Troubleshooting
KPCI-3160 User’s Manual
NOTE
If you removed more than one board in step 1, install only one good
board in one expansion slot.
Do not connect any external circuits to the board at this point.
3. Again determine the PCI resources detected by your computer, after the KPCI-3160 board is
installed. Windows 95/98 Plug and Play should find and configure the new board as a PCI
resource if all of the following are true:
•
The board functions properly as a PCI device.
•
The contacts of the expansion slot in which the OK board is installed are in good
condition.
•
The OK board is seated properly in the expansion slot.
Do the following, as you did in step 1:
a. Insert an unbootable diskette.
b. Turn ON the computer and allow the boot cycle to stall at the
Non-system disk or disk
error…
message.
c. Again, note the displayed list of PCI devices. A new device should be listed, likely as an
unidentified peripheral. If your resource listing includes PCI slot numbers, the slot num-
ber for the new device should match the number of the slot in which your board is
installed.
d. Remove the diskette and allow the boot cycle to finish.
I/O bit tests
CAUTION
The tests outlined in this subsection involve handling of the
KPCI-3160 circuit board. Handle the board at the mounting bracket,
using a grounded wrist strap. Do not touch the circuit traces or con-
nector contacts. If you do not have a grounded wrist strap, periodi-
cally discharge static electricity by placing one hand firmly on a
grounded metal portion of the computer chassis.
Ensure that the computer is turned OFF before installing or remov-
ing a board. Installing or removing a board while power is ON can
damage your computer, the board, or both.
Always reinstall the cover before turning the computer ON.
The I/O bit tests check whether the input and output functions of the board are operating prop-
erly. They also act as backup tests for a defective slot connector. Of the two tests outlined below,
only the I/O loop-back test is conclusive and is therefore strongly preferred.
These tests are intended to be used when requested in the “
General problem isolation proce-
dure
.” However, they may also be used for general performance checks.
