SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL
STANDARD SECURITY FEATURES FOR THE 9546: The electronic personalization feature is like a name tag on your ThinkPad. Your name, contact address, or phone number can be displayed on the screen when the system is
turned on. This helps in case the ThinkPad is misplaced. The personal data is stored in the system's nonvolatile memory and is displayed with a password prompt.
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.
An HDD password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. 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 suspendmode
You can attach the Kensington** lock to the keyhole on the side of the computer. This prevents the keyboard from opening and secures the internal devices under the keyboard.
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementation of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
WARRANTY PERIOD:

System Battery: One year
LICENSING: IBM programs are licensed under the terms and conditions of the IBM License Agreements that ship with the system. Non-IBM programs are available from IBM under the terms provided by the program supplier.
WARRANTY SERVICE:
Customer Carry-in Repair (CCR) or ThinkPad EasyServ: Warranty service for the IBM ThinkPad 760E/ED new models will be provided by ThinkPad EasyServ or CCR to an authorized dealer/remarketer. ThinkPad EasyServ is a courier repair service in which the ThinkPad system will be picked up at the customer's location and delivered to a IBM designated repair location. The repair location will repair the system and return it to the customer. Charges for the courier service will be paid by IBM.
If warranty service is required, the customer should call the IBM HelpCenter . The HelpCenter will assist the user with problem isolation for hardware and software. If a hardware problem is identified, the HelpCenter will arrange for a courier to pick up 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 pick up the system for delivery to the repair location.
ThinkPad EasyServ is available in the U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico.
In the U.S.A., the ThinkPad EasyServ Overnight Repair Option is available for an additional per incident charge or via Special Bid for coverage during the warranty period. The ThinkPad EasyServ Overnight Repair Option is available Monday through Thursday only.

LIMITATIONS:
ENHANCED VIDEO AND MPEG RESTRICTIONS
When using Windows 3.1 and an MPEG file is loaded through the IBM SelectaDock I SCSI or to a network through a PCI card, two PCI IRQs need to be assigned.
When using Windows NT 3.51 and a low-speed SCSI device, such as a CD-ROM, is attached to the IBM SelectaDock I SCSI, an error occurs at start up or when the media is changed. A new driver from Adaptec (AIC78xx.SYS) will fix this problem.
Video capture/overlay/MPEG playback functions not supported are:
1024 x 768 256 color 75Hz in OS/2 Warp only.
1024 x 768 65,536 color 75Hz.
All 16 color modes.
All 1280 x 1024 modes (in OS/2 Warp only).
Virtual screen mode (such as 800 x 600 on a television or 1024 x
768 on an LCD).
MPEG-2 HHR PAL format clips cannot be played back regardless of operating system.
When using MPEG, CD-i Interactive is not supported.
When using OS/2 Warp, some CD-i CDs cannot be played.
Simultaneous use of MPEG and MWAVE DSP modem is not supported.
In OS/2 Warp, session switch operation between a full-screen session and an OS/2 Presentation Manager session is not supported on a television.
In OS/2 Warp, the video capture may be further restricted by system configuration, for example, system memory size, screen resolution, or screen refresh rate.
MPEG playback is not supported under DOS or WIN-OS/2.
In OS/2 Warp, video-in recorder cannot be used with the following applications concurrently, because it may cause the applications to hang.
Digital video (MPEG playback)
Video CD-i player (video CD playback)
Digital video (hardware accelerated playback)
Video IN recorder (video capture and overlay)
The enhanced video, such as overlay and capture, and MPEG features cannot be used concurrently.
When using video-in under OS/2 Warp, only "Ultimotion Real-Time Com-
pression" can be used as the compression type. Other compressors are
not supported even if they are listed in the compression type dialog
box.
MPEG-2 HHR transport stream is not supported under OS/2 Warp Version 3.
MPEG-2 HHR clips cannot be played back properly while attached to the ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II. You may have frame skip, macro block noise, or audio/video asynchronization.
In some applications, color or brightness differences in the dis- played image between the LCD and CRT may occur when enhanced video is enabled and video-in is selected. In this case, disable enhanced video or select video-out.
In OS/2 Warp or Windows 95, the call center will not function correctly when playing MPEG.
The MIDI/joystick port on the ThinkPad 760ED cannot be used while these MPEG options are being used.
Some types of video CDs are not supported.
MWAVE DSP LIMITATIONS
In OS/2, the concurrent use of digital audio, MIDI, and digital video applications may show some error message or the function may be unstable.
In WIN-OS/2, FaxWorks Voice sometimes fails to receive if the system is in suspend mode.
Modem, fax, and telephony features do not support PBX.
