Appendix C Troubleshooting
Once installed, Kingston Memory Expansion Boards are virtually trouble-free. You
never need to give them a second thought. However, during the installation and
configuration process, you may encounter situations that will test your diagnostic skills
as well as your patience.

Error Messages

This section contains explanations of messages that may appear as a result of changes
you made while using the INSTALL program, or as the result of changes you made
directly to your CONFIG.SYS file. As a general rule, you should reboot the computer
with the backup Reference diskette, fix the problem, and then reboot the computer
from its standard diskette or hard drive.
In the event you see one of the hardware-related messages, you need to review the
procedure you used to install the memory modules on the circuit board and the
procedure you used to install the circuit board into the computer chassis.
An equal sign (=) was expected.
This message indicates you left out a required equal sign from one of the command
options in the CONFIG.SYS file. Review the changes you made to CONFIG.SYS and
correct the error.
Cannot detect mapping hardware.
This message indicates a possible hardware problem or conflict with another adapter.
Review the steps you took to install the SIMMs on the KTM-609/16 board, and the
steps you took to install the memory board in the computer. Make sure the SIMMs are
installed in the correct sequence on the memory board, and that all the SIMMs on the
memory board are seated firmly in their sockets. If the error persists, try changing the
I/O Address of the offending adapter. The KTM-609/16 uses an I/O address of 0208h.
®
Other adapters like the IRMAboard use an address range of 0200h-0220h. Change
the IRMAboard I/O address to avoid conflicts.
