MEMORY SWITCH ERROR IN IBM GUIDE
|
||
TO OPERATIONS FOR IBM PORTABLE PC
|
||
|
||
|
||
When extending the memory size of the IBM Portable PC beyond the
|
||
128K minimum capacity of the system motherboard, the procedure is
|
||
essentially the same as that for the XT.
|
||
|
||
Additional memory may be installed on the I/O bus without first
|
||
fully populating the motherboard. However, it is necessary to
|
||
indicate the amount of motherboard memory installed via switches
|
||
3 and 4 of the system motherboard switch block.
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, page 4-81 of the IBM Guide to Operations Manual
|
||
erroneously shows that the switch position for 256K on the
|
||
motherboard is switch 3 off and switch 4 on. This is actually
|
||
the setting for 128K of RAM.
|
||
|
||
The following is the proper settings for switches 3 and 4 of the
|
||
system motherboard switch block.
|
||
|
||
AMOUNT OF MEMORY SWITCH SWITCH
|
||
INSTALLED ON MOTHERBOARD 3 4
|
||
|
||
128K OFF ON
|
||
|
||
192K ON OFF
|
||
|
||
256K (fully populated) OFF OFF
