4 Software Installation
Do NOT use "Copy an option diskette" from the Reference Menu.
Software Installation
Updating Your Backup Copy of the Reference Diskette
It is recommended that you never use your original IBM® Reference diskette when
installing hardware. If you have not already done so, follow the instructions below to
make a backup copy of your IBM Reference Diskette:
1. Boot from your most current Reference diskette.
2. From the Main Menu, select "Backup the Reference Diskette."
3. Follow the instructions until the process has completed.
The DataCard-16 package is supplied with a Kingston Option Diskette. There is an
installation program on the Kingston diskette. Use this program to copy the Kingston
option files to your backup IBM Reference diskette. Note: for REPLY
motherboards, follow the special installation instructions located in "Appendix F
Troubleshooting".
®
Running the INSTALL Program
The Kingston Option diskette includes an INSTALL.EXE program which MUST be
run to correctly install the configuration files to your backup Reference diskette. If you
run "Copy an option diskette" from the IBM Reference Menu, it will recognize the
DataCard in its system configuration, but will not install the memory correctly.
You must run the INSTALL program from the Kingston Option
diskette to copy the Kingston files to your backup Reference
diskette or the configuration will not complete successfully.
Before you start, it's a good idea to backup your existing hard drive and have both the
Kingston Option diskette and your backup copy Reference diskette ready. This
portion of the installation requires the use of DOS. If you are running OS/2, opening a
DOS window will satisfy this requirement. If you use an operating system that cannot
simulate DOS, boot your system from a DOS diskette.
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
Page 15
Software Installation 5
The following steps show you how to install the option files from the Kingston
diskette to your backup copy Reference diskette.
1. Turn on or reboot your computer (from hard disk or bootable DOS
diskette) and get to the DOS prompt.
2. Remove the boot diskette from drive A, if present, and insert the
Kingston Option diskette. At the prompt, type:
A: and press [Enter].
3. To start the INSTALL program, type:
INSTALL and press [Enter].
You will see the following display on your computer screen:
INSTALLATION Version 1.30
(C) Copyright 1990, 1992 KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
F1 Install Configuration Files onto Reference Diskette
F2 Install KEMM.SYS EMS Driver onto a Working Disk.
F3 Change Existing EMS Driver Parameters
F4 Exit and Back to DOS
4. Select [F1] to copy the Kingston Option files to your backup
Reference Diskette
Note: Because the DataCard-16 does not have EMS hardware for Expanded Memory,
the F2 and F3 menu functions do not apply. This INSTALL program is also used for
other Kingston Memory boards which do contain EMS hardware.
Now that you have updated your backup Reference diskette with the Kingston option
files, you are now ready to install the DataCard-16 into your machine.
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation

6 Software Installation
For OS/2 2.0 Users
The DataCard-16 is designed to run OS/2 2.0 or later. If you are running OS/2 1.3 or
earlier, you should first upgrade to version 2.0 before using the DataCard. Where
OS/2 2.0 is already installed on your internal hard drive, add the following line to your
CONFIG.SYS file before adding the DataCard-16:
1. Using your favorite text editor, edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Look for a line that starts " BASEDEV= ".
3. At the end of this section, insert a blank line and add
BASEDEV=IBMINT13.I13
4. Reboot your system.
Now OS/2 will see the DataCard-16 as a secondary hard drive. If the BASEDEV line
is not added to your CONFIG.SYS file, OS/2 will report a COUNTRY.SYS error.
Note: When installing OS/2 onto the DataCard-16, after OS/2 has finished the
installation phase and prompts you to reboot the system, in some instances the reboot
does not fully reset the system and will cause a blank gray screen. To clear, simply
cold boot the machine by turning power off and then on.
For OS/2 2.1 Users
If you are installing the DataCard-16 in an IBM PS/2 Model 56, you will need to
remark out a "BASEDEV" line from the CONFIG.SYS file on the OS/2 diskette #1
PRIOR to OS/2 2.1 installation. Follow the steps below to modify the CONFIG.SYS
file:
1. Insert the OS/2 2.1 Diskette #1 into Drive A, and type:
A: [Enter]
2. Using your favorite text editor, edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Go to the BASEDEV=IBM2M57.ADD line and remark it out by inserting a
REM statement as follows:
REM BASEDEV=IBM2M57.ADD
4. Save your changes and begin the OS/2 2.1 installation as instructed.

