TP 760 - Remote installation Of 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 760 series machines using the IBM Auto 16/4 PCMCIA Token Ring Card.
Preliminary Setup:
To obtain the necessary drivers, click here.
Note:
Utility Disk 2 is only needed if Thinkpad Personalization is installed.
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 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
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 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 Utility diskette 3 when prompted and select OK 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.
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.
