*** Remote Installation of OS/2 Warp Connect on Thinkpad 560 ***
Revised 12/05/96
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 560 series machines
using the IBM Auto 16/4 PCMCIA Token Ring Card.
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. Make sure that the external
floppy drive is secure in its port. Remove the Thinkpad from any dock station.
*** Preliminary Setup ***
Obtain the following files from IBM, run each from a temporary directory and
follow the instructions to create the diskettes as listed.

desired during Thinkpad Features installation.
*** Installation ***
Consult the README file on the Thinkpad System Update diskette and follow the
instructions for use.
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.
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. Use the TEDIT editor
to edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the installable drive and remove the following
two lines:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD
Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the editor. 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). Choose Thinkpad 755CE/CsE for PCMCIA support. Select Multimedia
Device Support and change to Port Address for the ESS 688 device to 240.
Select OK from the System Configuration Screen and proceed with the
installation of desired software 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. This can be corrected at the end of the installation
using the Thinkpad Features to set the device to 240.
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 Utility Diskette 2 available during the install.
Installation of the PC Card Director v4.02 is not necessary unless the features
of this version are desired. Install the PC Card director by running the
PCMINST2 command from the PC Card Director for OS/2 and Win95 v4.02 diskette.
*** Video Installation ***
Insert the Video Features for OS/2 Warp diskette and type INSTALL x from the A:
prompt, where x is the drive in which OS/2 is installed; and follow the
instructions.
