The IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P systems and the IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator Model I conform to the PCMCIA PC Card Standard Release 2.01 and the PCMCIA Card and Socket Services Specification Release 2.0, dated November 1992. o The ThinkPad systems have been designed so that the customer can install or remove the PCMCIA card without turning off the system if the PCMCIA card supports this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. o When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot there may be some cable interference. o PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services Release 2.0. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that can not be anticipated. Also point enablers may interfere with Client Device Drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services Release 2.0. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended. o The video capture adapter, which requires VGA pass-through (video pass-through, VESA bus), is not supported by the ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P and the IBM ThinkPad Dock I. o The IBM ThinkPad 750, 750C and 750P Audio Features Diskette Version 1.0 included with the system does not contain an IBM OS/2 audio device driver that allows you to use OS/2 audio functions. An upgrade is available at no charge, beginning November 1, 1993. Upgrade requests must be made by January 31, 1994. In the U.S., call IBM at 800-845-4263. In Canada, call IBM HelpPC at 800-565-3344. Ask for your copy of the ThinkPad 750 Audio Features Upgrade. o When the ThinkPad systems are working under the Windows environment, removal and installation of a PCMCIA card is not supported during the power-on state. o OS/2 Communications Manager Version 1.0 does not support the IBM PCMCIA 3270 Emulator (0933315). o The IBM Car Battery Adapter only supports a +12V car battery socket. Any other voltage may damage the IBM Car Battery Adapter or the ThinkPad system. o When the IBM Car Battery Adapter is used, the battery is charged while the system unit is turned off. o The car battery adapter may not function on some European cars. o The TV Tuner Pack and Analog-to-Digital Video Converter Adapter optional features are supported on the ThinkPad 750C only. o When the audio device driver is disabled, periodic noise will be heard with some applications (such as IBM Story Board Live). To avoid the noise, it is recommended to enable the audio feature (audio feature is enabled by the default setting): - Enable the audio device by PS2.EXE (DOS) or ThinkPad feature (Windows 3.1, OS/2) - Install the audio feature by following the instructions "Installing the Audio Device Driver" in the USER'S GUIDE. o The IBM 8516 "touch screen" color display requires the TrackPoint (TM) II to be disabled before connecting it to the external display connector. To disable the TrackPoint II, follow the instructions provided in the IBM THINKPAD 750, 750CS, 750C AND 750P USER'S GUIDE. o High performance BIOS uses 128KB of system memory. o The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port. o High Speed PCMCIA Data/Fax Modem V.32bis data compression is limited by applications that use the BIOS controlling the serial port. Data compression for applications that do not bypass the BIOS is limited to 19.2Kbps. Many applications bypass the BIOS, hence, they allow data compression approaching the theoretical limit of 57.6Kbps or four times the data compression. o The PRODIGY service will not run without an appropriate modem. A modem is not included with the IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P systems. A customer who acquires the IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C or 750P system and a modem may contact PRODIGY to obtain a one-month free membership. o The IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P NiMH Battery Pack has a limited warranty period of one year. o The IBM ThinkPad 750 CDPD Mobile Communications Module is not supported on the ThinkPad 750P. o The IBM ThinkPad Dock I built-in SCSI controller supports up to five SCSI devices (internal and external). o The IBM ThinkPad Dock I built-in SCSI controller specification for the SCSI cable length connected to each SCSI interface is three meters (approximately 10 ft) maximum. This three-meter length includes both internal SCSI cables (insides the Dock I or external SCSI device) and the external SCSI cables (outside the Dock I or external SCSI device). The Dock I internal SCSI cable length is 0.2 meters (0.7 ft). o If an IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P system with the IBM ThinkPad Dock I attached is used, then for the comfort and convenience of the user the height of the system should be adjusted or an external keyboard should be used. o The HDD password (HDP) is not supported when it is installed in the IBM ThinkPad Dock I. Remove the hard disk password while it is installed (or re-installed) in the computer, then use with the Dock I. The hard disk drive is secured by the Dock I security lock and tie-down capability. o Password prompt is not displayed when the computer resumes from "partial" Suspend mode while it is attached to the IBM ThinkPad Dock I. o PCMCIA adapter (PC card) diagnostics program usually does not support a slot number greater than two. Re-install the PCMCIA adapter into the computer PCMCIA slot (slot number one or two) to diagnose suspected failing PCMCIA adapter installed in the ThinkPad Port Replicator Model I (slot number three or four). o "Point Enabler" (one of device driver of PCMCIA adapter) does not support a slot number greater than two. A PCMCIA adapter (PC card) installed in the slot of the IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator Model I PCMCIA slot (slot number three or four) cannot be used with point enabler. o When 1.0GB Fast SCSI-2 Hard Disk Drive (#7127, 32G4198) is installed in IBM ThinkPad Dock I internal drive location, it may be necessary to limit the utilization of IBM ThinkPad Dock I expansion slot to avoid