compaq lte elite User Manual

							Set the configuration switches to correspond with the new drive
configuration and whether you want to disable the A/B and/or C/D drive
selection switches. The configuration switch settings are listed in Table
C-1 and are also listed on a label on the bottom of the drive cage in drive
position 1.
Table C-1. Configuration Switch Settings
===========================================================================
Switch On/Closed Off/Open
===========================================================================
1 IDE hard drive installed No IDE hard drive installed *
2 IRQ15 for IDE drive set to D * IRQ10 for IDE drive set to D **
3 Tape/diskette installed No tape/diskette installed *
4 A/B switch disabled A/B switch enabled *
5 C/D switch enabled * C/D switch disabled
6 Smart docking enabled * Smart docking disabled ***
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Factory default settings
** Switch 2 should not be placed in the off position unless another device
conflicts with an optional IDE hard drive in the expansion base.
*** Switch 6 should be placed in the off position only to disable the
sensors for troubleshooting purposes. Switch 6 disables all sensors
except the motor position sensor and the computer-present sensor. 
						

							===========================================================================
NOTE: Switch number 6 can be turned off to deactivate the keylock switch
and most of the sensors for troubleshooting purposes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION >>>>>
						

							To change the A/B drive designations, set the new switch position before
turning on the computer.
Designating Logical Drive C
When a Compaq LTE Elite is docked, the C/D drive selection switch sets an
optional IDE hard drive in the expansion base to operate as logical drive C
(the boot drive) or as logical drive D. The default position is D (the hard
drive in the expansion base is D).
NOTE: When a Compaq LTE Lite is docked in the Compaq SmartStation, an IDE
hard drive installed in the expansion base cannot be set as logical
drive C or used as the boot drive. Setting the C/D drive selection
switch to C has no effect.
Before changing the C/D drive selection switch from D to C, follow the
procedures in Section C.1 to configure the system for a new IDE hard drive.
To change the C/D drive designations, set the new switch position before
turning on the computer.
IMPORTANT: When the C/D switch is reset: (1) software programs, batch
files, and the CONFIG.SYS file must have the correct logical
drive designations in directory paths to access files located on
the C and D drives. (2) If the computer has more than one
partition, logical drives other than C and D also change
designations. (3) The Compaq LTE Elite should be turned off
before undocking if the computer was booted from a hard drive in
the expansion base.
NOTE: The computer cannot boot from a SCSI-2 hard drive in the expansion
base. Selecting the A/B or C/D drive selection switches on the rear
panel of the expansion base or enabling the A/B or C/D configuration
switches on the vertical circuit board have no effect on a SCSI-2
drive.
C.4 Installing EXTDISK.SYS On The Compaq LTE Lite 
When using a Compaq LTE Lite, the updated EXTDISK.SYS device driver must be
installed from the Supplemental Programs diskette included with the
SmartStation Adapter. The EXTDISK.SYS file included with the computer will
not recognize the IDE hard drive in the Compaq SmartStation.
NOTE: The Compaq LTE Elite does not require the EXTDISK.SYS driver.
To install EXTDISK.SYS, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the EXTDISK.SYS file from the Supplemental Programs diskette to the
Compaq LTE Lite hard drive.
2. Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE = [drive:][path]\EXTDISK.SYS 
						

							(where [drive:][path] specifies the logical drive and directory where
EXTDISK.SYS is located)
3. Reboot the computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys to integrate
the new information.
NOTE: The EXTDISK.SYS file on the Supplemental Programs diskette for MS-DOS
6 is the only file on that diskette that is needed for the Compaq LTE
Lite to work properly with the expansion base. The file is compatible
with MS-DOS 5.0 or higher as published by Compaq. 
						

							Appendix D - Docking and Undocking 
 
Introduction 
This appendix covers procedures for docking and undocking (1) the Compaq
LTE Elite or the Compaq LTE Lite in the Compaq SmartStation, (2) the Compaq
LTE Elite in the Compaq LTE Lite Desktop Expansion Base with an upgrade
adapter, and (3) the Compaq LTE Elite in the Compaq MiniStation
(Figure D-1).
D.1 Docking In The Compaq Smartstation 
This section covers docking in the Compaq SmartStation and includes the
following:
o Docking and undocking the Compaq LTE Elite
o Docking and undocking the Compaq LTE Lite (with SmartStation Adapter)
o Manually ejecting either computer
The Compaq SmartStation cannot be turned on until the computer is docked. 
						

							To dock the computer, the user inserts the computer into the expansion base
docking bay. Docking is completed by an automatic docking mechanism in the
expansion base. If a motor timeout occurs while docking, the motor reverses
direction and undocks the computer (not available in some early production
units).
If the computer does not undock automatically due to a power outage or
system malfunction, the computer can be manually ejected from the expansion
base, as described under Using the Manual Eject Override in this section.
If the expansion base does not dock or undock the computer automatically,
it may emit an audible beep or display an on screen error message (refer to
Chapter 7, Compaq SmartStation Troubleshooting).
Before Docking the Compaq LTE Elite
Table D-1 compares docking capabilities of the Compaq LTE Elite when
operating in the preinstalled Windows 3.1 environment and in non-Windows
3.1 environments.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: In addition to the computer state and operating environment, the
following conditions can also prevent docking: 
						

							- The expansion base is locked with the key.
- The external options connector door is closed.
- A motor timeout occurs that is caused by physical interference
during docking, failure of the motor position sensor, etc.
===========================================================================
Docking the Compaq LTE Elite
To dock the Compaq LTE Elite in the Compaq SmartStation, complete the
following steps:
1. Connect the expansion base to an electrical outlet.
2. Turn off and disconnect any external devices that are connected to the
computer.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION >>>>>>
						

							7. Unlock the expansion base keylock (Figure D-3). 
						

							8. Slide the computer forward in the docking bay until you feel the
computer being pulled from your hands (Figure D-4).
NOTE: If the expansion base beeps or if the docking mechanism pushes
the computer toward you, the computer cannot dock in the
expansion base. Verify that you have completed steps 1 through 8
and try again. If the computer still does not dock, refer to
Chapter 7 for troubleshooting information. 
						

							9. Turn on external devices that are connected to the expansion base.
10. Be sure that A/B and C/D drive selection switches are correctly set
(Section C.3).
11. Turn the system on with the power switch on the computer or the power
switch on the expansion base.
NOTE: The first time you dock the Compaq LTE Elite in the expansion
base, you may be prompted to run Computer Setup to configure
optional devices. The computer automatically detects and
configures many optional devices. In some instances you are
prompted to accept or reject a configuration change. Follow the
instructions on the screen to change the system configuration.
Refer to Section 6.7 for more information on running Computer
Setup.
12. To turn off the computer (but remain docked) use one of the following
methods:
o Save and close open files, then turn off the power switch on the
expansion base or the power switch on the computer.
o Enter Shutdown at the DOS prompt or select Shutdown from the Compaq
Utilities group box within Microsoft Windows, then save open files
