- INTEL 8086 The 8086 microprocessor was introduced in 1978,
- and has a 16-bit data bus structure. The 8086
- was found to be faster than the 8088 in communi-
- cation speed with the other computer components,
- but lost out in popularity to the 8088 due to the
- high cost of 16-bit support chips and peripherals.
-
- INTEL 8088 Also introduced in 1978, the 8088 microprocessor
- has an 8-bit external data bus and an 16-bit in-
- ternal data bus. The original 8088 operated at
- 4.77 MHz, and has since been expanded to up to
- 10 MHz. The 10 MHz speed in "XTs" use chips known
- as turbo chips.
-
- INTEL 80286 The 80286 microprocessor was introduced in 1984, and
- included a 16-bit data structure and the ability
- to address up to 16 MB of RAM. The 80286 machines
- run in two distinct modes. Under "Real Mode", the
- 80286 runs DOS programs at an 8086 pace, and only
- uses 1MB of RAM. In "Protected Mode", the 80286
- uses up to 16MB of RAM.
-
- INTEL 80386 The 80386 microprocessor was introduced in 1986, and
- included a 32-bit data bus structure and the ability
- to address up to 4GB of memory. The 80386 allows
- memory to be broken up into blocks, allowing appli-
- cations to be run simultaneously.
- INTEL
- 80386SX The 80386SX microprocessor was introduced in 1988,
- and shared the same electronic characteristics as
- the 80386, except that the SX included a 16-bit
- data structure. It therefore could use the add-on
- chips designed for the 80286, which are much less
- expensive.
-
- INTEL 80486 The 80486 microprocessor was introduced in 1989, and
- included a 32-bit data bus structure, and the ability
- to address up to 64GB of memory.

- # Memory Conserving Tips
- ┌────────────────────────┐
- │ Memory Conserving Tips │
- └────────────────────────┘
-
- * Using a low version of DOS, such as 3.3.
-
- * When using DOS V.5.0, loading DOS=HIGH,UMB in your CONFIG.SYS
- file, and then loading some TSR programs in upper memory
- blocks.
-
- * When editing the CONFIG.SYS file, use entries that minimize
- the amount of RAM used by DOS. In many cases where networks
- are used, commands such as BUFFERS=, LASTDRIVE= and DEVICE=
- ANSI.SYS can be avoided or removed.
-
- * Use of memory managers that utilize normally empty RAM areas
- that exist between the addresses of 640K to 960K. This area
- is often referred to as HIGH RAM. TSR programs, such as
- E-Mail, pop-up calculators, and NetWare IPX and NETX fit
- into this HIGH RAM area.

- ┌─────────────────────┐
- │ Hexidecimal Numbers │
- └─────────────────────┘
- Hexidecimal numbers use a base of sixteen, unlike the
- metric system base of ten. The number system is as
- follows:
-
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F
-
- When counting in the Hexidecimal system, you will not
- "carry over" to the next place until you pass the F.
- Hexidecimal numbers are used as a simple way to express
- binary numbers (0s and 1s). Replacing binary with
- hexidecimal numbers is convenient because binary numbers
- use a base of two, and grow in length very quickly.
-
- With each four-digit set of binary numbers, there are
- sixteen combinations possible of 0s and 1s. Therefore,
- Hexidecimal numbers can be used to provide a clean way
- to represent four-digit clumps of binary numbers.

-
-
- The steps below dESCribe the installation of a new card, such as
- an internal modem or video adapter.
-
-
- 1. Turn your PC and Monitor off.
-
- 2. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the PC.
-
- 3. Unscrew the (usually) 5 screws on the back of the PC and
- remove the cover.
-
- 4. Locate an empty slot on the motherboard. Remove the
- bracket covering the slot. You will use the screw to fasten
- the new card.
-
- 5. Refer to any documentation that came with the card for
- jumper/dip switch settings that need to be set before in-
- stallation.
-
- You can use CheckIt PRO: SysInfo to view the IRQ and I/O
- ports available.
-
- 6. After setting the appropriate configuration for the card,
- you are ready to install the card. Push the board into the
- open expansion slot. Make sure the board is seated
- correctly by pressing down on both ends. The board should
- sit level in the expansion slot.
-
- In machines where you have both 8 and 16-bit expansion
- slots, you can add an 8-bit card to either slot. 16-bit
- cards can only be added to 16-bit slots. Micro channel and
- EISA bus machines have 32-bit slots, and their configuration
- is software driven, as opposed to dip switches or jumpers.
-
- 7. Replace the screw you took from the bracket to secure the
- card.
-
- 8. Carefully replace the cover on the machine, and replace the
- mounting screws. Finally, re-connect the power supply.
-
- 9. If the card is not functional after installation, run
- CheckIt PRO: SysInfo again, and verify that the IRQ and I/O
- settings are correct.