the possibility of overloading the 12 Volt power supplies. The following cards cannot be installed to expansion slot of Dock I when this hard disk drive (32G4198) is used: - IBM PC Network Adapter II - IBM PC Network Baseband Adapter - IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet - PS/ValuePoint (TM) ISA 10BaseT Ethernet Adapter - M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapter - IBM Personal System/2 Action Media II Display Adapter 2MB - IBM Mwave (TM) WindSurfer (TM) Communications Adapter OR - Other AT adapter requiring 12 Volt power exceeding 100 mA. o The maximum allowable weight to be placed on the ThinkPad Display Stand is 22 kg (48.6 pounds). o To run OS/2 2.1 on the announced systems, call 800-992-4777 to get the APAR fixes PJ09770 and PJ09807. SUSPEND MODE OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: The computer can enter Suspend mode when the PC card uses one of the following operating systems. NOTE: Do not remove or install PC cards during Suspend mode when running: o DOS 5.02, or later o Microsoft Windows 3.1 with DOS 5.02, or later. NOTE: When using Windows 3.1, ensure that the Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed by following the instructions "Installing Microsoft Windows Version 3.1, or later," in the USER'S GUIDE. Without this step, power management will not work correctly and can cause errors such as mouse problems after Suspend/Resume. o When the computer communicates with other systems via any communication PC card, the following precautions must be remembered before using the Suspend function: - When the computer is powered by the battery pack, the computer automatically turns power off to the PC card before entering Suspend mode so that the duration of Suspend mode will last longer. Therefore, the computer will not restore the communications application when it returns to normal operation from Suspend mode, except when the following PC cards are used: -- IBM PCMCIA Data/Fax Modem -- IBM High Speed PCMCIA Data/Fax Modem. To reestablish communication after Suspend mode, restart the system or the application program. Setting the automatic power saving timer (SYSTEM SUSPEND) in the Set Advanced Features Menu is valid on entering Suspend mode when any PC card is in use. Non-disruptive battery exchange allows the user to put the system in Suspend mode and exchange battery packs without any loss of data or function. PLANNING INFORMATION CABLE ORDERS: All cables are included with the system. INSTALLABILITY: The IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P systems require about 20 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install other memory, an operating system and other features. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If a failure is found at initial installation, an instruction or error code will appear on the screen. The user should note this information and refer to the USER'S GUIDE shipped with the system unit. System units that fail at installation or during a power-up sequence will automatically go to the system diagnostics to isolate the failing field replaceable unit (FRU) or refer the user to the service representative for the IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P. The troubleshooting procedures consist of a power-on self-test, diagnostic tests and easy-to-follow troubleshooting charts designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element. The failing element can then be replaced or repaired under existing warranty provisions.

SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL STANDARD SECURITY FEATURES: o Passwords - A power-on password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears: -- Each time the system is turned on -- When the system is returned to normal operation from Suspend mode. - A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears when the hardware configuration is changed. - The HDD Password (HDP) is a new feature of the IBM ThinkPad 750, 750Cs, 750C and 750P systems. It is used to protect HDD data. Once HDP is set, data on the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the HDD, the data remains protected even if the HDD is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears: -- Each time the system is turned on -- When the system is returned to normal operation from Suspend mode. o The user can use the hook on the hard disk locking mechanism to leash with a user selected padlock and chain or cable. o Vital Product Data (VPD) enabled. VPD is a software system identification. SECURITY OPTIONAL FEATURES o Security Base The Security Base acts as a cradle for the system serving as physical security that: - Bolts the system to the desk - Keylocks the system with the hard disk - Acts as a locking mechanism (padlock is user's choice) - Keylocks the Port Replicator Models I and II in the security base with PCMCIA cards (Model I) - Prevents removal of hard disk - Prevents access to the screw holes in the system - Prevents access to the system expansion and I/O connectors. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementation of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

The repair location will repair the system and return it to the customer. Charges for the courier service will be paid by IBM. If the customer has selected ThinkPad EasyServ for their post warranty maintenance delivery, when service is required, the customer should call the IBM Personal Systems HelpCenter at 800-772-2227. The HelpCenter will assist the user with problem isolation for both hardware and software. Should a hardware problem be identified the HelpCenter will arrange for a courier to pickup the system for overnight delivery (where available) to the repair location. Most repairs should be made the same day the system is received at the repair location. Customers should keep the original shipping carton for shipping to the repair location. If the original shipping carton is not available, the courier will deliver a shipping carton and return to pickup the system for delivery to the repair location.
