CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION AND CHECKOUT
2.1 Installing the Hardware
When you have unpacked your KIM-4, locate the hardware packet and attach
the four rubber feet as shown in Figure 1. Then install the twelve card guides
with the screws supplied. See Figure 2 for correct placement. If you have one
or more KIM expansion modules, put them in each card slot to assure correct
placement of the guides. Three threaded spacers are provided to elevate your
KIM-1. Attach them as shown in Figure 3.
2.2 Attaching KIM-4 to KIM-1 Using Your Old Power Supply
Remove any expansion cards you have placed in KIM-4 and disconnect the
female connector attached to the application connector on your KIM-1. (You will
also have to disconnect any connector you have mated to the KIM-1 expansion
connector.) Carefully slide the KIM application and expansion connector
tabs into the two mating female receptacles on the KIM-4 motherboard. (See
Figure 4) Remove any connections you have made to the female application
connector pins, B, C, D, E, F, H, or J. Remove the jumper connected to pin K.
Now attach your old KIM-1 female application connector to the KIM-4 application
connector tab as shown in Figure 4. If you have not previously wired a connector
for your KIM-1, refer to your KIM-1 User Manual, Chapter 2, for details.
For initial checkout of the KIM-4 you can use the power supply you previously
connected to KIM-1. The +5v and +12v pins on the KIM-4 application connector are
routed directly to the KIM-1, bypassing the regulators on the KIM-4; these voltages
are not distributed on the motherboard expansion module connectors. Thus your old
+5v and +12v power supply cannot be used to power expansion modules inserted in
the motherboard. Turn your old power supply on, depress the reset button on the
KIM-1 keyboard, and verify that your KIM still operates normally. If you wish,
load a program from your cassette tape interface and verify that it operates
correctly.
