- 2.1.6.2 ThinkPad Features Usage Note
- ------------------------------------
-
- This section describes how to use the ThinkPad Features, Fuel Gauge Program
- and Personalization Editor. Refer to ThinkPad Features Online Help for the
- general information. This section contains some unique information associated
- with the Windows NT environment which is not included in the Online Help.
-
- ThinkPad Feature supports the following function depends on your system.
-
- 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 All ThinkPad model
- Power Management
-
-
- 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 all ThinkPad model under Windows NT
- once you install the ThinkPad Utility or power management driver.
-
- However, if the system is connected to the docking station or when some PC Card
- is inserted in the PCMCIA slot, the suspend operation will set the system
- entering into STANDBY mode if the system is used with AC power mode.
- This is to avoid the problems such as communication link break or failure
- when the system is used with the network environment.
-
-
- If you set the suspend timer using the ThinkPad Utility with power mode settings,
- suspend will be initiated automatically after the time out value if no activity
- is detected by the system. However, if your computer has CD-ROM drive and
- enable "AutoRun" feature, computer will not enter into the suspend mode.
-
- You must disable CD-ROM AutoRun Feature if the timer suspend is required.
- To disable AutoRun feature, set the following key in the registry:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\
-
- "Autorun: 0x1" --> change to "Autorun: 0"
-
- Autorun is enabled by the default on Windows NT 4.0.
-
-
-
- 2.1.6.2.2 FDD Drive/CD-ROM drive warm swapping on 760E
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- The ThinkPad PIIX IDE device driver loads the IDE device driver for the
- UltraBay. This UltraBay in the IBM ThinkPad provides the capability to use
- different devices such as a CD-ROM, diskette drive, disk drive or a battery.
- The first step in this section is to install the device driver ThinkPad
- PIIX IDE.
-
- Once the driver is successfully installed, the diskette drive in the UltraBay
- needs to be enabled. Up to this point the device residing in the ThinkPad's
- UltraBay is a CD-ROM used during the installation of Windows NT. The diskette
- drive is located in the FDD External Attachment Kit connected to the back of
- the ThinkPad. Therefore, NT only recognize the external diskette drive as the
- only and primary diskette drive in the system.
-
- To enable the internal diskette drive port (in the UltraBay) the Utility
- Diskette provides the command, TPFDD.EXE. This command is used at a C: prompt
- with two parameters:
-
- Command Result
- ------- -------
- TPFDD I (I = Internal)
- Enables the diskette drive in the UltraBay as
- the primary diskette drive in the system.
-
- If two diskette drives are installed, one in the
- UltraBay and one in the FDD External Attachment
- Kit, then the UltraBay's diskette drive will be
- A: drive and the external diskette drive will
- become the B: drive.
-
- TPFDD E (E = External)
- Disable the diskette drive as the primary diskette
- drive in the UltraBay.
-
- TPSWAP.EXE is the another command available for NT 4.0. This command works
- together with the previous command, TPFDD. Once the diskette drive in the
- UltraBay is enabled, "warm swapping" may be possible by executing the command
- TPSWAP.
-
- TPSWAP E (E = Enable)
- Enables "warm swap" support which means UltraBay
- devices can be exchanged while the system is in
- suspend mode. When the keyboard is lifted the ThinkPad
- system enters suspend mode automatically.
-
- For example, during the suspend mode you may exchange
- a CD-ROM for a diskette drive or vice versa without
- having to reboot the system. This is called "warm"
- swapping.
-
- TPSWAP D (D = Disable)
- Disables "warm swapping".
-
-

-
- This file activates the diskette drive port in the UltraBay side. This
- command is required only once as long as you keep using the diskette
- drive or CD-ROM in the UltraBay. To disable the internal diskette drive
- bring it to its default setting, execute the command "TPFDD E".
- 11. Type "TPSWAP E" from the MS-DOS command prompt.
-
- This enables the warm swap feature. If you want to disable this feature,
- type "TPSWAP D".

- for the Mwave installation program to do this for you automatically,
- so you must use the Windows NT Control Panel to manually configure
- the communication port and add the modem.
-
- Step 1 is to configure the communication port.
- Once you've completed the first step, the Mwave Modem will then be
- recognized by Windows NT. You can then begin using communication
- applications that don't require Unimodem support.
-
-
- Use the ThinkPad Setup utility (for ThinkPad 755 computers) or
- ThinkPad Features program (for ThinkPad 760 computers) to select a COM
- port for your modem. Then use the Windows NT Control Panel to define
- the same port.

