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.

(2) 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.

(3) 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.

(4) Microsoft Windows can overwrite the upper memory address used by Card &
Socket Services. To prevent this, add an EmmExclude=XXXX-XXXX 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.

(5) Make sure that no interrupt conflicts exist between ThinkPad devices and
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.

(6) Those ThinkPad 365X and 365XD Models with audio use I/O 220 as the default
audio I/O address. This setting will conflict with a Token-Ring Adapter (At
I/O A20). Use the ThinkPad Utilities to change the I/O address for audio to
240. This will resolve the conflict.






































Installing Windows 95 on the ThinkPad 365C, 365CD, 365CS, & 365CSD


(1) For complete Windows 95 directions, please download TPWIN95.EXE from the
IBM BBS.

(2) It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you update your system BIOS to the
latest BIOS release before installing Windows 95 on your system. Refer to
the BIOS section for the latest BIOS level for you ThinkPad.

(3) Install Windows 95.

(4) 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 Driver Levels section of this
document).

(5) Windows 95 comes with the integrated PCMCIA support. To use the Windows
95 PCMCIA support functions, refer to the Windows 95 documentation or on-
line help. Note: to use PCMCIA function, you must run the PC Card Wizard in
Control Panel under My Computer.

If you want to use ThinkPad PC Card Director (or EasyPlaying), you can
still use ThinkPad DOS PCMCIA device drivers. Follow the instructions in
the ThinkPad User's Guide for "Installing the PCMCIA drivers - Installing
for DOS." Make sure that you use the latest PCMCIA drivers.

(6) The video device driver for ThinkPad 365 system is included with Windows
95. You do not need to install the ThinkPad Windows video device driver.
To verify that the correct video driver is installed, select "My Computer",
select "Control Panel", open "Display", then select "Change Display Type".
Make sure that "Chips & technology Accelerator" is selected.

(7) Configure Audio Support. Select "My Computer", select "Control Panel",
open "Multimedia", then select "Advanced". Go to "Audio Devices" in the
list of "Multimedia Devices", then select "Audio for ESS ES1688 Plug & Play
AudioDrive". Select "Settings", then select "Use Single Mode DMA".

(8) If you are using an IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter, download TRCC1.EXE
for an updated driver for Windows 95.

(9) Windows 95 treats the IBM Ethernet Credit Card Adapter II as a Plug & Play
Adapter. However, some older versions of this adapter do not support Plug &
Play. If you insert this adapter into a system running Windows 95, the system
may lock until you remove the adapter. To correctly configure this adapter for
Windows 95, boot in Safe Mode, go into Device Manager, and manually configure
the adpater for I/O 300, IRQ 9, Mem Address D400.































Installing Windows NT 4.0 on the ThinkPad 365X & 365XD

(1) Note: Windows NT 4.0 is only supported on the ThinkPad 365X & 365XD models.
No testing of NT has been conducted on the ThinkPad 365C, 365CS, 365CD, 365CSD,
365E, or 365ED models.

(2) Update your system BIOS to the latest BIOS release before installing Windows
NT on your system.

(3) Download the latest ThinkPad Windows NT 4.0 Installation Instructions
(TPWINT40.TXT) from the IBM BBS or Web site. Also download the latest drivers
required for your system (see Drivers for Windows NT section for the files to
download).

(4) Install Windows NT on the ThinkPad.

(5) After NT has been installed, update the ThinkPad 365 Windows NT Video Device
Driver. Use the ThinkPad Video Driver you downloaded from the BBS. Insert the

THINKPAD DOS/WINDOWS MEMORY MANAGEMENT TIPS

IBM Card & Socket Services Drivers for ThinkPad 365


DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS (DOS PCMCIA Socket Services Driver
for PCMCIA Socket Services 2.0)

Socket Services uses between 6KB and 7KB of memory .


DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS (DOS PCMCIA Card Services Driver for
PCMCIA Socket Services 2.0)

Card Services uses 29KB of memory.


DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=D000-D7FF (DOS PCMCIA Resource Map
Utility)

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. The PCMCIA Resource Memory Map
Utility Driver does not remain in memory.


DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS (DOS PC Card Power Management Driver)

This driver uses 3KB of memory.


DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS

This statement loads the PCMCIA Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS) into
upper memory. AUTODRV.SYS recognizes many popular modems, 3270 cards, and
SCSI cards. It does not recognize 5250 PCMCIA cards, SDLC cards, or LAN
PCMCIA cards. AUTODRV.SYS uses 13KB of memory.

Please note that Card & Socket Services also requires a 4KB block of upper
memory.








































THINKPAD DOS/WINDOWS MEMORY MANAGEMENT TIPS

Memory Management Without PCMCIA Cards

(1) If you do not intend to use PCMCIA Cards, there is no reason to load
Card & Socket Services. Remove all IBM Card and Socket Services Device
Drivers from CONFIG.SYS (see previous page).

(2) Review the ThinkPad Memory Map for your system. Include any upper
memory areas not used by adapter cards in the Docking Station. Be sure to
exclude the address of the SCSI adapter in the Docking Station if SCSI
support is needed.

(3) If you are not using the monochrome video mode (most applications do
not), the Monochrome Video Area (B000 - B7FF) may be mapped (by adding
I=B000-B7FF to the EMM386.EXE line in CONFIG.SYS). If using Microsoft
Windows, add a Device=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386 statement to the [386Ehn] section
of SYSTEM.INI.

Memory Management With PCMCIA Cards

(1) Many PCMCIA card manufacturers provide Point Enablers with their
products. Point Enablers are small programs that provide an interface
directly to the PCMCIA controller; therefore they must be written to support
a particular type of controller.

Point Enablers are relatively simple to configure, do not require Card &
Socket Services Drivers, consume no memory (they remove themselves from
memory after configuring the card), and provide the maximum DOS memory for
your ThinkPad. However, with Point Enablers, you must specify the slot
number of the card (therefore , the card must always be in a specific slot).
You must also manually assign any upper memory blocks and IRQs used by that
card. In addition, hot-plugging of the card is prohibited (in fact, it may
damage the card).

If Point Enablers are provided with the PCMCIA card(s) you are using,
decide whether to use the Point Enablers or Card & Socket Services.

(2) If you use Card & Socket Services, decide whether to use the Super
Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS) or the drivers that are provided with your
PCMCIA card(s). The Super Client Driver automatically recognizes many
popular PCMCIA cards (including modems, 3270 cards, and SCSI adapters -- it
does not recognize 5250 PCMCIA cards, SDLC cards, or LAN PCMCIA cards.).
However, the Super Client Driver can consume more memory than do the drivers
provided with the PCMCIA card.

(3) Determine the amount and location of upper memory required by your
PCMCIA card(s), Docking Station, and ISA Adapter cards. If possible, locate
upper memory required by all PCMCIA cards and ISA Adapters in one contiguous
block. If using Card & Socket Services, these drivers require a 4KB upper
memory block that can be located anywhere in upper memory.

(4) Review the ThinkPad Memory Map for your system. Exclude from
EMM386.EXE's usage the upper memory areas used by (a) the PCMCIA card(s),
(b) Card & Socket Services (4KB), (c) the upper memory area used by the SCSI
Adapter in the ThinkPad Docking Station (if applicable), and (d) the upper
memory areas used by any ISA adapters in the ThinkPad Docking Station.
Include any available upper memory areas not excluded above.

(5) If using Card & Socket Services, modify the
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=XXXX-XXXX line in CONFIG.SYS. Make the
XXXX-XXXX range match the upper memory area used by any PCMCIA cards (plus
the 4KB used by Card & Socket Services).

(6) Exclude any memory area allocated to PCMCIA Cards from usage by
Microsoft Windows by adding an EmmExclude=XXXX-XXXX line to the [386Enh]
section of the SYSTEM.INI File. Where XXXX-XXXX is the upper memory range
allocated to the PCMCIA cards. If you are using Card & Socket Services, the
EmmExclude range must match the /MA= range of the DICRMU01.SYS Driver.

(7) If you are not using the monochrome video mode (most applications do
not), the Monochrome Video Area (B000-B7FF) may be mapped (by adding I=B000-
B7FF to the EMM386.EXE line in CONFIG.SYS). If using Microsoft Windows, add
a Device=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386 statement to the [386Ehn] section of SYSTEM.INI.

