DockMate Software Installation
A DockMate System Installation diskette is provided with
your DockMate. Software on this diskette updates the
TravelMate BIOS software with the latest version that
supports your DockMate. If your TravelMate has a newer
version of BIOS than the one on the diskette, the program
will not change the BIOS on your system.
For your TM5000 Series computer to work correctly with
the DockMate, you must upgrade the BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System) with new firmware (FLASH ROM).
To upgrade the BIOS, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off power to your notebook computer.
2. Ensure the system is undocked.
3. Place the DockMate Installation diskette into drive A.
4. Turn on power to your notebook computer.
5. Follow instructions on the screen.
Note: If your system BIOS is more current than the BIOS
on the diskette, your system BIOS is not updated and you
are taken to the MS-DOS
remove the diskette and reboot.

DockMate Hardware Installation
Installing an External PS/2® Option
The DockMate allows you to attach any of the following to
the 6-pin PS/2 connectors on the system:
external keyboard (side port recommended)
❏
external PS/2 mouse (rear port recommended)
❏
external numeric keypad (rear or side port)
❏
To install the external PS/2 option, connect a round PS/2
connector cable to the 6-pin circular connector on the rear
or side of the system.
Serial Port Connections
Your DockMate is equipped with a 9-pin serial port with
16550 UART that can be attached to any external serial
device such as:
external modem
❏
serial printer
❏
any device that uses an RS-232 interface
❏
When using the Serial Port connection on the DockMate,
the Serial Port connector on the notebook is disabled.
Caution: Never connect a parallel device to a serial
c

port, or a serial device to a parallel port or video port;
this may cause damage to the DockMate. If you are
uncertain as to what type connector the external
device has, refer to the technical manual for the
external device.
n
DockMate Hardware Installation
Parallel Port Connections
Your DockMate is equipped with one DB25 (25-pin)
bidirectional parallel port (device name LPT1). This port
occupies address 0378h, and is designated as LPT1
(default value). Typically, the notebook computer sends
print data to LPT1 unless the menu is configured otherwise.
When using the Parallel Port connection on the DockMate,
the Parallel Port connector on the notebook is disabled.
Video Connector
To install an external VGA monitor (optional), connect the
VGA cable connector to the 15-pin connector on the rear of
the DockMate. The DockMate supports all external
monitors supported by the TM5000. For further
information, refer to the TravelMate 5000 User’s Guide.
Note: Refer to the TravelMate 5000 User’s Guide and User’s
Reference Guide for information on VGA utilities.
AC Connection
Your DockMate must run off of AC power by connecting a
TI AC adapter (TI Part No. 9786094-0003) to the system.
DockMate is designed to be powered by an AC adapter that
is attached to either the connected notebook or to the
DockMate (power transfers through the expansion bus
pins).
c
Caution: Only a TM5000 AC adapter, TI Part No.
9786094-0003, can be connected to a DockMate.

Introduction
TI provides two utilities that are copied to your system
when you install software from the DockMate System
Installation diskette:
TI Setup - for use with Windows 95 and Windows for
❏
Workgroups
SetDock - for use with MS-DOS
❏
These utilities allow advanced users to configure special
operating modes or parameters for hardware attached to
the TravelMate notebook or the DockMate.
Introduction
3-2 Utilities
Using TI Setup
n
TI Setup is copied onto your system at the time you install
the DockMate Installation diskette. TI Setup is used to
configure peripheral hardware attached through your
DockMate. TI Setup is used in either Windows or Windows
95 environments.
To configure peripherals for use with your system, complete
the following steps:
1. Complete the following for your operating system:
If you are using Windows 95 - Double-click on TI
❏
Setup in the Control Panel
If you are using Windows for Workgroups -
❏
Double-click on TI Setup in the TravelMate
Notebook Center group
2. Select the tab labeled Ports-Dock A.
3. Under Dock Type, use the pulldown menu (by selecting
the ▼) and single-click on DockMate.
4. Using configuration information provided with your
peripheral device, change any required settings in this
window.
Note: A Ports-Dock B tab (identical to the Ports-Dock A
tab) is provided in case you have more than one type of
DockMate system and want to maintain settings for both
types. If both Ports Dock A and B are set to the same type
of DockMate system, only Ports Dock A settings are used.
The Ports - Undocked tab indicates settings for your
TravelMate notebook when undocked from the DockMate.

Using the SetDock Utility
SetDock is copied onto your system at the time you install
the DockMate Software Installation diskette. The SetDock
utility is used in the DOS environment only. Like TI Setup,
it configures your system for use with peripheral devices. If
you are using Windows or Windows 95, use TI Setup when
you add or change peripherals. For more information on
options available on SetDock screens, refer to the table in
the Using TI Setup section of this chapter.
Running SetDock
To run SetDock from MS-DOS, go to the UTILS directory
(C:\UTILS) and type
SETDOCK.EXE
and press Enter. The SetDock main screen then appears
on your monitor.

Visually inspect the notebook and verify that the
❏
notebook is docked properly (refer to Chapter 2,
Dockmate Installation).
Visually inspect the connectors on the notebook to
❏
ensure there is no physical damage to the connector
areas of the notebook.
Ensure that you are using the correct AC adapter (TI
❏
Part No. 9786094-0003).
Try disconnecting the notebook and running notebook
❏
diagnostics to isolate the problem to either the
notebook or the DockMate.

Notebook Connection
4-2 Troubleshooting Procedures
Option Installation
If you experience difficulty with a serial device, parallel
device, PS/2 device, or external VGA monitor, disconnect
the DockMate. Connect the peripheral to the notebook. If
it runs properly, you can determine that the anomaly lies
with the DockMate and not with your peripheral or with the
notebook.
Ports
If you are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95,
or MS-DOS and an external device (such as a printer) is
failing, check the following:
1. Ensure that the device’s I/O cable is the correct type
for the port and is securely installed.
2. Ensure that the external device is powered up and
properly connected to the DockMate System and that
the external device is properly configured (refer to
Chapter 2, DockMate Hardware Installation).
3. If you are experiencing a failure on the serial port,
check to see that the serial port is correctly configured
to match the settings in the external device (refer to
Chapter 4). If your application software does not
initialize the serial ports, you must use the MS-DOS
MODE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (refer to
your online MS-DOS User’s Manual for further
instructions).
Option Installation
Printer
If you are running Windows 95 and are experiencing
problems with printing, complete the following steps:
1. From the Windows Control Panel, select the System
icon.
2. Select the Device Manager.
3. Select the Printer port.
4. Verify that the I/O Range is 378-037A.
