ThinkPad Feature support the following function depends on your system you use. Supported Function Applicable ThinkPad Models --------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Device Configuration and All ThinkPad model Setup Fuel Gauge monitor All ThinkPad model Personalization Editor All ThinkPad model Suspend/Resume ThinkPad 755CE/CD/CX/CV/CDV Power Management All 760/560/365X Family Diskette Drive/CD-ROM drive 760E/760ED/760EL/760ELD only Warm swap in Ultra bay 2.1.6.2.1 Consideration of Suspend/Resume on ThinkPad ----------------------------------------------------- Suspend/Resume feature is supported on most of ThinkPad models under Windows NT once you install the ThinkPad Utility or power management driver. However, if the system is connected to the docking station or if some PC Card is inserted in the PCMCIA slot, the suspend operation will set the system going into STANDBY mode when the system is used with AC mode operation. This is to avoid the problems such as communication link break or failure when the system is operational with the network environment. 2.1.6.2.2 FDD Drive/CD-ROM drive warm swapping on 760E ------------------------------------------------------ This feature is supported only for 760E/760ED/760EL/760ELD models. In order to use this function, you must install Windows NT PIIX IDE device driver that is contained in the ThinkPad Utility Disk. Installing the ThinkPad PIIX IDE driver --------------------------------------- 1. Boot Windows NT 3.51 on your computer. 2. Close any running applications. 3. From the Program Manager, double click on "Windows NT Setup" in the "Main" group. 4. Select "Options"!"Add\Remove SCSI Adapters" from the menu bar. 5. From the "SCSI Adapter Setup" dialog box, click on the "Add..." button to add a new driver. 6. Setup will show a message box explaining how to recover from a bad installation. Select the "OK" button. 7. The "Select SCSI Adapter Option" dialog box will appear; select "Other (Requires a disk from a hardware manufacturer)" from the "Adapter:" list box. 8. Next, the "Insert Diskette" dialog box will appear; insert the installation diskette into drive A:> (default). NOTE: If the installation files are located elsewhere, it will be necessary to specify the appropriate path to these files in the text box. Press <Enter> to continue. 9. The "Select OEM Option" dialog box will appear; select "IBM ThinkPad PIIX IDE Driver" and click "OK" . 10. The "Select SCSI Adapter Option" dialog box will reappear with "IBM ThinkPad PIIX IDE Driver" now appearing in the "Adapter:" list box. Click on the "Install" button. 11. The "Windows NT Setup" dialog box will appear prompting for the path of the installation files. Enter the path for the installation files; the default is "A:\". Click on the "Continue" button. 12. If installation was successful, the "SCSI Adapter Setup" dialog box will reappear, and "IBM THinkPad PIIX PIIX IDE" will be listed. 13. Select "Close" to exit "SCSI Adapter Setup", exit "Windows NT Setup". 14. Windows NT prompts you to restart your computer before the new settings will take affect. Click "No" to proceed for the next step. After installation, the PIIXIDE.SYS file is stored in the c:\<Win NT directory>\System32\Drivers directory. Next step is to setup warp swap option that should be proceeded with the following two steps: TPFDD.EXE and TPSWAP.EXE are provided to support this feature. These two programs are included in the ThinkPad Utility Disk. Setup Warm Swap Options ----------------------- 1. Activate the internal FDD drive in Ultra Bay as the primary drive When the system is booted without FDD drive mounted in the Ultra Bay, external FDD is assumed as the active FDD port. To change the active FDD port to be assigned for the Ultra Bay FDD port regardless of the actual drive presence, one utility command is required to run. Enter "TPFDD.EXE I" from the DOS command prompt. This enables the FDD port always active in the Ultra Bay side. This command is required only once as long as you keep using the FDD or CD-ROM in the Ultra Bay. If you want to reset this setting to the default value enabling to activate the external FDD port, Enter "TPFDD.EXE E" on the DOS command prompt. 