How to Update KEPLER


What is KEPLER?

KEPLER stands for Kingston’s Electronic Product Library and Easy Reference  (and, incidentally, is named after the 16th-century German astronomer Johannes Kepler.

KEPLER is a complete, comprehensive convenient and easy-to-use program that helps you figure out what the original configuration of your system was, identify the Kingston upgrade you need, and determine how to upgrade your system.  KEPLER provides you with all the information contained in Kingston’s well-known Upgrade Manual.

Kingston hopes that KEPLER will serve you not only as an on-screen product catalogue, but as a general reference to assist you with all your upgrading needs.

As the Inside Name in Upgrading, Kingston strives to keep you informed and up to date and with various issues related to improving the compatibility, performance, reliability and connectivity of your personal computer, workstation and/or printer.

Kingston Technology’s expansive product line includes Networking Adapters and Concentrators, Portable PC products, Processor Upgrades, a complete line of Storage Upgrades ( disk controllers, drives, removable and portable external media enclosures and more), Fax/Modem accessories, Video Upgrades, MicroChannel products and of course, the largest lineup of Memory Products in the industry.

The sheer number of products offered by Kingston makes KEPLER a very important part of your desktop.  With easy quick and easy access to information on Kingston’s product line, extending your system’s lifetime and capabilities could never be so simple.


Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)

After many years of analyzing an  enormous amount of empirical data, the German astronomer Johannes Kepler formulated three laws that describe the motion of planets about the sun.  These laws may be stated as follows:

•	First Law

The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.

•	Second Law

The vector from the sun to a moving planet sweeps out area at a constant rate.

•	Third Law

If the time required for a planet to travel once around its elliptical orbit is T, and if the major axis of the ellipse is 2a, then T2 = ka3 for some constant k.

50 years later, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) proved that Kepler’s Laws were consequences of his famous Law of Universal Gravitation and Second Law of Motion.

The achievements of both men were monumental, because these laws clarified all astronomical observations that had been made up to that time.


About Kingston

About Us...

Kingston Technology Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of memory, processor, networking and storage upgrade products for personal computers, workstations and laser printers.  Kingston was founded in 1987 by John Tu and David Sun, and has grown from being the manufacturer of a single memory module into an international company with over 1,900 products and greater than $1 billion dollars in 1995.

According to a recent  Gallop Poll, Kingston was recognized as the leading independent third party manufacturer of memory products to the Fortune 1000 and Dun and Bradstreet businesses.  The Washington Post refers to Kingston as the “Return of the California Dream,” and PC Week, Inside likens Kingston’s management style to that of a family business to the tune of “It‘s a Wonderful Life.”  Kingston has been featured in leading business journals and periodicals including Fortune, Inc. Magazine, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, and the ElectronikPraxis.  Ranked by Inc. Magazine in 1992 as the fastest growing privately held company in America, Kingston is now the world’s largest manufacturer of upgrade products for PCs, laser printers, laptops and notebooks.

History

In 1987, the industry was faced with a supply shortage of memory modules for personal computers.  This shortage could have severely hampered computer manufacturer’s and users’ ability to get the memory necessary to upgrade their systems.  John Tu and David Sun were convinced that a solution to the shortage could be found.

Memory

Their answer was to design an industry standard Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM) using an alternative chip that was more readily available.  Kingston soon began developing non-standard memory products for a variety of PCs, including those from IBM and Compaq, that employed proprietary memory module designs.

By 1989, the marketplace began to change.  As chips became readily available, memory upgrade products grew plentiful.  At this point, Kingston’s policy of individual testing and the resulting quality assurance allowed the company to differentiate itself from its growing number of competitors.  Kingston also offered customers “Just-in-time” inventory, allowing customers to stock only what they needed.  By continuing to offer its customers reliable and cost-effective memory upgrade solutions, as well as a flexible stocking policy, Kingston solidified its leadership position in the marketplace.

Storage

Soon after the introduction of Kingston’s first memory product, the company began shipping storage subsystems, a line of products that has grown to include Data Express removable disks systems and Data Silo, a family of SCSI interface storage subsystems.  The Kingston storage products group continues to grow in terms of product offerings, including storage subsystems with disk tapes, optical drives, and RAID.  In addition, revenues and share of market have consistently grown each year.

