TP 560 - Installing OS/2 Warp
Applicable to: World-Wide
Service Information:
This procedure is for installing OS/2 Warp on the IBM Thinkpad 560 series machines. It will work for OS/2 Warp for Windows (red label), OS/2 Warp with WINOS2 (blue label), OS/2 Warp Connect (blue label), and OS/2 Warp Connect for Windows (red label).
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.
Preliminary Setup:
Click 
here to obtain the necessary device drivers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Consult the README file on the Thinkpad System Update diskette and follow the instructions for use.
Boot the Thinkpad from the 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, use the TEDIT editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS on the installable drive and remove the line:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
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 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 during 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.
