Installing OS/2 2.1

   Welcome to OS/2* 2.1.  This document provides
   you with information you need before you
   install OS/2 2.1.  It contains helpful hints
   found in our testing as well as updates and
   corrections to the "OS/2 2.1 Installation
   Guide".

   Use the information in conjunction with the
   "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide" and the "OS/2 2.1
   Using the Operating System" manual.

   ****************Important!*****************

     If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over a
     product release such as OS/2 1.x, OS/2
     2.0, OS/2 2.0 with the Service Pak, DOS,
     or DOS and Windows**, you do
     not need to reformat the OS/2 partition.

     If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over an
     existing OS/2 2.0 system in which you
     have application programs on the desktop,
     you should not elect to migrate these
     applications during your installation.
     Your current application set will
     continue to be available to you after
     installation.

     If you have a version of the OS/2 2.1 beta
     installed, you need to reformat the OS/2
     partition.  Installing OS/2 2.1 over a
     previous beta version is not supported.
     Do not use any OS/2 system files (such as
     OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI) from a previous
     beta version.

     If you have a DOS system with compression
     activated, do one of the following:

       1.  Decompress the disk

       2.  Select a different partition

       3.  Format the disk

     If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a non-Micro Channel (MCA)
     system, change the settings in your CMOS to the following:

       o  Turbo/System Speed should be OFF/Slow
       o  Caching (External) should be OFF
       o  ROM Shadowing (System and Video) should be OFF

     These settings affect the way that OS/2 2.1 installs.
     Failure to change these settings might result in OS/2 not
     installing at all; installing and then booting to a Trap 2;
     or what seems to be a good install and later have unexplainable
     random Traps (from a few days to a few months later).

     To improve system performance after you have installed OS/2,
     all of the above settings can be changed back without causing
     damage to OS/2.

SCSI-BASED CD-ROM SUPPORT
_________________________

   The majority of SCSI-based CD-ROM drives and
   adapters are supported by OS/2 2.1.
   ("SCSI-based" refers to the small computer
   system interface (SCSI), a standard
   input/output interface used by personal
   computers.)

   A complete list of the CD-ROM drives and SCSI
   adapters tested on OS/2 2.1 can be found in the
   "Hardware Support" chapter of the "OS/2 2.1
   Using the Operating System" manual.  (Note that
   Panasonic** MC521 support is not shipped with
   OS/2 2.1.  Please contact Panasonic to receive
   this support.)


OBTAINING ADDITIONAL CD-ROM SUPPORT

   If, after reviewing the list in "OS/2 2.1 Using
   the Operating System", you find that your
   CD-ROM drive or SCSI adapter is not supported
   within the OS/2 product, you can contact the
   manufacturer and obtain an OS/2 Adapter Device
   Driver (.ADD) file.  After you receive the .ADD
   file, follow the instructions in the "Before
   You Begin" section of the "OS/2 2.1
   Installation Guide" to add this file to
   Diskette 1.

   As an alternative, you can create installation
   diskettes from the diskette images that are on
   the OS/2 CD, if you have DOS support for your
   CD-ROM drive.

   If support for your CD-ROM was not properly
   installed during initial installation of OS/2
   2.1, then you will need to use the Selective
   Install program located in the System Setup
   folder to reinstall the CD-ROM support
   appropriate for your CD-ROM.


CREATING DISKETTES FROM THE OS/2 CD

   You use the LOADDSKF utility program to create
   the diskettes.  (LOADDSKF.EXE is in the
   \DISKIMGS directory of the CD. LOADDSKF can be
   run from either the DOS or OS/2 operating
   system.)

   In the following sections, you will see lists
   of the product diskettes for OS/2 2.1 and the
   actual diskette names as they exist on the CD.
   For each diskette image file, use LOADDSKF to
   expand the image to its own diskette.  (Note
   that you must use formatted diskettes for this
   procedure.)

   For example:

      cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\OS2\size\disk_name d:

   where:

       cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM

       size is 35 for 3.5-inch diskettes or 525
       for 5.25-inch diskettes

       disk_name is the diskette image file name
       (for example, DISK0.DSK, PMDD1.DSK.)

       d is the drive letter of your diskette
       drive (A: or B:)

   After you create all the diskettes (23 for
   3.5-inch diskettes or 28 for 5.25-inch
   diskettes), insert the DISK0 diskette in drive
   A:, restart your system, and follow the
   instructions to install OS/2 2.1.

   If you want to create diskettes for the
   Multimedia support that is part of OS/2 2.1,
   note that the images are located in the
   \DISKIMGS\MMPM2 directory. Use LOADDSKF to
   expand each image to its own diskette.  For
   example:

       cddrive:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cddrive:\DISKIMGS\MMPM2\size\disk_name d:

   where:

       cddrive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM

       size is 35 for 3.5-inch diskettes or 525
       for 5.25-inch diskettes

       disk_name is the diskette image file name
       (for example, DISK1.DSK)

       d is the drive letter of your diskette
       drive (A: or B:)

   NOTE: Use previously formatted diskettes for
   the target (d:).

HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
_______________________

   If you have a Quantum hard card, you must make
   a modification to the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line
   in the CONFIG.SYS file of Diskette 1 before you
   install OS/2 2.1.  The BASEDEV statement should
   be modified as follows:

       BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /IRQ:11

   (These are the default settings for the Quantum
   hard card.)