Processor Upgrades

In the fall of 1990, Kingston branched out into its second non-memory product line, processor upgrades.  Although this represented a change in its marketing strategy, processor upgrades were the next logical step in providing users with a total solution to their upgrade needs.  As of 1994, Kingston has developed nine separate processor upgrade products, and in 1995, plans to launch two new products into the market.

Networking

In the first quarter of 1993, Kingston introduced a new networking product line.  Kingston presently provides networking solutions for both Ethernet and Token-Ring environments.  Kingston’s Networking Group has introduced over 25 new products in the last two years.  Kingston plans on at least five new networking products in the spring and summer of 1995, including a line of low-cost Ethernet hubs and adapter cards.  In the first quarter of 1995, Kingston announced that the networking unit would be recognized as a separate business unit employing a matrix management style to expand new business.

PC Storage

In the spring of 1994, Kingston introduced the Data Traveler, a portable hard disk drive, and followed with the DataPak 170 in the summer of 1994.  DataPak 170 and the newly introduced DataPak 260 are portable PC Card hard disk drives that allow portable computing users to enjoy the many advantages of PC Card technology.

To meet the challenges in today’s high performance computing environment, Kingston Technology is continuing its commitment to meet its customer’s needs by providing the most reliable, cost-effective solutions to their computing needs.

As hardware requirements growing to meet the demands of even more sophisticated computing, Kingston will remain committed to providing reliable, high-performance and cost-effective hardware products.

Distribution

Kingston’s early unconventional approach to distributing its products was born of necessity.  Kingston was a new company with a new type of product.  Up until Kingston began distributing their memory products in 1987, OEMs historically were the computer industry’s main source for memory.  Understanding that it would take time for traditional PC distributors to embrace the new product concept, Kingston established an alternative channel.

Prior to 1987, John Tu and David Sun owned Camintonn Corporation, a manufacturer of upgrade products for DEC systems.  While at Camintonn, they had worked with a network of specialty distributors  in the workstation and minicomputer upgrade markets.  Mr. Tu and Mr. Sun persuaded these distributors to enter the PC upgrade market with Kingston products.

As Kingston’s reputation for reliable products grew, so did its reputation among distributors and resellers.  As Kingston’s product line grew, its distribution channels also expanded to ultimately include both traditional and non-traditional channels.

Today, Kingston’s domestic channels include distributors such as Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Gates/Arrow, Merisel, major reseller chains such as CompuCom Systems, Vanstar, Entex, EDS Technical Products, Inacom, and MicroAge, and the new direct mail order channel through catalogs as those produced by PCs Compleat and Insight.

An International Focus

Kingston also serves an international network of distributors in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North and South America.  This worldwide channel currently represents over 3,000 reseller locations worldwide.  To provide technical support and marketing in the same time zones as many of our Japanese, Australian and European distributors and customers, Kingston has opened office in Japan, Australia and the latest overseas effort, a branch office in Munich, Germany which opened in January 1995.  Kingston has strategically focused on a worldwide market to expand its overall market share.

ISO 9001 Certified

With ISO 9001 (International Organization for Standardization) emerging as the worldwide standard for product and process quality, Kingston achieved certification in September, 1994.  ISO 9001 is a worldwide recognized quality system and those certified include companies such as IBM, Compaq, Digital Equipment, Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba.

Kingston Memory Upgrades

What’s your favorite memory?  If you answered Kingston, you’re in very good company.

You see, we’ve become the most popular memory in the world by maintaining an uncompromised dedication to reliability.  That means bench testing each and every product in the system for which it was designed with diagnostics developed by the system’s original manufacterer.  When it comes to compatibility, we leave absolutely nothing to chance.  We suspect that’s why,  - in a recent Galup poll -  Kingston was reported as the largest independent memory supplier to the Fortune 1000 companies.  They rely on our upgrades every single day  -  and you can too!

With today’s operating systems and application software, acceptable system performance  - and your own productivity  - demands an ever increasing need for additional RAM.  Kingston can help you solve your memory upgrading requirements by first, helping you learn just how your  system can be upgraded, and second, by offering you unparalled quality in the vast array of memory products Kingston manufactures for more printers, desktop and portable personal computers and workstations than anyone in the industry.


