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. Chapter 3. New Functions for the 770E or 770ED Computer 29