8 Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
The DataCard-16 uses IBM standard 72-pin SIMMs and, in some cases, the memory
may already be installed. If you do not plan to add or remove any SIMMs, you can
skip this section and go to "Installing the DataCard."
Installing SIMM Modules
The DataCard-16 has four sockets labeled P1, P2, P3, and P4 into which you can plug
from one to four SIMM modules. The DataCard-16 uses 2MB and 4MB SIMMs. It
does not support: 1MB memory modules; or memory modules that are slower than 85
nanoseconds. These modules are incompatible with the DataCard-16.
Note: Do NOT use 1MB SIMMs (Kingston P/N: KTM1000/M70)
To install a SIMM module, carefully push the SIMM into the socket until it is firmly
seated. Then push the SIMM gently toward the memory board until the flanges shown
in Figure 1-1 snap over either end of the module.

Installing the DataCard
Now you are ready to install the DataCard-16 into your PS/2 computer. Keep in mind
the precautions on static electricity and magnetized tools and be sure that you are
grounded when touching any electrical components. The following steps will guide
you through the physical installation of the DataCard-16.
STEP 1
• Turn power off from the computer.
• Disconnect any cables from the unit.
STEP 2
• Open the chassis.
• Locate one available 16-bit expansion slot. Remember: the DataCard-16
can be plugged into any expansion slot, but should use the slot nearest the
fixed disk adapter so as not to interfere with any other cards.
• Remove the expansion slot bracket.
STEP 3
• Place the DataCard-16 into the 16-bit expansion slot.
• Make sure the DataCard-16 is inserted into the guide channels and properly
seated into the expansion slot.
• Secure the adapter card to the expansion slot with the thumb screw.
STEP 4
• Replace the cover and reattach any cables that were disconnected.
The hardware portion of the installation procedure is now complete. You may want to
leave the cover off during the remainder of the installation process in case it becomes
necessary to move the DataCard-16 for troubleshooting purposes.

10 Configuring the System
Configuring the System
At this point, the DataCard-16 is installed and needs to be configured before it can be
recognized by the system. Follow the steps below to add the DataCard-16 to your
system configuration. After rebooting, if you experience any conflicts with other
adapter cards currently in your machine, you may need to change the DataCard-16
settings to correct any address conflicts. To manually configure or change the default
settings of the DataCard-16, refer to "Appendix A Manual Configuration" in the
Appendices section of this manual.
1. Insert your backup Reference diskette (onto which you've already
copied the files from the Kingston Option diskette) into the floppy
drive.
2. Turn on or reboot your computer.
3. The system will boot up automatically from the backup Reference
diskette. When the IBM logo appears, press [ENTER] as prompted.
After a few seconds, the system will prompt you: "Do you want to
automatically configure the system? (Y/N)?" Press [N] for No.
4. From the main menu, select "Set Configuration."
5. Then select "Change Configuration."
6. If you have an internal IBM hard disk already installed and are adding
the DataCard as a second drive, it is important to know the drive type
number. Page down the Change Configuration menu to the last
expansion slot. It should look something like this:
slot x - IBM Hard Disk Adapter
Type of first drive..........[ 32]
Type of second drive.....[ 0]
In this example, the IBM internal hard drive type is 32. Write down
your drive type number below for future reference.