- [INSTAL_CLOCK]
- ┌───────────────────────────────┐
- │ Install a Clock in a PC or XT │
- └───────────────────────────────┘
-
- If you own a PC or and XT, you may not have a clock. When you
- boot up your machine, you will be asked for the time and date.
- CheckIt: SysInfo will tell you whether your system has a clock
- in the System Information field. There are two schools of
- thought in adding a clock to your machine.
-
- 1. Add a multifunction board to your machine. These boards
- will not only have a clock, but also another device such
- as a parallel port or memory. See the section on adding
- a new card for more help.
-
- 2. Add a "no-slot" clock. These can be installed to 28-pin
- ROM sockets. Most motherboards have an empty ROM socket
- adjacent to the BIOS chip. If there isn't an available
- socket, you can remove the BIOS chip, plug in the clock
- chip, and then plug the BIOS chip into the built-in socket
- of the clock.
- #
- [INSTAL_FLOP]
- ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Install a Floppy Drive in your PC │
- └───────────────────────────────────┘
-
- 1. Turn off your PC and monitor.
-
- 2. Remove the power supply cord from the back of the PC.
-
- 3. Prepare the machine for the new floppy by removing the
- drive port cover. If you have a 3 1/2 inch drive,
- there will most likely be an expansion bracket included
- with the drive to mount the drive.
-
- 4. Refer to the documentation that came with the drive for
- any jumper settings that need to be assigned for the
- drive. You can use Check√It: Vol I, SysInfo to determine
- what IRQs are available.
-
- 5. Connect the power and data cables. Check to see if pin 1
- is connected to the marked end of the ribbon cable. The
- power cable should have guides so that it only will go in
- one way.
-
- 6. Mount the drive to the chassis.
-
- 7. Replace the cover and screws. Try the System Information
- in Check√It: Vol I, SysInfo to make sure the floppy drive has
- been installed correctly.

- │ Installing a Coprocessor in your PC │
- └─────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- If you are using applications that do a great deal of math
- calculation such as spreadsheets, then you might find the
- addition of a coprocessor helpful. Coprocessors can make
- the operation of math calculation between 5 and 100 times
- faster.
-
- Installation steps:
-
- 1. Turn off your PC and Monitor.
-
- 2. Remove the power supply cord from the back of the PC.
-
- 3. Locate the socket for the coprocessor. It will most
- likely be next to the CPU. A 387 coprocessor for
- 80386 machines is square, with 128 pins. Coprocessors
- for 8088, and 80286 machines are rectangular, and have
- 40 pins.
-
- 4. Insert the coprocessor in the socket. There will be an
- indent in the end of the 8087 and 80287 chips. Match
- this mark with the one on the motherboard. The 80387
- chip is square, and will fit only one way into the
- socket.
-
- 5. Put the cover back on the machine and replace the screws.
- You can run CheckIt: SysInfo to ensure that your PC is
- finding the coprocessor.

-
- MDA Monochrome Display Adapter.
- This video card can display only text characters and only
- in one color. This standard supports only monochrome
- mode 7 (720x350 pixel resolution).
-
- HGA Hercules Graphics Adapter.
- This is an extension of the MDA standard. It adds
- monochrome graphics resolution (720x348) capability to a
- board that fully supports the MDA standard. Because of
- its popularity, it has become a de-facto standard for
- monochrome graphics.
-
- CGA Color Graphics Adapter.
- This video card can display text in any of 16 colors, and
- graphics in any of 4 colors. This standard supports
- video modes 4 and 5 (320x200 4-color graphics) and mode 6
- (640x200 2-color graphics).
-
- EGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter.
- This video card can display text and graphics in any 16
- colors from a palette of 64. It also supports a higher
- resolution than CGA video cards. In addition, it has the
- unique ability to support either MDA, CGA, or EGA
- monitors.
-
- MCGA Multi-Color Graphics Array.
- This video card is a cross between a CGA and a VGA.
- Specifically, it supports all CGA modes and can display
- graphics in up to 256 simultaneous colors. This type of
- adapter is built-in on all IBM PS/2 Model 25 and Model 30
- computers, but it has gained little popularity elsewhere
- in favor of VGA.
-
- VGA Video Graphics Array.
- This video card can display text and graphics in any of
- 256 colors from a palette of 262,144. It also supports a
- higher resolution than CGA, EGA, or MCGA video cards.
- This type of adapter is built-in on all mid- to
- high-range IBM PS/2 Model computers, and most
- compatibles. It is now the leading standard.
-
- SVGA Super VGA.
- These cards are VGA-compatible but offer vendor-specific
- enhancements, such as higher resolution and enhanced text
- modes.
-
- VESA This is an emerging video interface standard that
- provides a generic way to go beyond VGA. It provides an
- interface layer on top of another video card already
- installed. The other card must be at least VGA. Most
- SVGA cards have drivers for VESA.

