SelectaDock II Status Indicators ................... 11

The IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II docking station works with the IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock Base Model I to provide a complete docking system for IBM ThinkPad 760E series computers.

Important

1. The SelectaDock II docking station supports only PCI bus computers. It does not support ISA bus computers, even though the SelectaDock Base Model I supports both PCI and ISA bus computers. If you try to dock an unsupported computer to the SelectaDock system, you will be alerted by the Attention indicator and a series of beeps. If you try to hot- or warm-dock an unsupported computer to the SelectaDock system, the system will shut down automatically.

2. Make sure that you are using the latest system ROM version in the ThinkPad system. See “Setting Up Your ThinkPad System” on page 14.

You need each of the following:

ThinkPad 760E series computer (hereafter called the

docking station

The

SelectaDock system

4 represents a single stationary unit to which your computer is attached. In this guide, attaching or detaching your computer to or from the SelectaDock system is called

undocking

. You dock or undock your computer to the SelectaDock

docking

system. By installing the SelectaDock system, you greatly increase the

expandability of your computer. The SelectaDock system's easy-to-use design also enables you to

dock or undock while the computer is powered on (hot docking and undocking) with operating system support.

IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II User's Guide

Another highlight of the SelectaDock system is its strong security features that protect every removable device in the system, including the SelectaDock system itself, from theft. You can also use a hard disk password on the drive installed in the docking station.

The docking station is also equipped with the UltraBay. You can easily install an UltraBay-compatible CD-ROM drive, a diskette drive, or up to two hard disk drives into the UltraBay.

Installing or Removing the PCI/ISA Adapter Card

The docking station can accommodate two sets of a full-size, 16-bit ISA bus adapter card or a 32-bit PCI bus adapter card. The lower socket is for an ISA bus adapter card, and the upper socket is for a PCI bus adapter card.

In addition, the docking station can accommodate another half-size 32-bit PCI bus adapter card.

Thus, the docking station can accommodate any of the following combinations of PCI and ISA adapter cards:

3 PCI adapter cards 2 PCI adapter cards and 1 ISA adapter card 1 PCI adapter card and 2 ISA adapter cards

This section describes the procedures for installing and removing an adapter card.

Installing an Adapter Card

To install an adapter card in the docking station, do the following:

Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from the docking station.

Undock the computer from the SelectaDock system.

Remove all cables from the rear of the SelectaDock system for easy access to the adapter slot.

Unlock the MicroSaver lock, if installed.

Turn the security key to unlock.

Remove the SelectaDock base.

Open and remove the rear cover.

IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II User's Guide

Set the adapter card switches or jumpers (if needed) using the instructions supplied with the adapter card. Record any switch or jumper information in this guide for future reference.

Note:

IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II User's Guide

do this step.

Perform this step before docking your computer to the SelectaDock system for the first time.

If you have installed a non-PNP (legacy ISA) adapter, assign system resources to the adapter card you just installed by using the ThinkPad Features program on your computer. The system resources you assign are:

IRQ (hardware interrupt request). There are 16 IRQs in the system, but certain IRQs are reserved by the system. You can assign unused IRQs for the newly installed devices.

DMA (direct memory access channel). There are 8 DMA channels: 0 through 7. Certain DMA channels are reserved by the system. This resource is typically used by adapters such as sound cards and SCSI adapters for transferring large blocks of data.

I/O address. The input/output (I/O) address space extends from X'0000' to X'FFFF'. The I/O ports of the features and adapters are mapped here.

Memory address. This area has BIOS ROM and memory mapped I/O area of the adapters.

IRQs and memory addresses are typically the most likely sources of conflict. For instance, if your ISA adapter in your SelectaDock system is using DMA channel 1, it will conflict with the audio feature in the computer that uses DMA channels 0 and 1 when enabled. A typical example of such an adapter is the Sound Blaster adapter.

Always try to select proper values to avoid resource conflict. To use the ThinkPad Features program, do the following,

depending on the operating system you are using:

For Windows 95, OS/2 Warp, Windows 3.1, or Windows NT,

do the following:

a) Select the ThinkPad folder. b) Select the ThinkPad Features icon.

c) Select the docking icon

d) Fill in all the items for the system resource information. Click

on the Help button if you need an explanation about an item.

Chapter 3. Installing and Removing Options 57

For DOS, do the following:

a) At the DOS command prompt, enter:

PS2 ?

to show what command you can use to assign system resources. See also the user's guide of the computer for command details.

b) Assign the system resources.

This completes the installation of the adapter card.

Continue the installation instructions described in the documentation shipped with the adapter card to install the device driver for the operating system.

