OVERVIEW
The IBM SelectaDock III is the latest addition to the IBM SelectaDock family. This modular expansion unit supports the new ThinkPad(R) 770 notebook as well as previously announced ThinkPad 765 models and selected models of the ThinkPad 760 systems.
When combined with the IBM SelectaBase 770 or SelectaDock Base Model I port replicator, the SelectaDock III system adds desktop function to the ThinkPad 770, 765, and selected models of the 760. SelectaDock III builds upon the cable management and security features provided by SelectaDock Base Model I and SelectaBase 770.
IBM SelectaDock III continues to support existing UltraBay(TM) and industry standard storage devices, two shared PCI/ISA slots, and one dedicated PCI slot. You can also take advantage of new SelectaDock III functions, such as PC 97 compliance, universal serial bus (USB) support, Wake on LAN(TM) (WOL) support, Ultrabay(TM) II compatible storage options for CD-ROMs, FDDs and HDDs, and SCSI-3. The new Wake on LAN feature of the ThinkPad 770 and SelectaDock III makes it easier to manage your ThinkPad 770 network clients, and can result in a lower total cost of ownership.
IBM SelectaDock III supports the existing UltraBay devices for ThinkPads 760 and 765 with the optional ThinkPad 760 UltraBay Options Tray for SelectaDock III.
For ThinkPad 760, 765, or ThinkPad 770 systems, you can start with the SelectaDock Base Model I for the ThinkPad 760 and 765, or SelectaBase 770 for the ThinkPad 770. As your computing requirements increase in complexity, you have the option to expand by adding SelectaDock III, which attaches to SelectaDock Base Model I or SelectaBase 770.
The addition of SelectaDock III to the SelectaDock family provides ThinkPad customers with outstanding investment protection and flexibility, plus support for the latest technologies.
INTENDED CUSTOMERS
The IBM SelectaDock III System will appeal to ThinkPad 770 and ThinkPad 760 and 765 customers who desire full-function, desktop capability or want to utilize their existing desktop components, plus benefit from convenient portability.
KEY PREREQUISITES
IBM SelectaDock III requires one of the following, depending on the ThinkPad system:
o IBM SelectaBase 770 for ThinkPad 770
o IBM SelectaDock Base Model I for ThinkPad 765 systems and selected 760
models

The IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock III system allows you to expand the functions of the new IBM ThinkPad 770 notebook as well as the previously announced ThinkPad 765 and selected models of ThinkPad 760 systems.
To provide cable management and security:
o The SelectaBase 770 Port Replicator (83H6735) can be used stand-alone with The ThinkPad 770.
o The SelectaDock Base Model I (39H7405) can be used stand-alone with the
ThinkPad 760 and 765 systems.
The SelectaBase 770 or SelectaDock Base Model I is a prerequisite for the
SelectaDock III (3547003).
MARKETING INFORMATION
Product Positioning
The IBM SelectaDock III is a modular expansion unit that "teams" with the prerequisite SelectaBase 770 or SelectaDock Base Model I to provide desktop function and expansion and to the ThinkPad 770, 765, and selected models of the ThinkPad 760 systems.
The SelectaDock family of docking solutions utilizes a modular design to provide you with the ultimate in expansion flexibility. Desktop capability can be provided without sacrificing portability. In addition, the SelectaDock III
lets you take advantage of advanced options and features normally only available to desktop users.
Marketing Strategy
Docking Station Market Requirements: Docking stations and convenience bases (port replicators) represent a critical piece of fulfilling the customer requirements for enhanced systems. Specifically, sophisticated users within the enhanced segment are unwilling to make trade-offs when moving from a desktop to a notebook PC. Likewise, corporate decision makers appreciate the promise of investment protection and expandability, that various docking alternatives provide. By providing comprehensive docking solutions that include industry standard slots and bays, as well as additional slots and bays that leverage the devices found in the notebook (such as, PC Cards and UltraBay(TM) devices), the promise of no-compromise functionality is delivered. For those users and accounts that do not have an immediate need for full, desktop-equivalent docking solutions, convenience bases provide an acceptable alternative at much lower prices and provide simple connection to peripheral devices and networks while at the desktop.

