2. INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the procedure of the utility diskette installation. The following topics are covered:

•Overview

•Utility Diskette

•Write Protect Function

•Watchdog Timer

2.1OVERVIEW

This chapter provides information for you to set up a working system based on the AR-B7041 card. Please read the details of the card’ s hardware descriptions before installation carefully, especially jumpers’ setting, switch settings and cable connections.

When you install the card please notice the following item:

1.Make sure the base I/O address does not conflict with other I/O cards.

2.Make sure the memory address not conflict with other memory cards.

3.Make sure the jumper settings for the memory are all installed properly.

4.Don’ t use the invalid shadow RAM address.

5.Prevent to use the same range of memory address as the AR-B7041 used, if you have install EMS driver.

6.If you are using the MS-DOS 6.2 to format SRAM or 5V FLASH EPROM disk, you might get some bad sectors in your ROM/RAM disk. This will reduce the capacity of your FLASH/SRAM disk. To solve this problem, please type:

C:\>FORMAT [drive number] /U/C or

C:\>FORMAT [drive number] /U/C/S

2.2 UTILITY DISKETTE – SSD UTILITY

To support the AR-B7041 solid state disk’ s operations, the following files have been provided on the enclosed diskette.

(A) PGM7041.EXE

PGM7041.EXE PGM7041.EXE is used to program the 12V FLASH EPROM after the ROM pattern files are generated by RFG.EXE The PGM7041.EXE can also program the correctness of the ROM pattern files onto 5V FLASH EPROM (start from MEM1) or SRAM for testing the ROM pattern files.

To execute PGM7041.EXE, the main menu will be displayed on your screen. There are 8 options on the main menu.

Quit to DOS

Quits and exits to the DOS.

OS Shell

Exits from PGM7041 temporarily to the DOS prompt. Type EXIT to return to PGM7041 main menu.

Load ROM File

If this option is used, the PGM7041 will prompt you for the ROM pattern file name. This option is useful if you have not previously entered a ROM pattern file name or if you wish to use a different ROM pattern file. The PGM7041 will check and display the ROM file name, ROM file size, (FLASH) memory capacity and the number of ROM pattern files that will be loaded and copied onto the (FLASH) memory chips.
