Remote Installation of OS/2 Warp version 4.0 on Thinkpad 760 Revised 01/29/97 by Jim Wilkerson This procedure is for installing OS/2 Warp version 4.0 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. This procedure is for basic OS/2 installation and operation only. Enhanced features such as Mwave and MPEG playback are addressed in seperate procedures from this document. The files listed in this procedure are available from the IBM PC Company BBS at phone: (919) 517-0001, anonymous ftp: ftp.pcco.ibm.com, and World Wide Web site: http://www.pcco.ibm.com. *** Preliminary Setup *** 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. Remove the Thinkpad from any dock station. Obtain the following files from IBM, run each from a temporary directory and follow the instructions to create the diskettes as listed. Note: The actual file descriptions listed here may vary from the descriptions as posted on the BBS, ftp site, or the WEB. The file name, size, and date should be exact.

Start the OS/2 Warp Remote Install from the machine which will act as the remote server. Create the Remote Installation diskettes, selecting PCMCIA Support for the respective Thinkpad being used. Select the IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Network Adapters for the network card. Default Ring Speed will default to AUTORINGSPEED which should be fine. *** 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. 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 the Thinkpad being used for for PCMCIA support. For the 760L/LD/EL/ELD, 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. 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. For networking support installation, consult the network administrator for client selection. Assuming the common configuration of both LAN Requestor and TCP/IP support: 1. Select 'File and Print Client' for OS/2 LAN Requestor and Peer support. 2. Select 'TCP/IP Services' for TCP/IP support. Note: Eliminate Step 1 if only TCP/IP support is required, and vice versa. Select 'Next' to proceed to the 'Welcome to Configuration' panel. For the File and Print Client: 1. Select the 'File and Print Sharing Services' and from the configuration panel, select the installation drive to install the File and Print Client to. Fill in the Workstation name, the Workstation description, and the Domain name as supplied by the network administrator. 'LAN Server Administration' and 'Install Sharing' are checked by default. 'Delete user ID database (NET.ACC)' is not necessary unless instructed to do so the network administrator. 2. Select 'Network Adapters and Protocol Services' and from the configuration panel, select the installation drive to install to. Change the network adapter by selecting 'Change adapter' and highlighting 'IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Network Adapters'. Select 'OK' to continue. IBM NETBIOS and IBM TCP/IP are the default protocols added for the adapter. Add any additional protocols as instructed by the network administrator. 3. Select 'Network Adapters for File and Print Sharing' and verify that Adapter 0 is checked and is shown as the IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring adapter. 4. Select 'User ID and Password' and fill in the information as instructed by the network administrator. For TCP/IP Services: 1. Select the 'TCP/IP Services' and from the configuration panel, select the installation drive to install TCP/IP to. Fill in the rest of the required information as instructed by the network administrator. Note: TCP/IP Services do not need to be configured at this point of the installation. They can be configured later using the TCP/IP Configuration from the OS/2 System Setup folder. Select 'Install' and proceed with the rest of the installation. Install the Thinkpad Features for OS/2 using the INSTALL2 program from the 2 using Thinkpad Utilities for OS/2 diskette. The INSTALL2 program can be run from S/2 select Install to complete the installation. Note: Thinkpad Personalization can be installed and run, just make sure to iskette 2 have the Thinkpad Utilities for DOS Diskette available during the install. *** Video Installation *** 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.
