*** Remote Installation of OS/2 Warp Connect on Thinkpad 760
Revised 01/29/97 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 760 series machines
using the IBM Auto 16/4 PCMCIA Token Ring Card.
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.
*** 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 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.

Note: The Utility Disk for DOS is only needed if Thinkpad Personalization is
desired during Thinkpad Features installation.
A bootable OS/2 Warp Installation diskette and a diskette 1 will be required to
complete the installation. These disks can be from any version of OS/2 Warp.
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.
*** Special Note for the Thinkpad 760L Series ***
Edit the CONFIG.SYS on the OS/2 Warp Connect Remote Install Disk 2 and REMark
out the line:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the editor, and proceed with the installation.
*** Special Notes for the Thinkpad 760E Series:
The Thinkpad 760E series machines have the PCI CardBus PCMCIA controller which
requires different PCMCIA card and socket services drivers than what is
provided with OS/2 Warp Connect. The following drivers must be manually
unpacked from the PC Card Director v4.02 diskette series and placed on the OS/2
Warp Connect Remote Install Disk 2:
PCMCIA.SY@ -> PCMCIA.SYS
IBM2SS14.SY@ -> IBM2SS14.SYS
IBM2SS04.SY@ -> IBM2SS04.SYS
Edit the CONFIG.SYS and remove the line for the existing socket services
driver, BASEDEV=IBM2SS01.SYS. Add the following lines after the
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS line:
BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS
BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS
REMark out the line&colon.
BASEDEV=CMD640X.ADD
Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the editor, and proceed with the installation.
*** 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 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. At this point,
insert the Video Graphics Fix for OS/2 Warp and from the A:\ prompt, type
REPVGA x where x is the drive in which OS/2 has been installed (i.e. REPVGA C
for installation on drive C:). Remove the diskette from the drive and type
EXIT to return back to the installation screen. 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). Fot the Thinkpad 760C and 760L series, select Thinkpad 755CE/CsE
for PCMCIA support. For the 760E series, select No Support for PCMCIA (this is
the default). For the 760L/LD, 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. Place the
OS/2 Warp Installation diskette (not the Remote Install Disk 1!) in the floppy
drive at this time. Select OK from the System Configuration Screen and proceed
with the installation of desired software and 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. Use the Thinkpad Features to set the device to 240 at
the end of the installation.
When this stage of the installation completes, the machine will automatically
re-boot itself from the floppy drive. Insert the OS/2 Warp diskette 1 and
continue to the main installation screen. Press F3 to exit to the command
prompt. Insert the Video Graphics Fix for OS/2 Warp and from the A:\ prompt,
type REPVGA x where x is the drive in which OS/2 has been installed (i.e.
REPVGA C for installation on drive C:). For the 760E series machines, copy the
PCMCIA.SYS, IBM2SS14.SYS, and IBM2SS04.SYS files from the modified Remote
Install Disk 2 into the \OS2\BOOT subdirectory on the drive in which OS/2 is
being installed on. Remove the diskette and re-boot the machine to complete
the installation.
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 and Considerations ***
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.
Note:
Due to the implementation of the Trident CYBER9320 and CYBER9385 chipsets in
the Thinkpad 760 series, a machine CAN NOT be set back to VGA using Alt-F1 on
boot and choosing option V. This will install the default OS/2 Warp VGA drivers
and the machine will boot to a black screen. The Alt-F1 - M option for the
Maintenance Desktop will work, and the machine will boot back into the proper
VGA mode afterwards. A machine can also be set back to VGA by using Selective
Install for VGA, rebooting from diskette, and re-applying the Video Graphics
Fix for OS/2 Warp diskette.
