IBM ThinkPad 560 Technical Information, Tips, and Techniques Version 3.4 December 1996 Troubleshooting IBM Thinkpad Hardware Setup Problems If you should experience problems setting up PCMCIA Cards, please follow the procedures listed below: (1) Please ensure that your ThinkPad is using the latest BIOS release for that system. Later BIOS releases correct problems that users have experienced with the earlier releases. Refer to the ThinkPad BIOS section to determine if you need to update your system's BIOS. Make sure that your software drivers are at the correct release level and are setup properly. Refer to the ThinkPad PCMCIA Drivers section to see if you need to update your system's PCMCIA device drivers. If you are using Point Enablers, please ensure that they are at the latest release level. Determine if any upper memory conflicts exist between the areas claimed by ThinkPad BIOS, Card & Socket Services, and Point Enablers. Refer to the ThinkPad Memory Map section. The Device Driver DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF (DOS PCMCIA Resource Map Utility) sets the upper memory addresses used by Card & Socket Services. The /MA parameter tells Card Services what locations in upper memory can be used by PCMCIA cards or Card Services, and must match or be a subset of an excluded memory range on the EMM386 line of CONFIG.SYS. (2) (3) (4) Microsoft Windows can overwrite the upper memory address used by Card & Socket Services. To prevent this, add an EmmExclude=XXXXXXXX statement to the [386 Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI (Where XXXX-XXXX is the same as the memory region as used in the /MA parameter for the DICRMU01.SYS driver). If you are using point enablers, be sure to exclude any upper memory used by the enabler by adding an EmmExclude statement to SYSTEM.INI. Make sure that no interrupt conflicts exist between ThinkPad devices and any PCMCIA Cards. Refer to the ThinkPad Interrupt Assignments section to view the default interrupt assignments. Please note that the ThinkPad System Setup Utility allows you to view and change interrupt assignments for many internal devices. (5) Installing Windows 95 on the ThinkPad 560 (1) (2) For complete Windows 95 directions, please download TPWIN95.EXE from the IBM BBS. The ThinkPad 560 uses a Trident Cyber9382 Graphics Accelerator. Ensure that Windows 95 is installed using the ThinkPad 560 Windows 95 Video Driver Diskette. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you update your system BIOS to the latest BIOS release before installing Windows 95 on your system. Early BIOS releases do not support Plug & Play or MWAVE under Windows 95. Refer to the BIOS section for the latest BIOS level for you ThinkPad. The ThinkPad Features Program for Windows works on Windows 95. If you install Windows 95 on a blank hard disk or you haven't installed ThinkPad Features Program, follow the instructions of "ThinkPad Features Program - Installing for Windows" in the ThinkPad User's Guide. Please ensure that you are at the latest levels (refer to Dr