(8) If you are using an IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter, download the IBM LAN
Client Code from the IBM BBS. This code loads 802.2 Support, Netbios, the
Netware Requester, and a TCP/IP stack into extended memory (not upper memory).
It can reduce the DOS memory consumption of these protocols to 5KB.

Sample Config: IBM PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter Installed in ThinkPad 365 Systems

Note: Those ThinkPad 365 Models with audio use I/O 220 as the default audio
I/O address. This setting will conflict with a Token-Ring Adapter (At
I/O A20). Use the ThinkPad Utilities to change the I/O address for audio
to 240. This will resolve the conflict.

MEM C8000

(2) IBM LAN Support NDIS Drivers: RAMADDRESS = 0xC800
(PROTOCOL.INI File) INTERRUPT = 9
IOBASE = 0x300




































IBM PCMCIA MODEM CONFIGURATION

Using the IBM Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS)

(1) The IBM Super Client Driver will automatically recognize IBM PCMCIA
Modems. Sample CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=D000-D7FF
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI


Using the IBM PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (Note: Not All IBM PCMCIA Modems
Support this Point Enabler)

(1) The IBM PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (called PCCOMDOS.SYS) does not
require Card & Socket Services. It does reside in memory and requires 16KB.
Using the Point Enabler can save up to 36KB (if you do not load Card &
Socket Services or AUTODRV.SYS). However, with the IBM Point Enabler hot-
plugging of the card is prohibited (in fact, it will damage the card).

(2) Be sure to exclude a 4KB block for the modem in upper memory. If you
are also using card services, do not include the 4KB block in the /MA=XXXX-
XXXX parameter of the DICRMU01.SYS driver.

(3) Sample CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\PCCOMDOS\PCCOMDOS.SYS COM2 /BEEP /WINBIOS /AMEM CE

Where: COM2 is the COM 1, 2, 3, or 4 COM 2 is recommended
/AMEM is the memory location CA00 is recommended
for the modem's 4KB block


Using the IBM PCMCIA Modem Driver

(1) The IBM PCMCIA Modem Driver (called ESTDFM.EXE) does require Card &
Socket Services. It does reside in memory and requires 25KB. Therefore, I
recommend that you use the AUTODRV.SYS driver since it takes less memory.
ESTDFM.EXE is loaded via the AUTOEXEC.BAT:

ESTDFM.EXE S1C2 Where: S1 is the Slot Number
C2 is the Communications Port (C1, C2, C3, or C4)

MEGAHERTZ MODEM CONFIGURATION

Using the IBM Super Client Driver (AUTODRV.SYS)

(1) The IBM Super Client Driver will automatically recognize most Megahertz
PCMCIA Modems. Sample CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=D000-D7FF
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI


















Using the MegaHertz PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler

(1) The MegaHertz PCMCIA Modem Point Enabler (called SETMHZ.EXE) does not
require Card & Socket Services. In addition, it removes itself from memory
once it has configured the modem. This can save up to 49KB (if you
eliminate Card & Socket Services). However, with the MegaHertz Point
Enabler, you must specify the slot number of the card (therefore , the card
must always be in a specific slot). In addition, hot-plugging of the card
is prohibited (in fact, it will physically damage the card).

(2) Obtain the latest Megahertz Point Enabler. Versions before 3.1 do not
support the ThinkPad 360 & 755. Latest version is 4.3. Be sure to exclude
a 4KB block for the modem in upper memory. If you are also using card
services, do not include the 4KB block in the /MA=XXXX-XXXX parameter of the
DICRMU01.SYS driver.

(3) The SETMHZ program is loaded via the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Format of the
SETMHZ.EXE Program:

SETMHZ.EXE /cn /in /sn /pnnnn /dnnnn

Where: /cn is COM 1, 2, 3, 4 COM 2 is recommended
/in is IRQ 1 .. 15 IRQ 3 is recommended
/sn is Slot A, B, C, or D
/pnnnn is the memory location CA00 is recommended
/dnnnn is the delay in milliseconds 1500 is recommended