Using the MIDI/Joystick Port

The docking station provides the MIDI/joystick port as a functional replacement for the same port on the computer. The MIDI signals through this port are directly connected to the computer's MIDI controller. Therefore, if your computer does not have a MIDI game port, you cannot use the MIDI feature.

The game controller for the joystick is added in the docking station. The computer may or may not have a game controller, depending on the model, but whenever it is docked in the docking station, the game controller in the docking station is available and takes control. The game controller in the computer, if the feature is installed, will be disabled.

Also, the game controller in the docking station must share the computer resources with some Sound Blaster–compatible ISA adapter cards, if installed. Therefore, the game controller on the docking station is disabled by an enable/disable jumper on the docking station system board, as a default setting. When you use a joystick connected to the docking station, the enable/disable jumper must be set to the enable position.

To use the MIDI/joystick port, do the following:

Turn off the computer, and remove the power cord from the SelectaDock system.

Connect a MIDI connector or a joystick cable to the port 1 .

Chapter 3. Installing and Removing Options 61

Connect the other end of the cable to a MIDI equipment connector or a joystick.

If you are going to use a joystick, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to step 9.

If you have a Sound Blaster–compatible ISA adapter card installed, do not try to use it.

Note:

Undock the computer and SelectaDock base using cold undocking. See “Cold Docking and Undocking” on page 26.

Locate the game switch 2 , and transfer the right switch from the OFF position to the ON position.

Note:

If you try to use the card at the same time as the port, the computer will have resource conflict problems.

When you use the card, set the on/off jumper to the OFF position (see step 7).

The game switch enables the functions of the joystick. By turning this switch on, you can use the functions of the joystick in the MIDI/joystick port of the docking station.

Attach the SelectaDock base and redock the computer. See “Cold Docking and Undocking” on page 26.

Turn on your computer.

This completes the connection of the MIDI/joystick port.

Connecting External SCSI Devices

You can connect external SCSI devices to the SCSI port connector. The SCSI controller in the docking station conforms with the Fast SCSI (SCSI-2) Adaptec AIC-7850 controller, and provides a port for external drives that also conform with SCSI-1 or 2 specifications.

To install the drives, follow the installation instructions that came with the SCSI device.

Enable the auto start of your SCSI device.

Notes:

1. The SCSI controller terminator in the docking station is self-controlled and does not require setup by users. For external devices in a SCSI device daisy chain, the farthest device from the docking station must have a terminator.

2. SCSI cables to connect drives are supplied with the drive, or you can purchase them at a computer store.

3. Turn on all external SCSI devices before you turn on the SelectaDock system.

4. See Chapter 6 for more information for attaching SCSI devices.

Overview of Sharing a System

When a single SelectaDock system is shared among a number of users, each user can access the same database stored on the hard disk that is installed in the docking station. The users can also share other devices installed in the SelectaDock system.

If a password is set for the hard disk and for each user's computer, the database can be protected from unauthorized access.

This shared system feature:

Enables an unlimited number of users to share a SelectaDock

system.

Prevents unauthorized use of the SelectaDock system. Allows databases to have shared access.

Allows users to easily dock and undock their computers (because there is no need to borrow the security key) and also enables no-key control by the system administrator.

– The multiuser lock prevents the security key from being turned

to the locked position. This means that the security key cannot be removed.

Allows hard disk password protection.

– Only one hard disk installed in the UltraBay hard disk

connectors can be password protected. If two hard disks are installed in the UltraBay hard disk connectors, only the hard disk installed in the back connector is password protected.

The main steps in this setup procedure are:

Setting a hard disk password for the drive

Installing the hard disk drive in the SelectaDock system

Setting a supervisor password for computers that will be used by authorized users

Installing the multiuser lock in the docking station—an additional security feature

IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II User's Guide

The setup procedure should be done by an administrator for the multiuser group.

Setup Procedure

To set up a shared system, the administrator should do the following:

For each of the computers that will be used by authorized users, set the same supervisor password.

Note:

In the administrator's computer, install a hard disk drive that will be shared by the users.

Set the hard disk password the same as the supervisor password.

After setting the hard disk password, move the drive to the shared docking station.

Set the multiuser lock in the docking station:

Do not let the password be known to the users.

a) If needed, install any PC Cards in the docking station. See

“Installing or Removing a PC Card” on page 59 for how to

install PC Cards.

b) Make sure the security key is set to unlock. c) Set the multiuser lock on.

