Device Restrictions
The restrictions on some of the devices are as follows:
1. For the Diskette Drive:
You cannot hot-plug or unplug the diskette drive in the UltraBay
when drive A is assigned to the external diskette drive. The
external diskette drive is the drive that is connected to the
system's or to the SelectaBase 770 Port Replicator's external
drive port, or the one installed in the docking station.
This applies to the following conditions:
Your system starts with the external diskette drive attached
and without a diskette drive in the UltraBay.
You set the FDD setting to External using PS2.EXE and start
your system without the internal drive installed (in the
UltraBay) nor the external diskette drive attached.
2. For Other IDE Devices:
HDD:
5
Title: C79DKMST CreationDate: 08/19/97 17:47:41
You cannot use the hot and warm plug and unplug functions.
CD-ROM drive and DVD drive:
You cannot use the hot and warm plug and unplug functions
in 2-channel IDE mode. Refer to the table on page 8.
3. For the Battery:
Do not hot unplug a secondary battery from the UltraBay when
the system is working under the secondary battery power. The
power may go off. This may be a situation where you have the
secondary battery inserted in the UltraBay and when:
The AC Adapter is not connected and there is no primary
battery.
The AC Adapter is not connected and the primary battery
power is low.
To see whether your computer is running under the secondary
battery power or not, see the battery status indicator on the LCD
indicator panel.

Enabling the IDE Drive on the Docking Station
If you have installed an IDE device (such as a hard disk drive or a
CD-ROM drive) in the docking station, you must change the setting
on your computer to enable the device. By default, your computer
uses the primary IDE channel for the primary hard disk drive
(Primary-Master) and the secondary IDE channel for a device in the
UltraBay II (Secondary-Master). You cannot use the IDE device in
the docking station in this default 2-channel default IDE mode.
To enable an IDE device in the docking station, you must change the
default setting to either of the following:
3-channel IDE mode
2-channel IDE mode
In 3-channel IDE mode, you can still use the hot and warm plug or
unplug functions. An additional IRQ for the third IDE channel is
required.
In 2-channel IDE mode, you do not have to assign an extra IRQ.
However, you will not be able to use hot and warm plug or unplug
functions.
Note: If you change the IDE channel configuration, the drive letter
assignment may be changed.
Setting to 3-Channel IDE Mode
1
Open the ThinkPad Configuration program.
2
Click on the Docking Station ( ) button.
3
Change the IRQ value in IRQ Holder for PCI Steering to a
value other than IRQ 11 or 15 (IRQ 9 is recommended).
4
Select Enable IDE devices. Make sure the third IDE channel
is selected in the list box. By default, the third IDE is
automatically selected.
5
Click on OK to close the dialog box.
6
Select OK in the warning dialog box. The system restarts.
7
Title: C79DKMST CreationDate: 08/19/97 17:47:41

2
Click on the Docking Station ( ) button.
3
Change the IRQ value in IRQ Holder for PCI Steering to a
value other than IRQ 11.
4
Select Enable IDE devices. The third IDE is automatically
selected.
5
Select Secondary channel in the IDE channel selection list
box.
6
Click on Disable Device in the warning message dialog box.
7
Click on OK to close the dialog box.
8
Select OK in the warning dialog box. The system restarts.
If necessary, change the IRQ value assigned to PCI to 11.
The following table shows the relationship between the devices and
IRQ values:

Installing the Various Versions of Windows 95
The following versions of Windows 95 are available for your
ThinkPad 770:
Retail Release version (
OSR0
)
Service Pack Version 1 (
OSR1
)
OEM Service Release Version 2 (
OSR2
)
OEM Service Release Version 2.1 (
OSR2.1
)
The OSR0 is an off-the-shelf version of Windows 95 and is available
at any retail store. The OSR1 version can be downloaded from the
Microsoft Internet homepage (http://www.microsoft.com). OSR2,
and OSR2.1 versions are available only as preloaded versions.
Since your ThinkPad 770 incorporates several new devices that were
not available when these versions of Windows 95 were announced,
take special precautions when installing or reinstalling these
versions.
Versions OSR0 and OSR1
1
Create a Windows 95 supplementary diskette using the
Diskette Factory program (refer to “Installing Software for
Windows 95” in the online book).
2
Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the
cabinet files and the installation programs (the required space
may vary depending on the language of Windows 95).
3
Make a temporary directory.
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
MD C:\WIN95
4
Copy all the cabinet (.CAB) files and the installation programs
from the \WIN95 directory of the Windows 95 CD-ROM to this
directory.
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY src_cd:\WIN95\. tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
9
Title: C79DKMST CreationDate: 08/19/97 17:47:41
Where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (C, D,...),
tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 3.
5
Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette
drive and copy the updated files from the Windows 95
supplementary diskette to the temporary directory.
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY a:\OSR INF\. tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where tgt_drv is the drive letter and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 3.
6
Install the operating system to the temporary directory by
entering SETUP.EXE at the temporary directory prompt.
7
Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions
that appear on the screen to complete the installation.
8
If required, install the OSR1 version available from the
Microsoft Internet homepage.
9
If required, remove all the files in the temporary directory and
the directory itself after you complete the installation, to free
the space on the hard disk.
Versions OSR2 and OSR2.1
If you don't have a CD-ROM version of OSR2 or OSR2.1, you
should reinstall them by restoring the original preloaded image from
the Recovery CD. Refer to “Recovering Lost or Damaged Software”
on page 14.
If you have a CD-ROM version of OSR2 or OSR2.1, do the following:
1
Create a Windows 95 supplementary diskette using the
Diskette Factory program (refer to “Installing Software for
Windows 95” in the online book).

Where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (C, D,..),
tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 3.
5
Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette
drive.
6
Copy the updated files in the Windows 95 supplementary
diskette to the temporary directory.
For example, enter the following at the DOS prompt:
COPY a:\OSR2INF\. tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
COPY a:\CARDBUS\. tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 3.
7
Install the operating system to the temporary directory by
entering SETUP.EXE at the temporary directory prompt.
8
Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions
that appear on the screen to complete the installation.
9
Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette
drive.
11
Title: C79DKMST CreationDate: 08/19/97 17:47:41

Recovering Lost or Damaged Software
Your ThinkPad computer comes with a
Recovery CD
. You should
use this CD if you accidentally delete your preloaded software or if
you have a hard disk failure. It restores the contents of your hard
disk to the original state (the state when you purchased your
computer).
The Recovery CD package consists of a boot diskette and a
CD-ROM containing the original preload image.
This CD deletes all personal data and configuration settings on your
computer's hard disk and restores it to the original state.
Only a complete set of the original software is restored; no individual
data or application is restored.
Note: If possible, make a back-up copy of your personal files before
you use the Recovery CD.
The recovery process may take up to two hours.
The following recovery options are available:
Option A The ThinkPad 770 computer supports bootable CDs when the
bootable CD function is enabled. To enable this function, do the
following:
1
Power off your computer.
2
Power on your computer while pressing and holding the F1
key. Hold the F1 key until the Easy-Setup window appears.
3
Select the Start up icon.
4
Select Power-on.
5
Select the CDROM icon by clicking the mouse button or
pressing the Spacebar.
