TP 560 - Remote installation Of OS/2 Warp Connect
Applicable to: World-Wide
Service Information:
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 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:
Click 
here to obtain the necessary diskettes.
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 diskette 1. The INSTALL2 program can be run from an OS/2 window. Remove the check on the Install Personalization Editor and select Install. Insert the Utilities Disk 3 when prompted to complete the installation.
Note:
Thinkpad Personalization can be installed and run, just make sure to have the Thinkpad Utility Diskette 2 available durin g 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.
