6.1OVERVIEW

The AR-B1375 and AR-B1376 provides three 32-pin JEDEC DIP sockets, which may be populated with up to 3MB of EPROM or 1.5MB of FLASH or 1.5MB of SRAM disk. It is ideal for diskless systems, high reliability and/or high speed access applications, controller for industrial or line test instruments, and etc.

If small page (less or equal 512 bytes per page) 5V FLASHs were used, you could format FLASH disk and copy files onto FLASH disk just like using a normal floppy disk. You can use all of the related DOS command (such as COPY, DEL…etc.) to update files on the 5V FLASH disk.

The write protect function allows you to prevent your data on small page 5V FLASH or SRAM disk from accidental deletion or overwrite.

An on-board Lithium battery or an external battery pack that could be connected ensures data retention of SRAM to the AR-B1375 and AR-B1376.

6.2 SWITCH SETTING

We will show the locations of the AR-B1375 and AR-B1376 switch, and the factory-default setting.

CAUTION: The switch setting needs to adjust with the jumpers setting, make sure the jumper settings and the switch setting are correct.