7. You should see the DataCard in one of the expansion slots. Preferably
in the slot closest to the IBM Hard Disk Adapter. There is no need to
change the settings unless you see an asterisk denoting a conflict. Press
[F10] followed by an [Enter] to save the configuration.
8. Press the exit key twice ([ESC] or [F3] depending on version) to exit.
To restart the system, press [Enter].
9. At this point, the system will do a "cold boot" as if it had just been
powered on. During the memory count, you should see any additional
memory from the DataCard added to your system.
Your DataCard needs to be prepared before you can store data on it. Turn to
the next section, "Preparing Your Disk" to complete the installation of your
DataCard. The DataCard-16 can be configured for DOS, OS/2 2.0 or
higher, and Windows NT. Refer to the section regarding your particular
operating system.
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation
Page 22
12 DOS: Running FDISK
Preparing the Disk
Now that the DataCard-16 is installed in your PS/2 machine, the hard drive needs to be
partitioned and formatted before it can store data. This section will take you through a
basic disk drive preparation for DOS, OS/2, and Windows NT 3.1 and 3.5 where your
internal hard drive contains the operating system and you are adding the DataCard as
the second hard drive. In the examples below, your internal hard drive remains the
boot drive. To configure the DataCard-16 as the boot drive on your system, refer to
"Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive".
For DOS
Running FDISK
FDISK is located in your DOS directory on either your existing hard drive or on a
DOS diskette. This program creates partitions on the hard drive. The hard drive must
be partitioned before it can be formatted using the FORMAT command. When
running FDISK, the disk can be partitioned as one entire primary partition, one entire
non-bootable extended partition, or divided into separate primary and extended logical
drives.
If you are running DOS 4.0 or higher, it is best to configure the DataCard-16 as one
entire primary partition to use all the disk space as one drive letter. If you are running
DOS 3.3, there is a 32MB size limit for each partition. Be careful to note how drive
letters are assigned depending on the number of physical drives and the number of
primary partitions. Refer to Appendix C How DOS Assigns Drive Letters for more
information.
In the example below, we will partition the DataCard-16 as one entire primary
partition using DOS 5.0. As a primary partition, the DataCard-16 can use the Select
Boot Feature to boot the system or be configured as the default boot drive in your
system.
The DataCard-16 can also be partitioned as one entire non-bootable extended partition.
If your internal hard drive is already partitioned into several drive letters, this type of
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
Page 23
DOS: Running FDISK 13
configuration would avoid reassigning drive letters based on the order of primary
partitions. The DataCard-16 would use the next available drive letter.
To run FDISK, follow these steps:
1. From the DOS prompt, type:
FDISK [Enter]
You should see the following screen display:
MS-DOS Version 5.0
Fixed Disk Setup Program
(C)Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1983 - 1991
FDISK Options
Current fixed disk drive: 1
Choose one of the following:
1. Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive
2. Set active partition
3. Delete partition or Logical DOS Drive
4. Display partition information
5. Change current fixed disk drive
Enter choice: [1]
Press Esc to exit FDISK
Note: Option 5 is present only when two hard drives are detected on the
system.
2. You will see the "Current fixed disk drive: 1" message. If the DataCard is the
only physical drive on your system, skip to Step 3 below. If the DataCard is
the second physical drive, select Option 5 to change the current fixed disk drive
to "2".
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation

Choose one of the following:
1. Create Primary DOS Partition
2. Create Extended DOS Partition
3. Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in the Extended DOS Partition
Enter choice: [1]
Press Esc to return to FDISK Options
4. Now select Option 1 Create Primary DOS Partition.
You should see the following screen display:
Create Primary DOS Partition
Current fixed disk drive: 2
Do you wish to use the maximum available size for a Primary DOS
Partition and make the partition active Y/N) ........? [Y]
Press Esc to return to FDISK Options
5. To partition the DataCard-16 as one primary DOS partition, press [Enter] to
accept. This type of partitioning will use the entire disk as one drive letter.
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
Page 25

