The Dock I provides expandability for your IBM ThinkPad notebook
models (hereinafter referred to as the computer), while providing the
same usability as a desktop computer system. Option cables
connected or disconnected to your computer can be connected to the
Dock I so you can easily carry your computer.
Because the Dock I is designed to be both multimedia-oriented and
portable, for example, you can give presentations at a customer’s
office more effectively with the full-motion images and stereo sound
of multimedia material.
The Dock I has enhanced security features to protect it from being
used by unauthorized persons.
The following summarizes the standard features or options on the
Dock I.

closed secures the computer by engaging the computer with the
hooks 14 . Sliding the slide-knob 11 to the left snaps the
release/lock lever open.
1 Security Lock The security lock is used to secure different features on the Dock I,
depending on the position of the key. This prevents the bottom cover
of the Dock I from being removed, prevents unauthorized persons
from using the Dock I by securing the power, and prevents the
computer from being removed from the Dock I. (For more
information, see “Using the Security Lock” on page 3-2.)

speaker-in-left plug of the audio cable. Use this jack with the
speaker-in-right jack 1 for stereo speaker sound of multimedia on
the Dock I.
The power cord connector connects the power cord. Power is
supplied to the Dock I and the computer. The battery pack inside the
computer is charged at the same time. Because the Dock I does not
have a power switch, power for it is controlled by the power switch

Handling Internal Options
Warning: Do not open the static-protective package containing the
option until you are instructed to install the option. Static electricity
can damage the option.
When you are instructed to install the option, observe these
precautions as you open the static-protective package:
Touch the static-protective package containing the option to a
metallic portion of the Dock I for at least 2 seconds. This action
reduces the static electricity from the package and from your
body.
Do not touch any exposed circuitry on the option.
Prevent other people from touching the option.
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static-electricity
buildup.
Always handle the option carefully and by its edges.
If you must put the option down after it has been removed from
the package, place the option on the static-protective package
on a level surface. Do not place the option on a metal table.

Setting up the SCSI Controller Configuration
This section explains how to set up the SCSI controller’s
configuration.
Default Settings
The configuration of the SCSI controller is preset to the default. The
default settings will serve most installations.
The default configuration of the SCSI controller and ROM BIOS is
set up as follows.
Memory Address Range CA00h–CBFFh
Interrupt select IRQ11
I/O Address None
The SCSI controller uses no DMA channels and no I/O ports. All
operations are memory-mapped I/O.
The standard configuration uses 8K of memory space at address
CA00h in the system (the area reserved for ROM BIOS), and uses
Interrupt Level 11.
Note: 8KB ROM BIOS is disabled when no SCSI device is installed.

Important
Ensure that no more than 5 SCSI devices (internal or
external) are attached to the Dock I SCSI controller.
Ensure that no more than 3 meters (approximately 10 feet)
total maximum of cable length are used.
There are eight SCSI IDs—7 through 0. SCSI ID 7 is reserved
exclusively for the SCSI controller. Each device must have a unique
SCSI ID. You can set your devices—a maximum of 5—to any of the
other available SCSI IDs.
Due to the method by which the SCSI controller services option
devices, follow the guidelines below for establishing device SCSI
IDs:
If you are installing:
IBM 3.5-inch SCSI Rewritable Optical Disk Drive, or
IBM 5.25-inch SCSI Rewritable Optical Disk Drive
use a lower SCSI ID than used for your hard disk drives.
If you are installing an IBM PS/2 CD-ROM drive (external), use
a lower SCSI ID than used for your hard disk drives and the
above rewritable optical disk drives.
An example of the recommended SCSI ID assignments is shown
below.

If you have only one external device, it must be terminated. If you

Each SCSI device connected to the SCSI controller is set to a different SCSI ID.
If you have an internal device, that device is terminated.
If you have only one external device, that device is terminated.
If you have more than one external device, the last device in the chain (the device
farthest from the SCSI controller) is terminated.
The cabling is correct and no options or cables are loose.
Ensure that no more than 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) total maximum of cable
length are used.
Be sure that your installation meets the following requirements.
Ensure that no more than 5 SCSI devices (internal or external) are attached to the Dock
I SCSI controller.

Installing Support Software
This section provides an overview of the installation of support
software including the Dock I Option Diskette.
Before You Begin
Some SCSI devices are shipped with diskettes called:
Option diskettes
Option/device driver diskettes
Most SCSI hard disk drives do not require these diskettes. Most
SCSI devices other than hard disk drives, such as CD-ROMs and
optical drives, require an option diskette.
Check for option diskettes in the package containing SCSI devices
that you will be connecting to the Dock I SCSI controller. Also
check the manuals that came with those devices. If any diskettes
were included, keep these for use during the Dock I Option Diskette
installation procedures. These diskettes contain files necessary in
some installations.
Special Considerations
In this chapter, all references to the IBM PS/2 CD-ROM also refers
to IBM PS/2 SCSI CD-ROM II.

Using the SCSI Diagnostics Utility
This section explains how to prepare your hard disk drives for use
with your computer system and how to identify the problems with
the SCSI diagnostics utility (FDSDA.EXE).
Preparing SCSI Drives
If your SCSI drive has been used previously in another system
configuration, it is advisable to run a low-level format first with
the SCSI diagnostics utility.
Then run your IBM DOS or OS/2 FDISK and FORMAT utilities
to partition and format the drives in accordance with your IBM
DOS or OS/2 documentation.
The low-level format prepares a drive to work with an
operating system. It also scans the disk surface and builds a
defect list to relocate any defective sectors to a known good area
of the disk.

Title: C74AMST CreationDate: 06/23/93 17:09:07
If your SCSI drives are new, using the appropriate IBM DOS or
OS/2 utility programs is the only step you need.
The SCSI diagnostics utility helps you troubleshoot SCSI
controller and device problems through a series of menus.
Starting the SCSI Diagnostics Utility
This section explains how to run the SCSI diagnostics utility from
the Dock I Option Diskette to verify the configuration you just
installed.
To start the SCSI diagnostics utility, do the following.
1.
Insert the Dock I Option
Diskette into drive A.
2.
Turn on all attached devices,
then turn on the computer.
3.
In the main menu, select
“Diagnostics”. Then select “Test
SCSI Subsystems”. This screen
appears. Note that in this
screen the Dock I SCSI
controller is referred to as
adapter. Press Enter.
Note
If you have not attached a
SCSI device to the Dock I
SCSI controller, the
diagnostics utility reports an
error that no SCSI host
adapters were not found.

on this menu. The individual
tests are described briefly below
the figure of the menu.
Adapter Diagnostics Three pass/fail tests are run on the SCSI
controller to check ROM, RAM, and the SCSI data bus.
Device Diagnostics This function issues the Device Diagnostics
command to the selected device. If the device is a removable media
type, it prompts for media to be inserted. If the command
completes successfully, the selected device is installed and
functioning properly.
Test Unit Ready This command is issued to each device to check
that the device is online and ready to accept command requests.
Get Device Status If either the Test Unit Ready, Read, or
Read/Write test resulted in an error condition, you should run Get
Device Status to isolate the specific problem causing the error
condition.
Read Test This test issues Read commands from the beginning to
the end of the entire drive to verify that the drive processes them
properly.