Chapter 5. Setting Up for Sharing a SelectaDock System 75

d) Make sure the UltraBay security knob is locked. e) Attach the SelectaDock base.

f) Check that the security key cannot be turned to the locked

position. g) Raise the SelectaDock base lock until it latches. h) Set the MicroSaver lock to prevent undocking of the

SelectaDock base.

Now the SelectaDock system is ready to be used by users who bring their computers to the SelectaDock system. Users dock their computers to the SelectaDock system using cold docking. The users can access the common hard disk drive without entering the password.

This completes the setup of the shared system.

Removing the Multiuser Lock

To remove the multiuser lock, do the following:

Undock the computer.

Unlock the MicroSaver lock, if used.

Lower the SelectaDock base lock fully, and then remove the SelectaDock base.

Unlock the multiuser lock. Refer to the figure in step 5c on page 75, and reverse the

procedure.

IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II User's Guide

Hints for Using Passwords

The system administrator should not let the users know the supervisor password or the hard disk password.

The users can use the SelectaDock system without entering either the supervisor password or the hard disk password.

If users do not know the passwords, no user can reset or change the hard disk password for the drive in the docking station, and no users are able to change the computer configuration.

However, if users want to use their own supervisor password or hard disk passwords:

1. The administrator sets the hard disk password for the drive to be shared and informs all users of the password.

2. The administrator does not set supervisor passwords for the user's computers.

3. When a user turns on a computer docked with the shared system, the computer prompts for the hard disk password. The user must enter the correct password.

4. Users can set their own passwords for any other hard disk drives installed in their own computer, or they can set their own supervisor password.

When users use the shared system, they must cold dock their computer.

Chapter 6. Using the SCSI Controller

This chapter explains how to prepare for connecting SCSI devices to the SCSI adapter.

Important

Read this chapter before installing any SCSI devices. This chapter supersedes all other documents when conflicting

instructions are given. Refer to any relevant documents together with this chapter.

When attaching SCSI devices, each drive SCSI ID must be assigned and a terminator must be installed at the end of the drive daisy chain. See “Terminating the SCSI Port” on page 80.

This chapter contains: Assigning SCSI IDs

Terminating the SCSI Port ...................... 80

SCSI Software Support ........................ 81

.......................... 80

Assigning SCSI IDs

Each device attached to one SCSI port must have a different SCSI ID. When you boot your PC, the SCSI Configured Auto Matically (SCAM) program, included with the docking station, automatically assigns SCSI IDs to SCAM-capable devices.

Conventional SCSI devices are not SCAM-capable; their SCSI IDs are set by jumpers or switches and cannot be changed by SCAM commands. This causes a problem only if two or more devices are set to the same SCSI ID, which will create a conflict. To avoid this, you must set the switch or jumper settings to a different SCSI ID. See your SCSI device documentation for instructions on how to do this.

The default host adapter ID is SCSI ID 7. If you need to assign SCSI IDs manually, assign SCSI IDs 0 and

1 to the first two SCSI hard disk drives in your system.

Terminating the SCSI Port

Note:

There are two types of SCSI devices: external SCSI devices and internal SCSI devices. The descriptions in this section pertains only to external SCSI devices. Internal SCSI devices do not need terminators.

The last external SCSI device at the end of the daisy chain of drives from the SCSI port must have a set of resistors called a Terminators must be removed from, or disabled on, all other devices on the SCSI port.

Most SCSI peripherals have built-in terminators that can be enabled or

only

disabled. Terminate

Remove or disable terminators on all other drives on the SCSI port.

Be sure the SCSI cables are connected securely. They may have been loosened if you changed jumper or switch settings on the peripherals.

Chapter 7. Solving Problems

Computer problems can be caused by your notebook computer, the SelectaDock base, the docking station, or the software used. To simplify diagnosing problems, first isolate your problems to the hardware unit, such as the computer, SelectaDock base, or docking station. Then, if the problems are found to be caused by the docking station, further analysis can be done to single out the cause by running diagnostics or using troubleshooting guides. To help you perform this isolation job, a step-by-step procedure is provided at the beginning of this chapter.

Most problems can be diagnosed and solved with the assistance of the self-tests and the diagnostics programs of your computer. By using these diagnostic programs, you may be able to solve the problem yourself or provide problem information to get your problem unit fixed quickly. Make a note of all error messages, and be prepared to give them to the service representative if you need to call for service.

The troubleshooting charts and other information in this chapter will help you do whatever corrective actions need to be taken for the docking station problems.

Important

This book is to be used for the problems caused by the docking station only. For problems caused by products other than the

docking station, use the documentation for that product. The tests in this chapter are designed to test IBM products only.

Other products may cause misleading error information or incorrect computer responses. Refer to the instructions supplied with those products for testing information.