6. After DOS has completed the partition process, the following message appears
on the screen:
Create Primary DOS Partition
Current fixed disk drive: 2
Do you wish to use the maximum available size for a Primary DOS
Partition and make the partition active Y/N) ........? [Y]
Primary DOS Partition created, drive letters changed or added
Press Esc to return to FDISK Options
7. To exit, press the Escape key. If you wish to view the DataCard-16's partition
information, select Option 4 Display partition information, otherwise press the
Escape key again to exit FDISK. The system will reboot.
The DataCard-16 is now partitioned and ready to be formatted. Continue with
"Running FORMAT" in the next section to complete the DOS installation.
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation
Page 26
16 DOS: Running FORMAT
Running FORMAT
FORMAT is located in your DOS directory on either your existing hard drive or on a
DOS diskette. This program creates a root directory and file allocation table (FAT) to
prepare the disk for storing data. For more detailed information on using the FORMAT
command, refer to your DOS Manual.
To continue with our example, we have exited FDISK and rebooted the system from
the internal hard drive, drive C:. The DataCard-16 is now recognized by your system
as drive D: even if your internal hard drive was partitioned into several drives. This is
because DOS assigns drive letters in order of primary partitions first, and then
extended partitions.
For example, let's say your internal hard drive has two partitions: a primary partition
and an extended partition (C: and D:). When the system boots from the internal hard
drive, its primary partition becomes drive C:, the DataCard's primary partition
becomes drive D:, and the extended partition on the internal hard drive will follow as
drive E:. Remember, your path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and any other
software pointers that used to point to drive D: on the internal hard drive's extended
partition must be changed to reflect drive E: now.
In our example, we have partitioned the DataCard-16 as one primary partition under
DOS 5.0. Follow the instructions below for formatting the primary partition. If you
are using DOS version 3.x which has a size limitation of 32MB per logical, you must
run FORMAT for each logical. After you have formatted the primary partition,
continue with formatting the extended partitions until each partition on the DataCard16 has been formatted.
Formatting the Primary Partition
FORMAT D:/S/V
where: /S copies the system files to make the drive bootable.
/V to prompt for a volume label.
Note: The above example assumes your system is running DOS
5.0, and you have partitioned the DataCard as one primary
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
Page 27
DOS: Running FORMAT 17
partition. Older versions like DOS 3.x had a size limit of 32MB
per logical. If you have partitioned the DataCard into several
logicals, use the next example for all consecutive extended
partitions.
Formatting Extended Partitions
FORMAT x:/V
where: x is drive letter of DataCard extended drive(s).
/V to prompt for a volume label.
Note: If the DataCard has been partitioned into several logical
drives, the FORMAT command must be run for each logical
drive.
After FORMAT has completed successfully, it will then prompt you for a volume
label. Your screen should look like the screen below. Letters in bold are commands
you have typed. For volume label, use any name that describes the DataCard-16 to
differentiate it from other hard drives in your system. For example, use the name
"DATACARD".
C:\FORMAT D:/S/V
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE D: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N? Y
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)? DATACARD
Congratulations, you have finished installing and configuring your new DataCard-16
to work in a DOS environment. To make the DataCard-16 the boot drive for your
system, refer to "Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive".

In most cases, the default settings of the DataCard-16 will not need to be changed. If a
conflict occurs with another adapter card in your machine, the DataCard addresses can
be changed to correct any conflicts. If for any reason you need to change the default
settings on the DataCard-16, follow the steps below:
1. Boot from the backup Reference diskette.
2. At the IBM logo, press [Enter]
3. From the Main Menu, choose "Set Configuration"
4. Then select "Change Configuration"
You will see your system configuration on the screen. Look at the expansion slots to
see what adapters are found. If any of the hardware addresses have an asterisk (*) by
them, this denotes an address conflict. Highlight the option and press [F5] or [F6] to
change the address. The following sections explain the DataCard's hardware addresses.
DataCard Settings
The DataCard has software selectable settings for I/O base address, BIOS PROM
address, and interrupt level (IRQ).
Controller I/O Address
Default: 8020 - 803f
Options: 8120 - 813f
8220 - 823f
8320 - 833f
This is the base I/O address range for the DataCard. The Set Configuration program
will display an asterisk next to this address if there is a conflict with another adapter
card. Press [F6] until you see an address that does not conflict.

BIOS PROM Address
Default: D4000h Dos-OS/2 non-boot
D6000h Dos-OS/2 bootable
C8000h Dos-OS/2 bootable
CA000h Dos-OS/2 non-boot
CC000h Dos-OS/2 non-boot
CE000h Dos-OS/2 non-boot
D0000h Dos-NT bootable
D2000h Dos-NT non-boot
This selects the base address of the BIOS PROM. The default setting is D4000h for
DOS or OS/2 non-bootable, but can be changed to another address if desired. For
Windows NT, use D0000h bootable or D2000h non-bootable. If you have another
hard drive currently on your system, it will remain the boot drive at any non-boot
address setting and the DataCard will be the second physical drive on your system. If
the DataCard is the only hard drive on your system, it will become the boot drive and
boot the system from any address listed.
Select Boot feature: You can select the hard drive to boot from while the system is
powering on by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 just after the Kingston logo appears (Press the
keys after the Kingston logo appears or you may encounter a 301 keyboard error). As
the system is booting up, you will see the following message:
Kingston Technology Corp. Copyright (c) 1993.
BIOS version xxx
At this point quickly press Ctrl+Alt+F1. You have only a few seconds to do so. In the
following example, the internal hard drive is the boot drive and you wish to boot from
the DataCard-16. The screen will now display:
First drive is original.
Press B to swap, or ENTER to bypass timer.
Pressing "B" on the keyboard will change the boot disk from the internal hard drive to
the DataCard-16. If you change your mind, press [Enter] to bypass, or let the timer
count down to zero and it will boot from the default disk. This procedure will not
permanently change the boot drive default.

