Hints, Tips, and Limitations
This section provides hints, tips, and limitations.
Using an External Keyboard
If you use an external keyboard, you must use the optional
keyboard/mouse cable. The external keyboard does not work when
it is connected directly to the computer.
Using the Hard Disk Drive
The ThinkPad 770ED computer has an 8.1-GB hard disk drive. If
you use this drive in the Windows 3.1 or DOS environment, you
cannot use all its capacity. You can use only 7.9 GB.
Hot or Warm Docking to a Docking Station (Windows 95 Only)
You might not be able to hot or warm dock your computer to the
SelectaDock III docking station when certain PCI cards, PnP ISA
cards, and PCMCIA cards are installed in the docking station. If
such a condition occurs, reboot the system.
Using a PC Card with the Docking Station
In the Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.11, or DOS
environment, you need to install the PC Card support software
after
docking your computer to the docking station. If you have already
installed the PC Card support software, uninstall it and then reinstall
it after you dock your computer to the docking station.
USB Port Considerations
For PCI Cards in the SelectaDock III Docking Station:
When the setting of the USB port on your computer is enabled (the
default setting), do not use a PCI Video Card and a PCI Network
Card at the same time in the SelectaDock III docking station. Your
system cannot boot if both cards are inserted.
For the USB Port Setting on the SelectaDock III Docking
Station:
Do not disable the USB port on the SelectaDock III. If
you disable it, the system might hang during a hot- or warm-dock or
-undock operation. If this occurs, reboot the system.
