WnBookXP

PLEASE READ ME FIRST!!!

If your WinBookXP/XP5 is running Windows 95: no need to install anything! After you have started Windows 95 and registered the product, reboot your WinBook on the docking station, go to Control Panel, choose Add New Hardware and let Windows 95 detect the CD-ROM drive.

If your WinBookXP/XP5 is running MS-DOS 6.xx & Windows 3.xx: you will need to install drivers from the disk enclosed in the box with the docking station. Exit Windows, place the disk in drive A: and run "SETUP." Boot up with the WinBook on the docking station, and your CD-ROM drive will now be accessible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

There are two silver plates in a recessed area located in the rear, left side of the docking station? What are these for, and what is the hole for in one of the plates? One is just a cover for an empty slot, which is used to add adapter cards for other devices; other disk drives, tape drives, game ports, etc. and will accept any standard ISA card, up to $ \frac{3}{4} $ length. The other is the IDE adapter that controls the CD-ROM drive in the docking station; and the hole $ \underline{\text{would}} $ be for a speaker connection, $ \underline{\text{if}} $ it were connected; but is not, since a port is provided on the back of the docking station for external speaker connection.

What is the item enclosed in the docking station box that resembles a disk drive? This is provided, for your convenience, to adapt a $ 3\frac{1}{2} $' drive to properly fit in the $ 5\frac{1}{4} $" drive bay in the docking station, should you choose to mount such a drive at some future time.

Why do I sometimes have difficulty getting peripheral devices to operate after powering up the WinBookXP/XP5 on the docking station?

The most frequent cause of docking station difficulties is improper seating. We recommend you slide the WinBook into position on the alignment pins, place one hand behind the docking station, the other hand in front of the WinBook and press firmly.

I have both a WinBookXP and a WinBookXP5, can I use the same docking station for both machines?

In a word, no. There are physical differences between the two machines that preclude this.

Can I “hot-dock” my WinBookXP/XP5 on the docking station. For example, remove and/or insert the WinBook while the WinBook is powered on?

NO! This is something you must $ \underline{\text{never}} $ do. This will most likely result in damage to the WinBook, the docking station or both.

What is the blank panel next to the CD-ROM drive in my docking station?

This plastic panel covers a second $ 5\frac{1}{4} $ drive bay that you may use for adding a second hard drive, another floppy drive, or other peripheral devices that will fit in a standard $ 5\frac{1}{4} $ bay.

What is the cable laying in the bottom of the docking station?

This is a connector for a second floppy disk drive, should you choose to add one.

Can I use the duplex adapter supplied with the WinBook?

No. Ports for both mouse and keyboard are provided on the docking station.

Note to customers who have purchased docking stations with CD/ROM pre-installed

IDE CD/ROM drivers

If you have purchased a WinBook XP docking station with a CD/ROM pre-installed, the CD/ROM controller card and cables are already set up to work correctly. However, in order to use the CD/ROM in your docking station with the WinBook XP product line you must first install special software known as "device drivers". This special software allows the WinBook to access the ATAPI CD/ROM drive as a secondary IDE device. The driver is contained on a diskette that came with your docking station and may be installed as follows:

1. Make a backup copy of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files since the installation program will modify your existing files.

2. Install WinBook XP in docking station and turn on the dock.

3. Place CD/ROM driver diskette into WinBook floppy drive.

4. From the DOS prompt type:

A:

setup

Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the drivers. We recommend the drivers be installed in the directory C:\drivers\Toshiba and that you select the option to automatically update your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

6. You should now be able to access the CD/ROM drive as drive "D".

7. Reboot your WinBook XP by typing Ctrl-Alt-Del keys simultaneously or by powering the docking station off and back on.