RAM, defined
RAM

Random Access Memory.  Varieties include DRAM, VRAM and SRAM.


DRAM, defined
DRAM

Dynamic Random Access Memory.  This is the most common form of memory in today’s computers and printers.


VRAM, defined
VRAM

Video Random Access Memory.

VRAM is a specially designed, “dual-port” form of random access memory, and was originally developed for video display controllers.  Video operations require very rapid transfer of millions of bytes of screen pixel and color information between the controller’s processor, the host system’s processor, and memory.  At the expense of higher cost, VRAM is significantly faster than normal DRAM.


SRAM, defined
SRAM

Static Random Access Memory.

Static RAM is a hardware memory implementation in which physical locations of data are “hard-coded” in the chip.  This allows three to five-fold increases in access speed over the more common DRAM.

One common use of SRAM is in hardware “caching”, in which data awaiting further processing is maintained in a temporary tempory holding area.  Typically, the processing agent is a CPU or other on-board controller chip which is capable of reading and writing data at a rate faster than it can be acquired from DRAM memory.  The cache medium does not require extensive internal logic, and therefore fast SRAM suits the task.


Standard Memory, defined
Standard Memory

The factory-installed RAM in a computer or printer.

This term is used interchangeably with Base Memory.


Base Memory, defined
Base Memory

The factory-installed RAM in a computer or printer.

This term is used interchangeably with Base Memory.


CPU, defined
CPU

Central Processing Unit.

This is a chip which serves at the highest level of processing and control in a computer.


Memory Upgrade Path

The Memory Upgrade Path lists all or most of the memory upgrading alternatives available for the displayed system.  Each value in the first column of the table table represents a possible memory configuration, and the other two columns list the quantity and Kingston Part Number(s) required to achieve that configuration.

Standard (“base” or factory) memory configurations are represented by the abbreviation ‘STD’ in the second column of the Upgrade Path table.

Note: Many systems are shipped with more than one possible standard memory configuration.  In this case, be sure to establish which standard memory configuration applies to you.

The Bank Schema is intended to supplement the Memory Upgrade Path by providing a visual means (albeit rudimentary) of  understanding what configurations are possible and impossible.


How to Read a Bank Schema

The Bank Schema, a diagram or rows and columns that shows the number of memory sockets in your system, is meant to supplement the  Memory Upgrade Path in describing the method of expanding the system’s memory.   Please keep in mind that this visual display is a theoretical bank layout, and not an actual physical system board layout.

Each  ___  represents a memory socket.  For example,   ___   ___   ___   ___  = four memory sockets.

Each column represents a bank.  The number of  ___  symbols in a column represent the number of memory sockets in a bank.  Upgrading is performed one bank at a time.  For example, if there are four columns with two ___ in each column, upgrading is done two modules at a time.  However, if there is just a row of single ___, upgrading may be performed one module at a time.

Examples:

8 sockets =   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___

In this example, up to eight modules may be installed one at a time in any combination.

8 sockets (4 banks of 2) = 	___   ___   ___   ___

___   ___   ___   ___

This system can accept up to eight modules, but modules must be two at a time.

4 sockets (1 banks of 4) = 	___

___

___

___

The system can accept up to four modules, all installed at once.

The standard memory (base amount your system was shipped with) is shown as either removable or non-removable.

Removable memory comes in the form of modules that fit into memory sockets, and, if desired, can be removed and replaced with modules of higher capacity.  Removable memory is represented by a ‘___’ with a number next to it:

___4  ___	means there is a 4MB module in the first socket, and the second

socket is empty.

Non-removable memory usually comes in the form of memory chips which are soldered directly onto the system board.  It is represented in the bank schema in brackets:

[4MB]

___   ___	means there are 4MB of fixed memory on the board and two memory

sockets available for expansion.


Bank, defined
Bank

A group of sockets, all of which must be either vacant (available) or occupied at any given time for the system to operate correctly.


Memory module, defined
Memory module

A self-contained assembly of electronic components and circuitry, including RAM memory chips.


Memory socket, defined
Memory socket

A receptacle for a single memory module.


