IBM XT Instructions:
|
||
|
||
1. Turn off the system unit, and disconnect the power cables, monitor and
|
||
keyboard cables and any cables that may be connected to expansion boards.
|
||
Remove the monitor and the keyboard. Place the System unit in a convenient
|
||
work area.
|
||
2. Take off the cover from the system unit by removing the 5 screws on the
|
||
back (4 corners and top center), slide the cover forward and tip up to remove
|
||
completely.
|
||
3. Take out any boards installed in the expansion slots by removing the hold
|
||
down screw at the rear of the chassis, and pulling the card straight up.
|
||
4. The floppy disk drives will have to be removed to gain access to portions of
|
||
the mother board. This is done by removing the screws on the left side of the
|
||
drive(s). Gently slide the drive(s) out of the unit far enough to get at the
|
||
cables plugged into the back of them. Making note of where each cable goes,
|
||
remove the data and power cables by gently pulling them away from the drive.
|
||
When the cable are off, remove the drive(s) from the chassis and set them
|
||
aside.
|
||
5. Refer to figure 1 and locate the jumper block labeled E2 on the
|
||
motherboard. It is located near the edge of the board near the power supply.
|
||
6. A jumper has to be installed between pads 1 and 2 on E2. This can be done
|
||
without removing the mother board using a short piece of wire. Hold the wire
|
||
with a pair of needle nose pliers and heat up one of the pads with a soldering
|
||
iron. When the solder melts, push the wire into the pad and remove the
|
||
soldering iron. Do the same thing with the other end of the wire and pad.
|
||
7. Refer to figure 1 and locate the IC socket labeled U84 on the mother board.
|
||
This will be an empty socket near the front of the board, underneath where the
|
||
floppies were mounted. Install the 74LS158 chip in this socket making sure
|
||
pin 1 (marked with a dot or notch) is pointing away from the front panel.
|
||
8. Remove the 64k RAM chips in the rows labeled BANK 0 and BANK 1 (9 in each
|
||
bank) on the mother board using an IC puller. If you currently only have 128k
|
||
of memory on the mother board (BANK's 2 and 3 empty) you can move these chips
|
||
to those banks. Be careful not to damage the pins when removing them (you can
|
||
sell them to a friend whose machine has amnesia).
|
||
9. Install the 256k RAM chips in the now empty sockets of BANK 0 and BANK 1
|
||
making sure they are installed correctly with pin 1 pointing away from the
|
||
front panel. You should now have 2 banks (0 and 1) of 256k RAM chips, and 2
|
||
banks (2 and 3) of 64k RAM chips, giving you a total of 640k.
|
||
10. Refer to figure 1 and locate the switch block, SW1 on the mother board.
|
||
Make sure that switch positions 3 and 4 are in the OFF position.
|
||
11. Re-install the floppy drive(s) by sliding them into the front panel about
|
||
half way and reconnect the data and power cables in the same locations they
|
||
came off of. Push the drive(s) the rest of the way in and anchor them with
|
||
the screws removed earlier.
|
||
12. Re-install the your expansion boards (minus any memory boards that used to
|
||
be in the system) in the reverse order of when you took them out. 13. Put the
|
||
cover back on, re-connect the cables and install your monitor and keyboard.