   If you have added a device driver statement to
   the CONFIG.SYS file on diskette 1 and later
   migrate your old CONFIG.SYS file, make sure
   there are not two copies of this statement in
   your file.  If you have two copies of this
   statement in your file, REM one statement out.

   If you have a Logitech** TrackMan**, select one
   of the two Logitech mouse choices during
   installation.


INSTALLING OS/2 2.1 FROM A CD ON AN IBM THINKPAD ATTACHED TO A DOCKING STATION
______________________________________________________________________________

   If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on an IBM*
   ThinkPad* 700, 700C, 720, or 720C attached to a
   3550 Docking Station, you need to replace the
   ABIOS files on the OS/2 Installation Diskette
   with files from the Reference Diskette.  Do the
   following:

   1.  Detach the ThinkPad from the Docking
       Station.

   2.  Create a Reference Diskette (if you have
       not already done so) by following the
       documentation that came with the ThinkPad.

   3.  Make a copy of the OS/2 Installation
       Diskette.

   4.  Insert the original OS/2 Installation
       Diskette into drive A.

   5.  Turn on the computer.  If it is already on,
       press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

   6.  When you are prompted to do so, remove the
       Installation Diskette, insert Diskette 1,
       and press Enter.

   7.  When the Welcome screen is displayed, press
       Esc to display the command prompt.

   8.  Insert the copy of the Installation
       Diskette into drive A.

   9.  Type:

            DEL *.BIO

       and press Enter.

   10. Remove the copy of the Installation
       Diskette, and insert the Reference Diskette
       you created in step 2 into drive A.

   11. If your computer has more than one diskette
       drive, insert the copy of the Installation
       Diskette into drive B.  Otherwise, in the
       next two steps, you will be prompted to
       insert diskettes into both drive A and
       drive B.  When you are asked to insert a
       diskette into drive A, insert the Reference
       Diskette.  When you are asked to insert a
       diskette into drive B, insert the copy of
       the Installation Diskette.

   12. Type:

            COPY A:\*.BIO B:\

       and press Enter.

   13. Type:

            COPY A:\ABIOS.SYS B:\

       and press Enter.

   14. Power off the ThinkPad and return it to the
       Docking Station.

   15. Restart the installation procedure by
       inserting the copy of the Installation
       Diskette into drive A.


INSTALLING OS/2 2.1 USING RIPL
______________________________

   When installing OS/2 2.1 using the IBM LAN
   Server 2.0 and 3.0 Remote Installation Program
   Load (RIPL), the 2.1 version of RIPLINST.EXE is
   dependent upon the 2.1 version of UNPACK.EXE.
   Therefore, if you are using the 2.1 version of
   RIPLINST.EXE on a client machine with OS/2
   version 2.0 or lower, then you must copy the
   UNPACK.EXE file to the client machine.  To do
   this, do the following:

   1.  Insert OS/2 2.1 Diskette 2 into drive A

   2.  At an OS/2 command prompt type:

            copy a:\unpack.exe \os2\unpack.exe

       After copying the file to the client
       machine, you can now execute the 2.1
       version of the RIPLINST.EXE program.


EXTENDED SERVICES (ES) 1.0
__________________________

   o   If you installed OS/2 2.1 on a system that
       already had Extended Services installed,
       replace the existing ESSTART.CMD file with
       the ESSTART.BAK file that was installed by
       OS/2 2.1.  (The ESSTART.BAK file is located
       in the OS2\INSTALL subdirectory.)

   o   If you are installing Extended Services
       over OS/2 2.1 for the first time (that is,
       there is no Extended Services on the
       workstation), or if you are installing
       Extended Services from diskettes, rename
       the existing ESSTART.CMD file from the
       Extended Services Diskette 1.  Then, copy
       the file ESSTART.BAK from the \OS\INSTALL
       directory to Extended Services Diskette 1.
       Finally, rename the ESSTART.BAK file
       ESSTART.CMD, and begin the installation of
       Extended Services.


VIDEO CONSIDERATIONS
____________________

   The following information pertains to video
   support for OS/2 2.1.


INSTALLING SUPER VGA (SVGA) SUPPORT

   After the VGA installation is complete, follow
   the procedure "Installing Support for Super VGA
   (SVGA)" in Appendix A of the "OS/2 2.1
   Installation Guide".


INSTALLATION ON SPECIFIC VIDEO ADAPTERS

   In the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide",
   instructions are given for configuring the
   ATI** Graphics Ultra Pro.  These instructions
   state that the monitor type for 640 x 480 must
   be configured to IBM DEFAULT.  Note that this
   setting might be referred to as 60Hz rather
   than IBM DEFAULT.

   The Radius XGA display adapter is supported on
   PS/2* Models 35 and 40 and PS/ValuePoint* 486
   systems.  If you are using the display adapter
   on a PS/ValuePoint system, the VPXGA.EXE
   utility is required.  For a copy of this
   utility program, check your Radius installation
   diskette or contact Radius.

   The OS/2 2.1 operating system cannot restore
   the state of a Sigma Legend** display adapter
   after you switch sessions or video modes.
   Also, the Sigma Legend video adapter might
   cause the system to stop when using 1024 x 768
   x 256 color mode.  Use only 640 x 480 or 800 x
   600 mode with this adapter.


CORRECTION TO INSTALLATION GUIDE APPENDIX B
___________________________________________

   Appendix B of the "OS/2 2.1 Installation Guide"
   presents information on how to respond to
   messages that begin with "TRAP".  The
   information in the appendix pertains only to
   TRAP0002 messages.
