View source for Installing OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 on a ThinkPad T430s

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T430s}} 2356-LPG, BIOS G7ETA6WW (2.66), Firmware G7HT39WW (1.15)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} Leap 42.2 installation using KDE. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| Leap 42.1| T430s}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here.

== Graphics ==
Using the default BIOS settings, the [[Switchable Graphics]] with [[Intel HD Graphics]] and [[NVIDIA Optimus]] may cause high power consumption. Thus, if you do not need the NVIDIA Optimus graphics, change the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the NVIDIA Optimus graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Network ==

=== Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM20702 ===
The non-persistent firmware of this Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (USB ID 0a5c:21e6) can be updated by the kernel by installing [https://software.opensuse.org/package/bcm20702a1-firmware bcm20702a1-firmware].

{{HINT|
In case this package does not work or you have a different BCM20702 based adapter, please open a bug report on <tt>bugzilla.opensuse.org</tt> providing the name of the firmware patch file and the USB ID by checking the kernel log lines containing <tt>BCM</tt>.}}

=== GPS ===
The [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module|Ericsson HSPA+ WWAN Minicard (H5321gw)]] must be configured every time before it emits GPS data, see [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module#GPS|H5321gw GPS]].

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Since I do not have a swap partition, I did not test suspend to disk.