Hardware Requirements -- IBM Systems: The IBM SelectaDock III is supported on the following IBM platforms:
o ThinkPad 770 (with IBM SelectaBase 770)
o ThinkPads 760E, 760ED, 760EL, 760ELD, 760XD, 760XL, 765D, and 765L (with IBM
SelectaDock Base Model I)

PCMCIA slots Accept two type I or Type II PC cards, or one Type III card
PCI/ISA shared slots Three 32-bit PCI BUS connectors;
two 16-bit ISA BUS connectors
Limitations
o When using a ThinkPad 770 and SelectaBase 770 attached to a SelectaDock I or II, the system AC adapter must be connected to the SelectaBase 770.
o The SelectaDock III USB ports are not supported by the version of Windows 95 preinstalled on the ThinkPad 760 and 765 systems.
o When using the ThinkPad 770 with SelectaDock III, you should not disable the USB ports in SelectaDock III. Doing so may cause the system to hang when you attempt to warm-dock the system to the SelectaDock III. You can recover from this by doing a cold-boot of the system.
o The 32-bit CardBus feature of SelectaDock III is not supported for ThinkPad 760 and 765 systems. PCMCIA Release 2.1 cards are supported for these systems.
o When using the SCSI storage device (CD drive or HDD drive) with the secondary IDE or third IDE device, the SCSI drive will not appear after Re-Hot docking.
Cold boot => Hot undock => Hot docking
This is a Windows 95 restriction. To avoid this, it is required to fix the drive letters of the SCSI device by setting "Reserved Drive Letters" in the device manager.
- Cold boot
- Open device manager
- Double click "Disk Drives" ICON
- Double click Drive ICON
- Click "Setting" Tab in Drive Property Window
- Set the drive letter in "Reserved Drive Letters" box. If the "Reserved Drive Letters" area grayed out, click "Removable" check box and reboot. After this, follow same sequence of actions again starting with open device manager.
o A PCI Video Adapter Card and PCI Network Adapter Card cannot be used at the same time in the SelectaDock III.
o When the system is resumed from Standby Mode, Hot-Plug/Unplug of PCMCIA Release 2.1 Network Cards in the SelectaDock III PC Card Slots is not supported.
o When docked to ThinkPad 770, SelectaDock III does not support hot/warm docking in DOS and Windows 3.1.
o Even though the SelectaDock III system can support either external or internal diskette drives, you can use only one at a time.
o The SelectaDock III system does not support the REFRESH signal for an ISA BUS when the computer is attached. Therefore, the following ISA adapter cards are not supported:
- IBM-Multi Port Card (00F5529)
- IBM-Multi Port 2 Card (33F8791)
- DRAM memory cards
- ISA cards that use the REFRESH signal to detect whether the BUS is working
- ISA cards that use the REFRESH signal as a clock counter
o Suspend and resume functions
- Not supported when you dock the ThinkPad 760 or 765 in the SelectaDock III system.
- If you are using DOS or Windows 3.1, the suspend and resume functions are not supported if an ASPI8IBM.SYS (SCSI) driver is loaded.
- If you are using Windows 95, the suspend and resume functions are not supported when an AIC-7860 (SCSI) driver is loaded by Windows 95 and if it is enabled by the device manager (when the checkbox is selected).
- The suspend and resume functions are not supported if an adapter card or PC card is installed in a card slot in the SelectaDock III.
o When the I/O resources X'330' to X'333' are allocated to an adapter card installed in the SelectaDock system with the ThinkPad 760EL and 760L docked, you must disable the ESS function (audio) by using the ThinkPad Configuration program.
o For other limitations that may affect SelectaDock III, refer to Hardware Announcements PCC 97-393, and PCC 97-394, dated September 8, 1997.