Some WAVE audio files cannot be played when using the the DSP modem.
This does not occur when using Windows 95.
MWave audio can not be played when the MWave modem is connected at 28.8Kbps. This limitation is not applicable to Windows 95.
Enabling IR on the host system during a co-sessions host session is not supported.
With voice-over-data (VOD), if the MWAVE Modem is performing simultaneous voice and data transmission, the data rate of the modem is set to 14.4bps. The VOD program is only supported in the native Windows and native DOS environments.
Sending a fax between ThinkPads may be unreliable unless both systems are at MWAVE Release 2.0.
MWAVE audio and modem features share the hardware resource of the MWAVE DSP. This concurrent usage has some restrictions. For example, while using a 28.8 Kbps modem or while receiving a fax/voice call MIDI audio performance may be affected by reducing the number of MIDI voices or by temporarily suspending MIDI play. The MIDI play will return when DSP resources become available upon completion of the modem or fax/voice tasks.
In OS/2 Warp, using a MIDI application concurrently with the modem or with digital voice applications requires that the MIDI application be opened first. Once the modem call is completed or the digital video application is closed, MIDI play will be resumed. If after completion of the modem and digital video tasks, the MIDI play
resumes with lesser quality or lower volume, it may be necessary to rewind the MIDI file or to close and reopen the MIDI application to restore full MIDI quality.
In OS/2 warp, the Mwave modem does not start automatically. It must be started manually.
For MPEG playback, sampling frequency is 44.1 KHz only.
OTHER OS/2 LIMITATIONS
In OS/2, hibernation is not supported when the drive is formatted by HPFS on a system that has more than 64MB of memory.
When a CD-i format CD is in the CD-ROM drive the system may not start correctly when using OS/2 Warp. A fix will be provided under OS/2 Warp APAR PJ19669.
OS/2 Digital Video player may fail to play some AVI format video files.
When a second HDD is in the ThinkPad UltraBay, it cannot be formatted by the OS/2 Warp FDISK program after being assigned as the logical drive. A fix will be provided under OS/2 Warp APAR PJ19672.
Some optional features or applications may use the COM1 port. OS/2 Warp Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM1 port is already in use. Only one such feature or application that uses the COM1 (for example, communications or PCMCIA) can be used at a time.
The OS/2 Warp FixPak XR0W009 is required for audio and video support for Indeo**-format video file playback.
SUSPEND/RESUME LIMITATIONS
OS/2 MWave audio needs to be stopped before entering suspend mode.
When using Windows 3.11, ensure that Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed.
During suspend mode, the maximum power output becomes 60 mA at 12V. During suspend mode, PCMCIA cards cannot consume more than 60 mA at 12V.
Do NOT remove or install PC cards during suspend mode.
If the system is suspended/resumed during the following operations, unpredictable results may occur. The application should be closed before entering suspend or hibernation.
Audio record
Video playback or record
Playback of MPEG file, AVI file, video CD, CD-i
Active communications in DOS box (modem use) - application may
hang
DOS games
In Windows 95, if MWAVE DSP is disabled using the Device Manager,
you can not use suspend/resume feature.
OTHER LIMITATIONS
When an external VGA CRT is attached, the display setting in the ThinkPad setup features must be set to LCD or CRT but not to both.
A video capture adapter that requires VGA pass-through (video pass- through, VESA bus) is not supported by the 760E/ED and the IBM Docking Stations.
When SelectaDock Model I is being used with a SCSI driver installed, suspend/resume function and warm/hot docking are not supported. The exception is that Windows 95 supports warm/hot docking even when SCSI driver is installed.
When PCI card or ISA card is being used with a SelectaDock Model I, suspend/resume is not supported.
Simultaneous use of IR and other timing-critical or computation-intensive applications, such as communications and multimedia, is not recommended.
The fixed mode of IR communication should be used only with IR devices that support only that mode, not with ThinkPad systems.
ESS audio Device driver is not CID installable.
PCMCIA LIMITATIONS
The ATA PCMCIA card is not supported when using Microsoft Windows NT.
These systems support CardBus PC cards that draw a maximum of 2.64 watts (0.8 A at 3.3 V DC).
PCMCIA diagnostics programs usually do not recognize slot numbers greater than two. To diagnose a suspected faulty card, make sure the PCMCIA card is in one of the PCMCIA slots of the system proper.
Point enablers usually do not support slot numbers above two. If using a PCMCIA card with a point enabler, make sure that the card is in a slot on the system proper.
PC card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended.
When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to be used.
Before removing storage PCMCIA PC cards, such as hard disk, flash memory, or SRAM, the computer must be turned off or the PCMCIA slot must be powered off.