2. Set the Warm Swap Option Type "TPSWAP.EXE E" from the command prompt. This enables the warm swap feature. If you want to disable this feature, type "TPSWAP.EXE D". The default mode is disable the warp swap feature. Note that you must restart the Windows NT to make this warm swap feature effective. 2.1.6.3 ThinkPad Features for 345C/370C --------------------------------------- This section applies only for ThinkPad 345C/370C since power management feature is not supported. Fuel Gauge program suspend icon on 345C/370C -------------------------------------------- On the fuel gauge screen, clicking the "suspend icon" must not be used to avoid the erroneous situation on Windows NT. Setting the system to go into suspend mode will cause erroneous situations on Windows NT such as delay of time of day clock during suspend and erroneous power down for certain devices after resuming the system. If you use sound device, PCMCIA devices, and timer device for example, suspend the system will not restore the device context after resume. There is a "hibernation" icon on the same menu but using the hibernation function is NOT recommended because of the same reasons as suspend. Suspend/Resume options at power mode setting -------------------------------------------- If you set "Will not suspend even if LCD is closed" as an option at Suspend/Resume options on power mode icon menu, this option is used in the following manner in a Windows NT environment: This option allows not only inhibiting the suspend operation if the LCD is closed, but also inhibits ANY suspend condition such as Fn+F4 suspend key, suspend selection at battery gauge icon menu, automatic suspend with suspend timer and low battery suspend. To set this mode effective, click this option on the menu and "save" it. Then shutdown and restart NT. When you boot NT, this mode becomes effective. WARNING: YOU MUST MANUALLY SHUTDOWN THE SYSTEM WHEN LOW BATTERY CONDITION OCCURS. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT GO TO SUSPEND AUTOMATICALLY AT LOW POWER BATTERY. Inhibiting suspend operation ---------------------------- You can inhibit the automatic timer suspend operation using the "Power" mode menu on ThinkPad Features. Unless you specify "Will not suspend even if LCD is closed" option at suspend/resume option, it is required at least to set the following power mode in order to avoid going to suspend: - Set the "Power Mode" to "Customized" - Set the "Suspend time" to "0" (disable timer suspend) Save the above option in the Power Mode menu. - Click "Fuel gauge" icon to open the fuel gauge program - Double click the "Current Power Mode" icon until power mode icon changes to "Customized" mode. Customized power mode is now becomes effective. Disabling automatic suspend will avoid the erroneous situation occurring on Windows NT. This is minimum thing that should be done in order to avoid automatic suspend either in AC power mode or battery power mode. 2.1.7.

For more information, refer to Microsoft Windows NT Workstation System Guide. To enable suspend/resume feature for audio driver ------------------------------------------------- In order to allow the suspend/resume function on Windows NT, it is required to install the latest Windows NT ThinkPad Feature Program. 2.1.8. Using Windows NT 3.51 on ThinkPad 345C/370C -------------------------------------------------- When you use ThinkPad 345C or 370C, special consideration is required to run Windows NT Workstation V3.51. During/after installing Windows NT on these machines, diskette drive does not work on these system. To be able to use FDD drive, you must replace NTDETECT.COM file which fix this problem. To replace the file, take the following steps: Replacing NTDETECT.COM ---------------------- 1. If you install Windows NT using Windows NT Setup Boot Disk, the original NTDETECT.COM should not be used. Make the back up copy of the original disk and overwrite with new NTDETECT.COM which should be located in the root directory of the Setup Boot Disk. 2. During the installation of Windows NT, you may continue to install using Windows NT CD-ROM. In this case, the original NTDETECT.COM is copied to NT install drive even if Setup Boot Disk has new NTDETECT.COM. In this case, take the following to steps. 