compaq lte 5000 User Manual

							IMPORTANT: The computer does not automatically load Microsoft Windows 95
when this procedure is used. Follow this procedure only if you
are experienced at using MS-DOS mode commands.
Follow these steps to insert an LTE Elite hard drive that does not have
secondary-drive capability into the dedicated hard drive bay:
1. Save your work and shut down the computer.
2. Remove the LTE 5000 hard drive from the dedicated hard drive bay.
3. Place the LTE 5000 hard drive into the MultiBay Hard Drive Carrier
(sold separately) and insert the carrier into the computer MultiBay.
NOTE: You can insert a hard drive other than the original LTE 5000 hard
drive; however, the drive must have secondary-drive capability.
To use a CD-ROM drive in the computer MultiBay, you must install
the CD-ROM drivers.
4. Insert the LTE Elite hard drive into the dedicated hard drive bay.
5. Step 5 depends on the operating system on the LTE Elite hard drive.
o If the drive has Windows 95, turn on the computer and press F8 when
you see the message starting Windows 95. When the Windows 95
Startup Menu appears, select Command Prompt Only.
o If the drive has Windows 3.1, turn on the computer and press F5 when
you see the message starting MS-DOS. This bypasses the
configuration files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS).
6. Use the COPY command to transfer files.
NOTE: Some LTE 5000 features will not be available until you reinsert the
LTE 5000 hard drive in the dedicated hard drive bay and restart the
computer.

===========================================================================
Feature Comparison
===========================================================================
Secondary drive capability LTE Elite drives are jumpered internally to
be Device 0 (master) drives. They cannot
function as Device 1 (slave) drives
The LTE 5000 Personal Computer supports
multiple drives and LTE 5000 drives are
jumpered as cable select. The drive looks
at a pin on the cable to determine whether
it is Device 0 or Device 1. They can
function as primary or secondary drives. 
						

							The systems can boot only from Device 0
drives.
Drives with secondary drive capability
(cable select) have the following icon on
the label:
ILLUSTRATION OF (to be supplied)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preloaded software and LTE Elite and LTE 5000 Personal Computers
drivers use different chip sets in areas such as PC
Cards and video/graphics. Different hardware
chip sets require different software
drivers.
The LTE 5000 Personal Computer has many
features not supported on the LTE Elite,
such as Multimedia and infrared. LTE Elite
drivers do not have supporting software.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diagnostics and Setup The LTE Elite Personal Computer has
Diagnostics and Setup on a hidden partition
on the hard drive.
The LTE 5000 has Setup in ROM. Diagnostics
are on diskette.

Table C-2. Compatibility Implications
===========================================================================
Feature Description
===========================================================================
Option drives Option Drives shipped after the introduction of
the LTE 5000 are common to the LTE Elite and the
LTE 5000 Personal Computers.
o They will have Secondary Drive Capability
(cable select). These drives will function
properly as Device 0 (Master) in the LTE
Elite.
o They will not have preloaded software for
either system (except Diagnostics and Setup).
(LTE Elite option drives never have contained
preloaded software).
o They will have the hidden Diagnostics and Setup
partition for the LTE Elite (as LTE Elite
Option drives have always had). The LTE 5000
does not use this partition.
Option drives shipped before the LTE 5000
Announcement are for the LTE Elite only. They do
not have Secondary Drive Capability. Drives
shipped with LTE 5000 preloaded software have the
product name (LTE 5000) on the label.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using LTE 5000 Drives with Secondary Drive Capability (cable
drives in the LTE select) will function properly as Device 0 in
Elite the LTE Elite from a hardware standpoint. 
						

							However, drives with LTE 5000 preloaded software
have the wrong drivers, and expect to find
features not present in the LTE Elite hardware,
resulting in errors.
LTE 5000 drives have a utility to detect the
hardware/software mismatch and issue a caution.
Drives shipped in LTE 5000 units do not have
Setup or Diagnostics in a hidden partition for
the LTE Elite.
There is little practical use for LTE 5000 drives
in the LTE Elite. One exception is to use the
MS-DOS Copy command to transfer files to and
from a drive in a SmartStation.
o If the drive has Windows 3.1, you can boot
MS-DOS only by pressing F5 at the Loading
MS-DOS message to skip AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS.
o If the drive has Windows 95 loaded, turn on the
computer and press F8 when you see the message
starting Windows 95. When the Windows 95
Startup Menu appears, select Command Prompt
Only.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using LTE Elite LTE Elite drives can be used in MultiBay I of the
drives in the LTE LTE 5000 MultiBay Expansion Base.
5000
o MultiBay I is normally configured as Device 0
on the Secondary IDE Interface, so the LTE
Elite drive can be Device 0 without being the
boot drive.
o Boot from the LTE 5000 drive in the dedicated
hard drive compartment of the computer.
o If running Windows 3.1, an LTE Elite drive in
the LTE 5000 cannot copy files from a CD-ROM.
o If running Windows 95, an LTE Elite drive in
the LTE 5000 can copy files from a CD-ROM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limited use without The LTE Elite drive must be Device 0, so it
an expansion base must be the boot drive. The LTE 5000 Drive can be
used as a secondary drive.
Preloaded software is incompatible, so you must
follow the appropriate procedure for either
Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, whichever is loaded on
the drive.
o If the drive has Windows 3.1 loaded, use F5 to
abort AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Press F5
when the message Loading MS-DOS appears.
o If the drive has Windows 95 loaded, turn on the 
						

							computer and press F8 when you see the message
starting Windows 95. When the Windows 95
Startup Menu appears, select Command Prompt
Only.
This leaves you at the MS-DOS prompt; use the
Copy command to transfer files.
NOTE: Drives shipped with LTE 5000 preloaded
software have the product name (LTE 5000)
on the label.
Not recommended for day to day use; use for
occasional file transfers only. MS-DOS
proficiency is required.
