Applicable to: World-Wide
At A Glance
The new IBM ThinkPad 560X is being added to IBM's acclaimed ThinkPad 560 product line.
Think of these standard features:
This slim and light ThinkPad 560X model is a mere 1.2 inches thick and just 4.1 pounds(1) including the battery.
The ThinkPad 560X model has a 12.1-inch TFT(2) (measured diagonally) display with 800 x 600 resolution and Windows(R) 95 preinstalled.
The system comes standard with a 233MHz(3) Pentium(R) processor with MMX(TM) technology, 256KB of L2 cache, and 4.0GB(4) hard disk drive. Sound Blaster Pro audio applications are supported. Available options include your choice of port replicators, an additional Li-Ion battery, memory options, and more.
The best thing about the ThinkPad 560X is that you get top notch performance and a wide range of function -- all in a slim profile and lightweight package. A ThinkPad 560X system combined with the new optional Enhanced Port Replicator can easily support all your computing needs at your desk, and still give you the flexibility to take only the essentials with you when you are on the go.

LIMITATIONS
WINDOWS 95 LIMITATIONS
When suspend is attempted with a USB camera attached, the suspend will fail and the camera will be disabled. If this happens, unplug the camera from the USB port and plug it in again. The camera will then be re-enabled.
When one CardBus card is already configured in the system slot or port replicator slot, the second CardBus card must be configured using the system icon in Control Panel. The second CardBus card cannot be configured automatically.
OS/2 LIMITATIONS
When using Warp Version 4, FixPak FX_M002, or later, is required. Hibernation is not supported when the drive is formatted in HPFS on a system that has more than 64MB of memory. OS/2 Digital Video Player may fail to play some AVI format video files.
Switching the display devices from CRT to LCD is not supported in 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 resolutions.
If the COM port is configured correctly, but does not work, do the following:
1. Go to System Setup
2. Select Hardware Manager
3. Select Folder from the menu item
4. Select Properties
5. Under the default pulldown menu, select "NO HARDWARE DETECTION" (or change the setting if "NO HARDWARE DETECTION" is already selected)
6. Go to ThinkPad Configuration
7. Set up COM port as you want
8. Reboot the system
Video window does not fit in the frame, when using 640x480 desk top with expansion.
Customer work around:
1. Do not use Screen Expansion or
2. Use 800x600 screen
Screen sometimes freezes after changing video vertical refresh rate.
Customer work around:
1. Boot twice after refresh rate is changed
2. Use refresh rate change panel in OS/2 itself
WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION LIMITATIONS
Hibernation is not supported in Windows NT 4.0 when the drive is formatted for NTFS.
SUSPEND/RESUME LIMITATIONS
RI resume is only supported in CardSoft mode with CardWorks under Windows 95.
The system will go to suspend if any PCMCIA communication cards, including the following, are used.
1. IBM 3270 Emulation Credit Card Adapter
2. IBM 5250 Emulation Credit Card Adapter
3. IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Credit Card Adapter
4. IBM Credit Card Adapter for Ethernet
Do not remove or install PC cards during suspend mode. If the system is suspended/resumed during the following operations,
unpredictable results may occur.
1. Audio record or playback
2. Video record or playback
3. Playback of MPEG file, AVI file, video CD, CD-i
4. Active communications (PCMCIA modem) in OS/2 applications may hang.
5. DOS games
Under Window NT 4.0, ATA cards do not go into suspend/hibernate if AT card is mounted in AC mode.
OTHER LIMITATIONS
LANDesk Client Manger (LDCM) cannot be installed if NetFinity has already been installed. NetFinity and LDCM may conflict with each other. When USB is disabled/enabled by Windows95 Device Manager, the system needs to be restarted. If the system is not restarted, suspension/hibernation may cause the system to hang or halt.
The Windows95 Control Panel should be used to stop PC Cards before entering suspend. If a PC Card is stopped with CardWizard before entering suspend, CardWizard may not recognize the PC Card status correctly which may cause mis-operation if the PC Card is removed from the slot.
When using communication cards, it is recommended to set the Power Management Mode to "High performance" or "Max (in Customized)". Otherwise, some communication cards may fail.
CardBus cards which do not support CCLKRUN# may not work correctly.
PCMCIA LIMITATIONS
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. Point enablers may also interfere with client device drivers that communicate with Socket and Card Services. Additional customer testing in the specific environments is recommended.
When installing two type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be cable interference that allows only one card to be used.
When using a IBM PCMCIA Token Ring card under Windows NT 4.0, use the Token Ring device driver IBM provides, not the Microsoft native PCMCIA Token Ring driver.
WINDOWS 95
If CardBus card is in use, no other PCMCIA card may be hot plugged.
A newly inserted CardBus PC Card may not be recognized correctly by Windows 95 (Windows 95 may mistake it for a previously installed CardBus PC card), If this happens, do the following:
1. Open My Computer, Control Panel and then System folder.
2. Click on the Device Manager Tab.
3. Select the device that is no longer being used.
4. Remove it.
5. Restart the system.
CardWorks does not work on Windows 95 OSR0.
If 'TDK Network Flyer CardBus LAN Adapter' (TDK 100Base CardBus Card) is used in the ThinkPad Enhanced Port Replicator CardBus slot, the properties need to be changed as follows:
1. Open 'Control Panel'
2. Open 'Network'
3. Select 'TDK Network Flyer CardBus LAN Adapter' in installed network components list
4. Then click Property", so TDK LAN adapter property Box will be appear
5. Click "Advanced"
6. Select 'Burst Length' in Property
7. And change a Value to 4 DWORD
8. Then click "OK"
9. Click again "OK"
10. And restart a computer
WINDOWS NT
Multi-function PC cards are not supported in the system. RI resume is not supported with CardWizard under Windows NT 4.0.
3270 Emulation card and 5250 Emulation card do not work with CardWizard under Windows NT 4.0.
ATA Boot is not supported under Windows NT 4.0.
ZV Card is not supported under Windows NT 4.0.
OS/2
CardBus PC Cards are not supported in the system.
ZV Card is not supported under OS/2.
OTHER TIPS AND HINTS
Video performance will be reduced when operating under the 64K or 16M color mode.
The system is designed so that customer may 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.
STANDARD SECURITY FEATURES:
Electronic Personalization
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 non-volatile 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 HDD Password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. Once the HDP is set, data on the hard disk drive cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored on 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.
The user can attach a Compu-Lock, Kensington lock or similar device to the keyhole on the back of the computer. This prevents the keyboard from opening and secures the internal devices under the keyboard. It also allows tethering the system to an immovable object to make it secure.
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementa tion of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