- │ Installation of a Hard Drive │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
- Below are the steps to follow when installing a hard drive
- to your system:
-
- 1. Turn off your PC and Monitor.
-
- 2. Remove the power cord from the back of the PC.
-
- 3. Remove the (usually) 5 screws from the back of the PC
- and slide off the cover.
-
- 4. Check the instructions that were shipped with the hard
- drive and set any jumpers necessary.
-
- 5. Mount the drive into the drive bay in the PCs case.
-
- 6. Next, check the controller board instructions for any
- switches or jumpers that may need to be set.
-
- 7. Insert the controller board into an empty slot on the
- motherboard. It is best to choose a slot near the drive
- itself, so that the cables are not draped over several
- cards.
-
- 8. Attach the cables to the drives. There will be two flat
- ribbon cables, one with 34 wires, and one with 20. One
- end of the cable will have a different colored wire for
- pin one. It is possible to connect the ribbon in back-
- wards. To avoid this, look at the disk drive connectors
- for a space or line between pin 2 and 3. The ribbon side
- with the different color for pin 1 goes on this side.
-
- 9. If your controller handles both hard and floppy drives,
- there will be a 34 wire cable from the floppy drives,
- and one from the hard disk. The controller instructions
- will direct you as to which ribbon cable goes where. Check
- the board for an indication of which pin is pin one. Plug
- the cable in with the colored end going into pin one.
-
- 10. Next, plug in the sets of 20 wire cables. The row closest
- to the hard disk 34 wire cable is for hard disk one. When
- installing a second drive, the 20 wire cable will plug into
- the second set of pins.
-
- 11. Attach the power cables from the hard drive to the PC's
- power supply. The cables can only be plugged in one way.
-
- 12. You are now ready to replace the cover and screws to the
- PC's case.
-
- 13. If you are running a 80286, 386, or 486, you will need to
- edit your CMOS table regarding the type of your new hard
- drive. When you boot up the machine, you will see a key
- combination to enter the CMOS table edit area. The in-
- structions that came with the drive will tell you which
- hard drive type to enter.
-
-
- You can use CheckIt PRO: SysInfo to edit the CMOS table and
- view a drive list for future use. For information on
- FORMATTING a hard drive, please see LOW LEVEL FORMATTING A

-
- 1. If you have just installed a new hard drive, check to see
- if it was low level formatted at the factory. To check
- this, type FDISK at the DOS command line. If your PC re-
- jects this command then you must do a low level format.
-
- The low level format can also be done on a drive that has
- been in use, but has data related problems, or viruses.
- Be careful though, most low level format programs will
- create a loss of all data stored on a disk.
-
- 2. If your hard drive needs to be low level formatted, you
- can use the software that came with the drive or the
- CheckIt PRO: Tests and Tools low level formatter.
-
- BE SURE THAT THERE IS NO DATA ON A DRIVE THAT YOUR ARE RUNNING

- [PROTECMODE]
- ┌────────────────┐
- │ Protected Mode │
- └────────────────┘
-
- If your PC has an 80286, 80386, or 80486 processor, CheckIt PRO
- will test your processor's ability to function in protected mode.
- Under DOS, your CPU is operating under 8086 emulation. This mode
- is called "Real Mode." When your PC is accessing DOS extended
- memory or running OS/2 or Xenix, your CPU is running under its
- native mode called "Protected Mode." So a failure at this stage
- of the test only indicates a problem under this mode of operation;
- your PC may work fine under normal DOS operation. Ultimately, it
- could mean that your PC will not function correctly if you add ex-
- tended memory or when you run an advanced operating system like
- OS/2 or Xenix.
-
- The memory test sends an 80286 or 80386 processor into protected
- mode and back into real mode. In protected mode, the processor
- can access memory above the 1MB address range. While the processor
- is in protected mode, interrupts are ignored.
- #
- [SHADOW]
- #
- Because ROM (Read Only Memory) is much slower than RAM (Random
- Access Memory), a way of copying the essential ROM contents to
- RAM at startup has been devised. This copying from ROM to RAM,
- called shadowing, can double the speed of actions usually taken
- by ROM.
-
- One negative side to shadowing is that it takes away extended
- memory space. Some BIOS manufacturers automatically subtract
- the amount of available extended memory used by shadowing.
-
- To enable shadowing of ROM, run the setup program offered during
- your system's boot-up. This can be done by pressing the key-
- combination recommended during boot-up.
