AT MOTHERBOARD MEMORY CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. An Advantage! installed in a 256K AT must be configured for
|
|
Split Memory Addressing as shown in Figure 3-4 in the User's
|
|
Manual. In a 512K AT, either Split Memory Addressing or
|
|
Contiguous Memory Addressing may be used on the Advantage!.
|
|
|
|
2. The AT system board may be configured with either 256K or
|
|
512K of memory. The position of a shorting plug on the
|
|
system board (J18) determines the proper configuration.
|
|
(J18 is located underneath the disk controller board near
|
|
the front of the AT chassis.)
|
|
|
|
Apparently some 256K ATs are shipped from IBM with the
|
|
jumper in the 512K position. This does not cause any
|
|
problems until an Advantage! is installed and configured for
|
|
the Split Memory Addressing mode. An addressing conflict
|
|
results: The "phantom" upper 256K on the system board
|
|
conflicts with the memory on the Advantage! and results in
|
|
errors during POST (typically 040002....210).