30 Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive
Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive
The DataCard-16 can be configured as the boot device for your computer even if there
are other hard drives currently on your system. Configuring the DataCard-16 as the
boot drive involves two steps: (1) selecting a bootable address from the Reference
diskette, and (2) running FDISK to set the active primary partition from the DataCard-
16.
You will need the following items to complete this procedure:
DOS OS/2
• Your backup copy Reference diskette • Your backup copy Reference diskette
• A bootable DOS diskette • Complete set of OS/2 diskettes
Windows NT
• Your backup copy Reference diskette
• DataCard Option diskette
• Microsoft Setup diskette for CD-ROM Installation
Note: the DataCard-16 must already be partitioned and formatted with a primary
partition as discussed earlier in the "Preparing the Disk" section of this manual.
To configure the DataCard-16 as the boot drive, follow the steps below:
1. Insert your backup copy of the IBM Reference diskette into Drive A.
2. Turn on or reboot the computer.
3. From the main menu, select Set Configuration.
4. Now select Change Configuration.
5. The DataCard-16 should be listed in one of the expansion slots. Change the
BIOS PROM Address to one of the following based on your particular
operating system:
C8000h Dos-OS2 bootable for DOS or OS/2
D6000h Dos-OS2 bootable for DOS or OS/2
D0000h Dos-NT bootable. for DOS or Windows NT

Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive 31
6. Press [F10] to save changes. Press [Enter] to Continue when prompted. To
exit press Esc or [F3] (depending on Reference diskette version) until you
are prompted to restart the system. Reboot to make changes permanent.
The second phase of configuring the DataCard-16 as the boot drive depends on your
operating system. Follow the applicable section: DOS, OS/2, or Windows NT.
DOS
Remove the backup Reference diskette and insert a bootable DOS diskette. The
reason we are booting from a floppy disk is to set the active primary partition to the
DataCard. If we boot from the internal hard drive, FDISK will not allow you to
change the active partition. If you try booting the machine from the DataCard-16
without the primary partition active, the system will boot into ROM BASIC, instead of
DOS.
Caution: It is important to boot from a floppy disk to run FDISK. Booting from
the DataCard without the primary partition active will boot the system into ROM
BASIC instead of DOS.
Follow the steps below to run FDISK:
1. From the A: drive, type FDISK.
2. FDISK will display the following message:
WARNING! No partitions are set active - disk 1 is not
startable unless a partition is set active.
3. Select Option 2 "Set active partition"
4. Enter the number of the primary partition as prompted.
5. Exit FDISK and restart your computer.

32 Appendix B Configuring DataCard as the Boot Drive
OS/2
When making the DataCard-16 the boot drive in OS/2, it is recommended that you
install the OS/2 operating system on the DataCard. First, verify that the DataCard
BIOS PROM Address is set to either C8000h or D6000h OS/2 bootable address. To
install OS/2 onto the DataCard-16, insert the Install disk into Drive A and boot the
machine. Follow the screen prompts to install OS/2. For more information on OS/2
installation, refer to your OS/2 documentation.
Windows NT
When making the DataCard-16 the boot drive with Microsoft Windows NT, there is a
device driver which allows the DataCard to be recognized by the system. First, verify
that the DataCard BIOS PROM Address is set to D0000h Windows NT bootable
address. Then, follow the installation instructions as described previously in the
"Preparing the Disk" section of this manual. For the latest updates and changes, refer
to the README.DOC file on the Kingston diskette.
Installing Windows NT 3.5
Windows NT 3.5 uses an installation utility, WINNT.EXE, to install the operating
system. This utility has several command line switches which may be used depending
on your system requirements. If you are installing Windows NT 3.5 after the Data
Card-16 is already installed, you must use the following command line switches when
running the WINNT installation utility:
WINNT /x /b [Enter]
where /x = Do not create the Setup boot floppies.
/b = Floppyless operation.
Use the switches listed above to ensure proper Windows NT installation. Refer to
your Microsoft documentation to properly install the Windows NT operating system.

