HIMEM.SYS fails Memory Test on LS Pro
This problem will only exhibit itself if the memory has been upgraded to
6 or 8MB. When booting the machine it will report an error that HIMEM.SYS has detected
unreliable XMS memory.
This error should only occur on machines that have a Motherboard Part
Number 15311131 Rev 01 and the BIOS revision is 2.02 or less.
The problem can be fixed by upgrading the ROM BIOS to 2-03. New systems
will have this new BIOS and the motherboard will be Rev 02.
Listed below are the release notes for 2-03 BIOS :-

10/5/94 |
RIPL problems were being encountered when several machines were on a
network. This has now been resolved. Memory errors were being experienced with certain
brands of SIMM. This was caused by excessive drive current and has now been resolved. |
If you encounter the above problem then please contact Hardware Support
to arrange a BIOS upgrade to 2-03 which will be a Free of Charge exchange. |
