CE/CsE for PCMCIA
- support. For the 760E series, chose No Support for PCMCIA support (this is the
- default).
-
- For the 760L/LD and 760EL/ELD machines, 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. Select OK from the System Configuration Screen and proceed with the
- installation of desired software 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.
-
-
- *** LAN Network Support ***
-
-
- Note: This section is for LAN connected systems only. If only the Internet
- Connection via modem is required, then see the next section on 'Internet
- Connection via Modem'.
-
- For networking support installation, consult the network administrator for
- client selection. Assuming the common configuration of both LAN Requestor and
- TCP/IP support:
-
- 1. Select 'File and Print Client' for OS/2 LAN Requestor and Peer support.
-
- 2. Select 'TCP/IP Services' for TCP/IP support.
-
- Note: Eliminate Step 1 if only TCP/IP support is required, and vice versa.
-
- Select 'Next' to proceed to the 'Welcome to Configuration' panel.
-
- For the File and Print Client:
-
- 1. Select the 'File and Print Sharing Services' and from the configuration
- panel, select the installation drive to install the File and Print Client
- to. Fill in the Workstation name, the Workstation description, and the
- Domain name as supplied by the network administrator. 'LAN Server
- Administration' and 'Install Sharing' are checked by default. 'Delete
- user ID database (NET.ACC)' is not necessary unless instructed to do so
- by the network administrator.
-
- 2. Select 'Network Adapters and Protocol Services' and from the
- configuration panel, select the installation drive to install to. Change
- the network adapter by selecting 'Change adapter' and highlighting 'IBM
- PCMCIA Token-Ring Network Adapters'. Select 'OK' to continue. IBM
- NETBIOS and IBM TCP/IP are the default protocols added for the adapter.
- Add any additional protocols as instructed by the network administrator.
-
- 3. Select 'Network Adapters for File and Print Sharing' and verify that
- Adapter 0 is checked and is shown as the IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring adapter.
-
- 4. Select 'User ID and Password' and fill in the information as instructed
- by the network administrator.
-
- For TCP/IP Services:
-
- 1. Select the 'TCP/IP Services' and from the configuration panel, select the
- installation drive to install TCP/IP to. Fill in the rest of the
- required information as instructed by the network administrator.
-
- Note: TCP/IP Services do not need to be configured at this point of the
- installation. They can be configured later using the TCP/IP
- Configuration from the OS/2 System Setup folder.
-
- Select 'Install' and proceed with the rest of the installation.
-
- Note: Thinkpad Personalization can be installed and run, just make sure to
- have the Thinkpad Utility Diskette 2 available during the install.
-
-
- *** Internet Connection via Modem Support (no LAN) ***
-
-
- Note: This section is for installing only the modem version of the Internet
- Connection with no LAN connectivity.
-
- From the OS/2 Warp Setup and Installation panel for networking services, select 'TCP/IP Services' and then
- select 'Next' to proceed to the 'Welcome to Configuration' panel.
-
- Select 'Network Adapters and Protocol Services' and from the configuration
- panel, select the installation drive to install to. Change the network
- adapter by selecting 'Change adapter' and highlighting 'IBM Null MAC Driver'.
- Select 'OK' to continue. IBM TCP/IP will be the only protocol added for the
- adapter, and it is the only one necessary for the Internet Connection to
- function. Do not select TCP/IP Services from this configuration, no
- configuration is required. Select install to proceed with the installation.
-
-
- *** Installing Thinkpad Features ***
-
- 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 ***
-
- 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.
