Using Windows Nt - HP OmniBook 900 Evaluation Manual

Using Windows NT 4.0

Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4a (Service Pack 5 on the OmniBook
900 B) comes factory-installed on the OmniBook 900. You can get
Service Pack 5 from Microsoft's web site and on the OmniBook 900 B
Recovery CD. The following procedure installs a retail version of
Windows NT 4.0 and configures the appropriate device drivers.
Windows NT 4.0 is not Advanced Power Management (APM) aware or
Plug and Play (PnP) compatible. If you are not using the Windows NT 4.0
OmniBook Mobile Enhancements, the following will occur:
•
PC Cards (PCMCIA) cannot be hot swapped into any laptop with
Windows NT. Windows NT 4.0 does not support dynamic allocation
of resources. PC Cards must be inserted into the unit before booting.
•
PC Card sockets are not enabled after resuming. PC Cards are
inoperable after a true suspend then resume cycle. Rebooting restarts
the sockets.
•
The operating system's clock is stopped when suspended and does not
re-synchronize with the hardware clock when resuming. When users
resume NT's clock starts up exactly where it was when they
suspended. Rebooting resets the clock.
