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. File Name File SizeFile Date Description SYTPF124.EXE 408435 12/04/96 System Update Disk v1.24 - TP 760C and L SYTPG106.EXE 772762 01/28/97 System Update Disk v1.06 - TP 760E Series except 9546-U9A and 9546-U9B (XGA Models) SYTPH101.EXE 449573 12/19/96 System Update Disk v1.01 - TP 760E/ED 9546-U9A and 9546-U9B (XGA Models) UTTPGOS2.EXE 1084417 10/31/96 Utility Disk OS/2 TP 365X/XD, 560, 760 all UTTPGDOS.EXE 394200 10/31/96 Utility Disk DOS TP 365X/XD, 560, 760 all VFTPGOS2.EXE 1105510 08/26/96 Video Disk v1.10 for OS/2 Warp - TP 760 all except 760ED VFTPKOS2.EXE 1064512 08/26/96 Video Disk v1.10 for OS/2 Warp - TP 560/760ED 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.
