 Notes -
(1): MHz only measures internal clock speed, not application performance.  Many factors affect application performance.
(2): MB = one million bytes and GB = 1000 million bytes when referring to hard disk drives.  Capacity available for end users may vary.

KeyBoard Layout is Different:  The IBM ThinkPad 310/315D keyboard implements an industry standard key layout, which is different than other ThinkPad layouts for other geographies. For Japan, there are 88 keys compared to 90.  PgUp and Home are assigned on the same key and PgDn and End are on the same key.

- BIOS setup program is text base and English only.  No NLS and DBCS supporT
- Video BIOS occupies 48KB of conventional memory area in C0000 - CFFFF.  ThinkPad needs 32KB for video.  The size of available conventional memory is reduced by 16KB.
 - Infrared, port replicator and docking stations are not supported.
- BIOS has no built-in diagnostics.
- Booting from PC Card (ATA/SRAM) is not supported.
- Standby and Hibernation power saving modes are supported, but not suspend mode.
- Industry setup utility "Notebook Manager" is used for basic functions instead of "ThinkPad Feature."   User interface is different  from "ThinkPad Feature."
- Preloaded OS is limited to WIN95 (OSR2).
- OS/2 and Windows NT are not supported
- To make backup diskettes, Microsoft backup utilities in WIN95 are used instead of IBM's diskette factory.
- There is no machine serial number in system BIOS ROM.
- External display and external keyboard are not available when LCD is closed.
- CardBus is not available under native DOS/Windows 3.11 environment.
- DOS/WIN 3.11 applications, which assume IREQ3 or IREQ4 (i.e. communication applications), and ZV port cannot run simultaneously.
- PCMCIA card is not supported that is not compatible with Phoenix PCMCIA driver under DOS/WIN 3.11 (i.e. Accton EN2212 Ethernet adapter).
- Speaker volume adjusted by Fn key (Fn + F5) does not affect the volume scale controlled by the audio function provided by operating systems.
- The socket status of lower slot of PCMCIA connectors is shown at the top of the socket status panel of WIN95 "PC Card Property Panel." (Status of higher slot appears at the bottom.)  Needs attention when a PC card is removed.
-  A newly inserted CardBus PC Card may not be recognized by WIN95; that is, WIN95 may mistake it for a previously installed CardBus PC Card.
- When the user starts the computer running WIN95 (OSR2) with a 3Com3c562 multi-function PC Card inserted, the computer stops responding, or the network is inaccessible.  This problem is avoided by  disabling the OSR2 "Turn off PC Card modems when not in use" power feature.
- To use the model wake up function, the customer needs to disable the  "Turn-off PC-Card modem when not in use" function.
- Speaker volume level adjusted by the Hot Key (Fn + F5) is not kept after the computer is restarted.
- The diagnostics routine "Execute device self diagnostics / Test: Drive Diagnostics" of ATADIAG.EXE is not supported for:
 -   PCMCIA Intelligent Flash memory  5MB (85G1212)
 -   PCMCIA Intelligent Flash memory 10MB (85G1220)
 -   PCMCIA Intelligent Flash memory 20MB (85G1224)
 -   PCMCIA Intelligent Flash memory 40MB (85G1228)
- 3Com EtherLinkIII + Modem 336 is not supported.
- NewMedia Bus Toaster is not supported under DOS/Windows 3.11.

Cables Orders:  All cables are included with the system.
Installability:  This ThinkPad family of systems requires approximately 20 minutes for installation.  Installation includes unpacking, settingup, and powering on the system.  Additional time is required to install other memory and other optional features.
Security, Auditability and Control 
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementa tion of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
Standard Security Features
 - Electronic Personalization
-  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 Setup Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification.  The Password prompt appears when the hardware configuration is changed.
 
Optional Security Features
The user can attach a Kensington Lock to the keyhole on the back of the computer.  This allows the system to be leashed to any convenient fixed point. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.

IBM ThinkPad 310/310D Compatibility:            
Tests are run on a large number of commonly used and available hardware options for compatibility with its ThinkPad systems, using supported operating systems and configurations.  In general, the user can expect  that most IBM and vendor hardware options designed to run with supported operating systems, Intel-compatible system architectures and supported standard I/O interfaces to be compatible with the ThinkPad system.  Some configurations, however, may not be compatible.
IBM does not warrant or support vendor hardware options, nor guarantee compatibility of those products with IBM systems.  Please refer to the applicable warranty and service terms provided by the respective vendors.
For existing IBM hardware options that can be used by the ThinkPad 310 family, please refer to the latest Options By IBM (OBI) catalog and Website, as well as to the IBM sales configurator.

Stereo Audio Jacks -- Provide for the connection of external stereo speakers/headphones and microphone
 
External Display Connector -- External display port for connecting one of the supported VGA or SVGA displays that may be used in desktop environment instead of the LCD that is standard with the system. Also supporting an attachment of ISO 9241-3 enabled IBM monitors'. It provides 75 Hz refresh rate and "flicker-free" display clarity.  Dual Display of LCD and an external display is also supported.
PCMCIA Slot -- The ThinkPad entry systems conform to the PCMCIA Release 2.1 specification.  Card Bus PC Card Connector and Zoomned Video Port PC Card (only lower slot) are supported.
 
The ThinkPad entry systems support the attachment of external keyboards. In particular, the IBM Enhanced Keyboard with PS/2 Style Cable (PN 92G7453 FN 2289) and the IBM ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard
 
AC Adapter
The AC adapter is an alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) converter to supply the necessary power to the computer. The AC adapter also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.
 
PC Cards which do not support the power management function may cause the shorter battery operation hours.
 
Battery Packs
The battery pack is an internal power source to the computer when the AC adapter is not available.  The battery pack is rechargeable and is charged within the system unit when attached to the AC adapter, either when the system is operating or switched off. Approximate standard battery operation hours and charging hours are:
 
  NiMH Battery
- Power off/suspend charging     2.0 hrs
- Charging during operation (1)  3.5-10 hrs
- Battery Operation (2)          3.0-3.5 hrs
- tsize=5 termhi=0 c.
 
Notes
 (1)       Recharge times may vary
 (2):      Results based on BAPCo's (Business Applications Performance Corporation) SYSmark benchmark test.  Battery life will vary based on many factors including screen brightness, applications, features, battery conditioning, power management and other customer preferences.
