1. In Control Panel, open Network and install network support. When prompted, click Select From List, then Have
Disk and enter the path c:\hp\drivers\lan. Select the 3Com ethernet adapter. You may be prompted for the location
of NT files one or two times--first try the path c:\i386, then use the path c:\hp\drivers\lan.
2. Plug in the AC adapter and reinstall the Windows NT service pack from the Recovery CD. To do this, click Start,
Run, then browse to
\NT4_SP
X
\Sp
X
i386.exe on the Recovery CD, where
X
is the Service Pack number
.
3. Click Start, Run, then type or browse to c:\hp\drivers\lan\tdiinst.exe. This installs power management capabilities.
Standby Mode and the F1477A Docking System
The computer may lock up if the computer is suspended while docked to the F1477A docking system. This
is true even if the Phoenix APM driver is loaded. To avoid suspending:
* Do not push the blue power button.
* Do not press Fn+R on the keyboard.
* Leave Time-out on AC disabled in the BIOS Setup.
Using PC Cards
Use of some point-enabled cards and possibly other cards may prevent the system from hibernating when
battery power is low. Instead, the batteries can drain to the point of a nonrecoverable shutdown (data is
lost). To prevent this from happening when using these cards, do not leave the system unattended when the
batteries may drain to this low level. Instead, either connect a charger or power the system off. If APM is
installed on the computer, the system will warn about low battery conditions. You should save any data at
this time.
Using multiple PC Cards configured with Auto configuration may cause IRQ conflicts. If this occurs,
configure the PC Cards manually when more than one is installed. When installing an ATA disk, run
winmsd.exe in \winnt\system32\ and click the Resources tab to find an unused IRQ (not displayed in the
list). In the factory configuration, IRQ 9 is usually available. Click OK to quit winmsd and then manually
configure the disk to the available IRQ.
Installing VirusScan and Card Executive
If you will be installing both McAfee VirusScan and Card Executive, install McAfee VirusScan first.
If you've already installed Card Executive, install the Windows NT Service Pack (see the next topic) before
installing VirusScan. If you don't install the Service Pack after Card Executive, you may get an error while
installing VirusScan. If you already got this error, install the Service Pack, then VirusScan.
Reinstalling the Service Pack for Windows NT 4.0
A recent Service Pack is installed by default in the original HP software. It is located on Recovery CD in
the root directory \NT4_SP
X
, where
X
shows you the Service Pack number on your computer. Follow these
steps if you need to install it again:
1. Connect the ac adapter and turn on the computer.
2. From the Start menu, click Run.
