Introduction

Kingston Technology welcomes you to the growing family of IBM PS/2 users who

have chosen Kingston Memory Expansion options for their computers. As application

programs expand in size and complexity, the need for efficient and reliable memory

expansion becomes critical. Our aim is to provide you with high quality memory

expansion products that give maximum performance benefits at an affordable cost.

We have engineered our memory products to be durable, reliable, and trouble-free;

and we are confident that you will receive optimum performance from this Kingston

product for many years to come.

The information in this manual will guide you through the process of placing the

memory modules on the circuit board, installing the circuit board inside your

computer, and configuring the necessary software to recognize the new memory.

Please take a few moments to read through this manual now and familiarize yourself

with the procedures you will need to follow when you install the Kingston board and

software. This can save you a lot of anxiety later on.

We have tried to anticipate many of the problems that may arise during the

installation, and most of your questions will be answered by reading this manual.

However, if you encounter a situation that you cannot resolve, or have questions

regarding the installation or use of this product, please call Kingston Technical

General Description

The Kingston Technology KTM-609/16 Memory Expansion Board is capable of

adding up to 16MB of Random Access Memory to IBM PS/2 Models 50, 50z, 55sx,

60, and 65sx personal computer systems. There are three models of the KTM609/16:

Type I has four SIMM sockets with no memory soldered directly to the board; Type II

has 4MB soldered and three sockets for expansion; and Type III has 8MB soldered

with two sockets available. Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs) can be plugged

into the SIMM sockets on the KTM-609/16 board, and can be combined in a wide

variety of memory configurations. The KTM-609/16 board can be installed in any 16-

bit expansion slot on the PS/2 system board.

The KTM-609/16 Memory Expansion Board (shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3) support

both Extended (linear) memory and Expanded (paged) memory. It adheres to the

Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification (LIM) version 4.0 software to

enable memory paging. EMS 4.0 is compatible with applications written for EMS 3.2

and Enhanced Expanded Memory Specification (EMMS). Use Extended memory for

today's latest software to run under Microsoft Windows®and IBM OS/2®.

Package Contents

In addition to this manual, you should also receive the following items:

•One KTM-609/16 Memory Expansion Board

•One or more Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs), if applicable.

•One Kingston Option Diskette

If any item is missing or damaged, contact the Kingston dealer or distributor from

whom you purchased this upgrade.

Packaging Materials

Kingston memory boards are shipped in an anti-static plastic bag, inside a cushioned

box, which protects them from shock and static electricity that could cause severe

damage to the memory chips. Before you remove any memory component from its

packaging, be sure you discharge any static electricity by touching a securely

grounded metal object. Also, keep magnetized tools, such as magnetic screwdrivers,

away from the board and memory modules.

Before You Begin

Read through this manual before you begin installing the KTM-609/16 board, so

you’ll know what to expect as you go along. Although this is a relatively easy

installation, you may feel more comfortable asking your local Kingston dealer or

computer service center to do it for you. There will undoubtedly be a fee associated

with doing this, but your peace of mind may be worth the cost.

Pay special attention to Appendix A, “Extended vs. Expanded Memory.” If your

computer uses DOS, you will have to decide how much of your added Kingston

memory to allocate as Extended (linear) memory, and how much to allocate as

Expanded (paged) memory. If your computer uses Windows or OS/2, all added

memory should be allocated as Extended since Windows and OS/2 can address all

added memory directly. Also, if your PS/2 has a 386SX microprocessor or higher, it is

best to allocated all added memory as Extended. If Expanded memory is required, use

a 386-level Expanded Memory Manager, such as DOS's EMM386.EXE, located in

your DOS or WINDOWS directory with the RAM switch. Consult your DOS manual

for details.

Besides the contents of the KTM-609/16 memory upgrade package described earlier,

you will also need to prepare a backup copy of your IBM PS/2 Reference Diskette.

(Follow the instructions in the IBM PS/2 Quick Reference Manual to make the back

up copy if you don’t already have one.) You will also need a flat-tip, non-magnetic

screwdriver for the installation process.

Allow plenty of time for the installation and configuration process. It should take very

little time, but if you rush yourself, errors and set-backs are more likely to occur. We

want this process to go smoothly for you, so have patience and use caution.