- the COM port verification procedure.
-
- 1. From the Windows NT Start menu,
- choose Programs -> ThinkPad -> ThinkPad Features.
- 2. Click on the Modem button. (It looks like a handset phone.)
- 3. In the Internal Modem dialog box, choose a COM port.
- 4. Click on the OK button.
-
- To verify the COM port that you have chosen, follow these steps:
-
- 1. From the Windows NT Start menu, choose Settings -> Control Panel.
- Then double-click the Ports icon.
- 2. Verify that the list of COM ports includes the COM port that you
- chose in your ThinkPad setup. If not, choose the Add button. If
- the port is listed, double-click it.
- 3. 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
-
- You must also select the FIFO Enabled checkbox.
-
-
- Notes:
- If you use PCMCIA modem cards together with Mwave modem, Mwave modem
- must be configured as COM2. Assign COM1 for PCMCIA modem card if you
- need the PCMCIA modem card concurrently used.
-
- 4. 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.
-
-
-
- Step 2 is to use the Control Panel to add the modem. This will
- allow you to use communication applications that use
- the Unimodem facility of Windows NT, such as HyperTerminal and Dial-Up
- Networking.
-
- Step2: Add Mwave modem for communication applications:
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- a. From the Windows NT Start menu, choose Settings -> Control Panel.
- b. Double-click the Modems icon.
- c. If you don't already have a modem installed, you will immediately
- see the "Install New Modem" dialog. If you already have a modem
- installed, select the "Add..." button to open the "Install New Modem"
- dialog.
- d. Select the "Next" button. Windows NT will start searching for the
- modem.
- e. If successful, Windows NT will report that it has found a modem of
- type "IBM ThinkPad 28.8 Mwave Data Fax." If Windows NT fails to
- detect a modem, verify that your communication port was configured
- correctly in step 1, and then retry step 2. Remember that the
- changes you make using the "Ports" applet of Control Panel will not
- take effect until you restart Windows NT.
- f. Select the "Next" button and follow the remaining instructions
- provided by Control Panel.
-
- After completing step 2, you should be able to use your Mwave modem
- with all modem communication applications supported by Windows NT 4.0.

- the default audio device base I/O address (220h) using the ThinkPad
- Feature Program.
-
- - When ISA adapter card, such as network adapter card, is used with IBM
- docking unit, disable unused internal devices such as Mwave modem, IR
- to assign the IRQ for your specific ISA card. On ThinkPad
- 760 family, the default configuration for internal device occupies many
- IRQs that constrains allocation for the ISA cards in the docking unit.
- You are recommended to assign IRQ =7 for your ISA card if most of the
- internal devices must be used together, specifically used with IBM Dock-II
- environment.
-
- - The number of PCMCIA devices is limited. Supported PCMCIA devices
- are listed on the Microsoft Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List.
-
- 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 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.
-
- - 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 the CD-ROM/Second HDD in the UltraBay.
-
- - On ThinkPad 760E/ED/ELD/EL, PCMCIA ATA cards will not work if ATA card
- IRQ is set to IRQ=15.
-
- - 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.
-
- - When the Xircom Credit card adapter Ethernet+28.8K modem card is used in the
- PCMCIA slot located in the IBM Docking station (IBM Dock-II/Selecta
- Dock-I/II) or located in the port replicator, Ethernet communication
- performance is significantly degraded. Use the PCMCIA slot located in the
- system unit side when this card is required.
-
- - When the IBM PCMCIA Token Ring card is used together with ThinkPad 560, it
- may cause the slow performance when file transfer is activated using
- FTP GET command. In this case, avoid using the NT 4.0 standard Token
- Ring Driver (IBM Token Ring(ISA/PCMCIA) Adapter) but install the
- another Token Ring driver (Auto 16/4 Token Ring PC Card driver) which is
- available as TRCC1.EXE in PCCo. NT Web support page.
- When installing this driver, modify the PCMCIA Data Base Registry as
- follows:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia\DateBase\IBM\
- TOKENRING
-
- Driver:ibmtok --> change to "Driver:ibmtkpcm"
-
-
- - Windows NT supports IBM Dock-I, IBM Dock-II,IBM SelectaDock Base model 1
- and IBM SelectaDock I/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.