3. Original NTDETECT.COM is read only, hidden system file located in the root directory of the NT install drive. Use ATTRIB command to change the file attribute to change the file attribute: ATTRIB -r -h -s NTDETECT.COM 4. Copy the new NTDETECT.COM to overwrite. Restart Windows NT. Note: If you copy the new NTDETECT.COM from the diskette drive, you must boot the system with DOS. If you run NT, you can not access floppy drive to do this. 2.1.9 Using ThinkPad Mwave/DSP Features on Windows NT 3.51 ----------------------------------------------------------- On Windows NT Workstation 3.51, Mwave/DSP Features are supported on DSP featured ThinkPad models, 755CE/755CD/755CX/755CDV/760C/760CD/760E/760ED. Using Windows NT Mwave Feature program, you may be able to use Mwave Modem Function for 28.8K Data modem, run FAX application, MIDI/Mwave Sound multimedia application, CD-Audio playback function under Windows NT Workstation. 2.1.9.1 Installing Mwave for Windows NT 3.51 --------------------------------------------- o If you use Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS), RAS must be installed first BEFORE Mwave NT driver is installed. When Mwave driver is installed, RAS original MODEM.INF file is updated by Mwave installer. So, make sure that RAS installation is completed. o To install Windows NT Mwave driver, you must have ThinkPad Feature program installed to set or change Mwave DSP resource setting. o In order to use MIDI, you must install MIDI sample files which are on separate diskettes. These MIDI sample diskettes are common diskette used for Window 3.1 or Windows 95. Installing Mwave driver for Windows NT -------------------------------------- To perform an installation of Mwave under Windows NT: - Place installation disk #1 in your disk drive - Select "RUN" from Program Manager's "File" menu - Type A:\SETUP in the OPEN window - Select "OK" or press Enter NOTE: For Windows NT, the DAA options diskette is not required. NOTE: Non-US users must run the Country Selection Application AFTER Mwave installation and reboot. Reboot again after running the Country Selection Application. NOTE: To support suspend/resume power management for Mwave features, ThinkPad Utility must be installed if your computer is 760C/ 760CD/760E/760ED. You must install ThinkPad Power Management Support Diskette if your computer is 755CE/CD/CX/CDV for suspend/resume function. NOTE: To run Mwave under Windows NT, your computer must have a minimum of 16 MB of RAM. Installing MIDI Samples in Windows NT ------------------------------------- In order to use MIDI, you must install the MIDI Samples. This is a separate installation.

Use your ThinkPad Feature program to select a COM port for the modem. Then, use the Windows NT Control Panel to define the same port. Follow these steps: 1. On 755 family ThinkPad, double click the DSP icon in ThinkPad Feature program. The DSP dialog box appears. On 760 family ThinkPad, double-click ThinkPad Features icon. The telephone icon appears. 2. Choose one of the COM ports shown in the Telephony Function box. A message appears if the COM port is already in use. 3. Choose the Save button. On 760 family, chose OK button to save the COM port enabled. 4. In the Main group, double-click the Control Panel icon. Then double-click the Ports icon. 5. Verify that the list of COM ports includes the COM port that you chose in your ThinkPad Feature. If not, choose the Add button. If the port is listed, double-click it. 6. On the Advanced Settings dialog box, choose settings as shown in the following table: BASE I/O COM PORT PORT ADDRESS IRQ COM1 03F8 4 COM2 02F8 3 COM3 03E8 4 COM4 02E8 3 We also recommend that you select the FIFO Enabled checkbox. 7. Choose the OK button. If you have made any changes, you must shut down and restart the com- puter in order for the changes to take effect. 