4Software Installation
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
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.
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.
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.
Do NOT use "Copy an option diskette" from the Reference Menu.

Software Installation 5
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation
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:
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.

6Software Installation
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
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.

Software Installation 7
DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3 Kingston Technology Corporation
The Software Installation is now complete. You are now ready to install the
DataCard-16 into your system. Continue with the next section, "Hardware
Installation."

8Hardware Installation
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
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
Kingston Technology Corporation DataCard-16 Installation Guide - Rev. C3
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.