PCMCIA, defined
PCMCIA

The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) is an organization of companies developing the personal computer card (PC Card) standards. A PC Card is a small form-factor adapter that has the size and shape of a credit card.

With the profileration of notebook and hand-held computer systems, the search for smaller, lighter, and more portable tools for information processing is generating innovative developments in many aspects of the portable computer market. These innovations include display, memory, power management, and overall computer design and size. PC Cards are a key technology for adding memory, storage, and I/O capabilities to portable systems.

PCMCIA standards define three types of cards. A Type I PC Card (3.3MM thick) may be used for various types of memory enhancements, including RAM, Flash memory,one time programmable (OTP) memory, and electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). A Type II PC Card (5.0mm thick) may be used for memory enhancements and/or for I/O features such as modems, LANs, SCSI interface, sound cards, Global Positioning System (GPS), RS232 interface  and host communications. A Type III PC Card (10.5mm thick) is primarily used for Winchester drives. New applications are added to these cards, making it a very attractive alternative for both portable computer and desktop users.


Socket and Card Services, defined
Socket and Card Services

The Socket and Card Services (SS/CS) are the key elements of the PCMCIA software architecture. Socket Services is a BIOS level software interface that provides a way to access the PCMCIA sockets (slots) of a computer. Socket Services identifies how many sockets are in your computer system and detects the insertion or removal of a PC Card adapter while the system is powered on. Socket Services is part of the PCMCIA 2.1 specification and interfaces with Card Services.

Card Services is a software management interface that allows you to allocate the system resources (such as memory and interrupts) automatically, once Socket Services detects that a PC Card has been added. Card Services also releases these resources when the PC Card has been removed. Furthermore, Card Services provides you with an interface to higher level software to load any needed hardware drivers. The specification for Card Services is currently being finalized.

The combination of PC Card Adapter hardware, and SS/CS provides "Plug-and-Play" and "Hot Swapping" capability in the portable computing environment.

Attachment Unit Interface (AUI), defined
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI)

The connector used with thick Ethernet that often includes a cable ( called a drop cable) running off the main, or backbone, coaxial cable.


Automatic Partitioning/Reconnection, defined
Automatic Partitioning/Reconnection

If any of the ports on the EtheRx Hub experience excessive collisions, duration collisions, or faulty conditions, that particular port can be partitioned. Once partitioned, the Hub will continue to monitor that port. If the error conditions have been corrected, the Hub will automatically reconnect that port to the network.


Backbone, defined
Backbone

Cable on which 2 or more stations or networks may be attached.


BNC Port, defined
BNC

A standardized biconic connector used with thinnet and coaxial cable.


Cascading Star, defined

A cable connecting or cascading between two or connecting 2 stations without a Hub. The transmit and receive pins on these cables are crossed.


Hub, defined
Hub

A multi-connection device in a cascading star-topology network to which the nodes are attached.  Also, a wiring hub or repeater that brings together the connections from multiple network nodes.


Jabber Lock-up Protection, defined
Jabber Lock-up Protection

The EtheRx Hub implements a built-in jabber protection scheme to ensure that the network is not disabled due to transmission of excessively long data packets. This protection scheme will automatically interrupt excessively long transmissions to prevent jabber lock-up.


Link Test, defined
Link Test

The EtheRx Hub implements the link test function as specified in the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard. The Hub will transmit link test pulses to any RJ-45 twisted-pair port. These pulses are sent to confirm that a valid connection exists between each twisted-pair port on the Hub and its attached device.


RG-58, defined
RG-58

A variety of shielded coaxial cable used for "thin" Ethernet transmission (thinnet). Like all Ethernet cable, RG-58 has a 50-ohm characteristic impedance.


RJ-45, defined
RJ-45

A modular eight-wire connector used to terminate twisted-pair telephone cable. It is used for starLAN networks and some telephone systems.


Repeater, defined
Repeater

If any single port senses the start of a valid packet on its receiving line, the EtheRx Hub will re-transmit the received data to all other ports on the network. The re-transmission of  packet complies to the IEEE 802.3 specification in terms of preamble structures, voltage amplitude, and timing characteristics. These timing regeneration prevent cumulative loss of signal, jitters, and distortion caused by the network cabling, enabling the EtheRx Hub to be cascaded to other EtheRx .