Appendix C How DOS Assigns Drive Letters 33
Appendix C How DOS Assigns Drive Letters
This section describes how DOS assigns drive letters to the storage devices in your
computer. The term "drive letter" refers to the letters used by the operating system to
access the various storage devices in your computer such as floppy disk drives, and
hard-disk drives. For example, drive C: is normally the hard-disk from which the
computer boots and drive A: is a floppy disk.
Floppy Disk Drives
Drive letters A & B are always reserved for floppy drives.
Hard Disks - Overview
Before DOS can store data on a hard drive, it must be prepared by first partitioning
and then formatting. The term "partitioning" means dividing the drive into sections
called partitions. A partition can be can be any size from 1MB to the size of the drive.
For example, a 200MB drive might be divided into 4 partitions of 50MB, 100MB,
20MB and 30MB. Or, it might be divided into 2 partitions of 125MB and 75MB.
Also, a drive can be configured as a single partition, in this case, 200MB. Partitioning
is done by running a program called FDISK.EXE.
Each partition must then be formatted before DOS can store files on the drive.
Formatting writes a particular type of information in each partition. This information
is called the "file system". The information contained in the file system is used by
DOS to manage the storage and retrieval of files in a partition. Formatting is done by
running a program called FORMAT.COM.
Types of Partitions
There are 2 types of partitions; primary and extended. A hard drive can have 1
primary partition and 1 extended partition. The extended partition can be further
divided into logical-drives, which, for all intents and purposes, are more partitions.
For instance, using the above example of a 200MB drive being divided into 4
partitions, 1 partition would be a primary partition, and the extended partition would
be divided into 3 logical drives.
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation
Page 44
34 Appendix C How DOS Assigns Drive Letters
Drive Letter Assignments for Hard Drives
The assignment of drive letters is determined by the system's hardware and software
configuration at the time the system is booted.
Each time the system is booted, DOS searches for hard drives and associated
partitions. When a drive/partition is encountered, the next available drive letter is
assigned to that drive/partition. For example, if DOS has already assigned the letter C
to a drive/partition, the next drive/partition would be assigned the letter D.
Single Drive System
In a system with only one hard drive, DOS assigns the letter C to the primary partition
and subsequent letters to the logical-drives in the extended partitions.
SINGLE DRIVE SYSTEM
Only Drive Encountered
2nd logical drive
Drive Letter = E
Extended
1st logical drive
Drive Letter = D
Primary Partition
Drive Letter = C

Partition
Page 45
Appendix C How DOS Assigns Drive Letters 35
Two Drive System
As with a single drive system, DOS assigns the letter C to the primary partition of the
first hard drive encountered. However in a two drive system, drive letter D is assigned
to the primary partition of the second hard drive. DOS then goes back to the first
drive and assigns drive letters to each of the logical drives in its extended partitions.
Then DOS switches back to the second hard drive and assigns letters to its extended
partition logical drives.

36 Appendix D Special SCSI Adapters
Appendix D Special SCSI Adapters
If your system contains a SCSI Controller Card, for example, Future Domain SCSI
Hard disk controller whose option ROM takes control of the system on bootup. It will
cause the DataCard to not be seen by your system.
There are two procedures to resolve this problem. First, check to see if the DataCard's
option ROM address comes before the SCSI option ROM address. Normally the
DataCard defaults to D4000h behind other adapters. Change the DataCard's option
ROM to an address before the Future Domain SCSI adapter. This should allow the
DataCard to load before the SCSI adapter.
If this procedure does not resolve the conflict, disable the SCSI option ROM from the
configuration menu of your IBM Reference diskette and load an IDD (installable
device driver) for the SCSI adapter in your CONFIG.SYS file. This will allow the
DataCard to initialize properly before the SCSI adapter takes control of the system
bus. For more information on using an installable device driver, consult the owner's
manual of your particular SCSI adapter.