2.1.9.3 Tips for Mwave/DSP Feature program -------------------------------------------- Some useful hints/limitations are fully documented in README.TXT of Windows NT Mwave install disk1. Read this document for the details. o Currently, the following features are not provided: - Speaker phone/answering machine - SoundBlaster game support - Class-1 FAX o Suspending during MIDI/WAVE play may not recover properly after the system is resumed. Discontinue MIDI/WAVE play prior to entering Suspend Mode. o Setting the music option playing with Pinball Game causes the game to play slowly. Avoid setting this option. o Read FAQs about the each specific modem application/FAX application/ multimedia applications for more details. These information are documented in README.TXT in Windows NT Mwave Install Disk 1. -------------------------------------------- 3.0. Known limitations with Windows NT 3.51 -------------------------------------------- o Currently, the following functions are not provided on Windows NT 3.51 - Infra-Red, IBM MPEG-II (ThinkPad 760CD/760ED), enhanced video function such as video overlay/video capture features are not supported. o Following are the special consideration required on Windows NT 3.51 - Suspend/Resume are not supported on ThinkPad 345C/370C. Power Management function is limited. Even if suspend/resume is supported on some other ThinkPad models, using Hibernation function is limited as follows: If Windows NT system partition is created with NTFS, hibernation is not supported. Another limitation is if system is booted using the hibernation file, PCMCIA slot is not powered on. Shutdown and restart Windows NT to use the PCMCIA card. - Battery life may become shorter depending on the memory size, and types of things you do with Windows NT. Since Windows NT does not support advanced power management functions such as CPU power saving function or idle detection. Pay attention to the fuel gauge to monitor the battery life during the operation. - When using audio feature on ThinkPad 365X/560 series, I/O address conflict may occur if Token Ring adapter card is used together. Change the base I/O address of either Token Ring card (A20h) or the the default audio device base I/O address (220h) using the ThinkPad Feature Program. - When ISA adapter card such as network adapter cards are used with IBM docking unit, disable unused system devices such as Mwave modem, IR port if available IRQ for the specific ISA card is constrained. On ThinkPad 760 family, the default configuration for the system device uses many IRQs that constrains using for the ISA cards in the docking unit. Recommended to use IRQ =7 if the default configuration is required when the ISA card is used, especially with IBM Dock-II. - The number of PCMCIA devices is limited. Supported PCMCIA devices are listed on the Microsoft Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List. - On all ThinkPad 760E series (760E/ED/EL/ELD), IRQ 15 can not be allocated for PCMCIA card because this IRQ is reserved for the internal use. Assign the different IRQ number for any PCMCIA card. - To use a PCMCIA card, it must be inserted in the PCMCIA slot before Windows NT is started. Inserting or removing the card after Windows NT is started is not supported. Only cold insertion for PCMCIA cards is activated. On ThinkPad 755CD/CDV, PCMCIA ATA storage cards are not recognized because the internal CD-ROM is used as the secondary IDE which conflicts with the resource allocated for PCMCIA IDE under Windows NT. When you use a PCMCIA Hard Disk Card on ThinkPad 760CD/760LD, it needs to disable CD-ROM/Second HDD at Ultra Bay. On ThinkPad 760E/ED/ELD/EL, PCMCIA ATA cards are not supported. - When Adaptec SlimSCSI (APA-1460)PCMCIA card is used on ThinkPad 760E family, IRQ 11 is allocated for SlimSCSI card. But IRQ 11 is also reserved as the default interrupt number for the PCI devices. To avoid the conflict of the interrupt number, change the default 1st IRQ (IRQ11) to IRQ15 on PCI Device Setup menu/Docking Station Advanced Setup menu using the ThinkPad Feature Program. - Windows NT supports IBM Dock-I, IBM Dock-II,IBM SelectaDock Base model 1 and IBM SelectaDock I or II. However, hot/warm docking is not supported. To use the device in the Docking station, you must only do cold docking for the docking devices. o On ThinkPad 760C/CD, the System Flash ROM which has the following part number does not work when Windows NT SVGA video driver is installed: ROM P/N : 91G1225 (dated 09/25/95) Check your System ROM part number by invoking EasySetup. If your ROM has this part number, it is required to update the System Flash ROM with the latest one. Flash ROM update diskettes will be available in BBS, DOSCSD, CompuServe. ************* END OF DOCUMENT ************************************************
