Hardware Installation

Install the MCMaster processor upgrade following these steps:

Preparing your Reference Disk

1.If you have not previously made a backup copy of the Reference disk that came with your PS/2 computer, you should do it now. Your original Reference disk should be write protected, and you won't be able to copy files onto it.

2.Power up the system with the backup copy of the Reference disk installed in Drive A.

3.The Reference disk will boot up, display the IBM logo, and prompt you "Press Enter to Continue." Press [ENTER], and wait for the menu to come up.

4.If you are prompted to run Automatic Configuration now, press [N] for No.

5.Select "Copy an option diskette" from the menu.

6.Follow the instructions that appear on the screen, inserting MCMaster option disk into the drive when instructed to insert the option disk. This copies configuration information from the Kingston disk onto your Reference disk.

Installing Memory

If you or your dealer have installed memory in MCMaster, it needs to be tested. Kingston supplies a diagnostic, MMDIAG.EXE, for this purpose contained on the Option diskette.

Memory Requirements

MCMaster uses IBM standard 32-bit wide, 70 nanosecond dynamic SIMM memory modules. SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Modules) that do not adhere to the IBM standard can cause compatibility problems.