Appendix E About Expanded Memory 37
Appendix E About Expanded Memory
If you have a 286 Micro Channel machine (PS/2 50, 50z, or 60) and need to use
Expanded (EMS) memory for older software applications, such as Lotus 123 version
2.x, you will be unable to use the DataCard's onboard memory as Expanded (EMS)
Memory. The DataCard-16 does not support Expanded memory. If you are running
software outside of Windows which specifically needs EMS memory, you have a
couple of options. You can use other third-party memory boards configured for
Expanded memory, such as Kingston's KTM609/16 memory board which does
support EMS memory.
You can also upgrade the processor to use 386-level memory management software.
Kingston offers the SX/Now!, a 386SX 25Mhz or 33Mhz processor upgrade or the
SLC/Now!, a 386SLC 20Mhz, 25Mhz, or 486SLC2 50Mhz version. You would then
be able to run 386-level Expanded memory drivers, such as DOS 5.0's EMM386,
Quarterdeck's QEMM386, Qualitas's BlueMAX, etc..
For 386SX machines (IBM PS/2 55SX, 65SX, 70, 80, etc.), use DOS 5.0's
EMM386.EXE memory manager. This driver has the ability to take Extended memory
and simulate Expanded memory if your software application requires it. Be sure to use
the RAM switch instead of NOEMS when loading the device. The RAM switch allows
EMM386 to load other devices high and work as an Expanded memory manager.
Using the NOEMS switch allows devices to be loaded high, but will not act as an
Expanded memory manager. Refer to your DOS Manual for instructions on how to
use EMM386.
Using Quarterdeck's QEMM 50/60
If you are using a version of QEMM 50/60 earlier than the release of Kingston's
DataCard-16, you will need to edit the MCA.ADL file in the QEMM directory. This
file contains a list of adapters which use ROM addresses in upper memory. The board
ID numbers are listed in numerical order. Find the appropriate place in the file and
add the following line:
71D4 Kingston DataCard
Save your changes and cold boot the computer by turning the power off and on to
reset the system. QEMM should now be able to recognize the DataCard-16.

38 Appendix F Troubleshooting
Appendix F Troubleshooting
201 Memory Parity Error and 164 Memory Size Error
If you are installing the DataCard-16 with memory, it is important to run the
INSTALL program from the Kingston diskette to copy the DataCard's option files to
your backup Reference diskette. If you use "Copy an option diskette" from the IBM
Reference diskette this will NOT configure the board correctly. Refer to "Running the
INSTALL program" in the Software Installation section of this manual. If errors still
occur, call Kingston Technical Support at (714) 435-2600.
301 Keyboard Error while booting into DOS
This error can occur by touching the keyboard during POST (Power-On-Self-Test). If
you wish to use the Select Boot Feature to boot the system from a hard drive other
than the default boot drive, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 after the Kingston logo appears. If these
keys are pressed before the Kingston logo appears, it will produce a 301 keyboard
error.
COUNTRY.SYS error while booting into OS/2 2.x
OS/2 needs to load a device to handle Interrupt 13. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
Search for " BASDEV= ". Insert a blank line at the end of this section to read,
BASDEV=IBMINT13.I13 . Save your changes and reboot the system.
Unable to set active primary partition in FDISK
When configuring the Datacard-16 as the boot drive, you must boot from a DOS
diskette to run FDISK and set the active primary partition from the DataCard-16.
Running FDISK from the internal hard drive will allow you to create primary and
extended partitions, but you will not be able to set the active partition. This is because
FDISK will only set the active partition from Disk 1. Whichever hard drive boots the
machine will be assigned as Disk 1 in FDISK. To correct this, boot your machine
from a floppy disk.
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3

Appendix F Troubleshooting 39
System Boots into ROM BASIC
Booting from the DataCard-16 without first setting the primary partition active will
boot the system into ROM BASIC. Refer to "Appendix B Configuring DataCard as
the Boot Drive" to set the primary partition active or change the DataCard's BIOS
PROM address to a non-bootable setting.
Memory Errors Using IBM SIMMs
Jumper W2 in the upper left corner of the DataCard-16 is set to position A for
compatibility with all IBM SIMM modules. Verify that jumper is in position A for
IBM compatibility. For Kingston 2MB, 4MB, and 8MB SIMMs, either jumper
position works fine. IBM and Kingston SIMM modules can be mixed.
Systems Using REPLY™ Motherboards
If your PS/2 computer has been upgraded with a REPLY system board, it will not
recognize memory on the DataCard-16. The REPLY board is designed to address a
full 16MB of RAM from its system board without searching micro channel expansion
ports for additional memory. For this reason, memory should be installed directly onto
the system board. Remove any memory from the DataCard-16 and install it on the
REPLY motherboard.
To configure the DataCard-16 on a REPLY motherboard, use the following guidelines:
1. DO NOT use the Kingston INSTALL program to copy the option files to
your REPLY Reference diskette. Only one file is required. Copy
"@71D4.ADF" from the OPTIONS directory on the Kingston diskette to the
REPLY Reference diskette.
2. Then continue with the installation of the DataCard-16 starting at "Configuring
the System" on page 9 of this manual.
