3.6System Memory

The HS-2601A provides one SO-DIMM socket at location U2. This onboard memory socket can support 64MB, 128MB and 256MB SO-DIMM modules. The system’s maximum memory capacity is 256MB.

NOTE: SO-DIMM sockets out on the market these days have very fragile contacts that attach to modules. We highly recommend you not to regularly remove the installed SO-DIMM from its socket. Doing so may wear out the contact between the socket and module.

3.7DiskOnChipAddress Setting

The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules may be formatted as drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and DISKCOMP etc.

The U7 location onboard the HS-2601A is the DiskOnChipmodule socket. The board circuitry assigns a LOCKED starting memory address of the installed module at D000. If you have another memory device that has a similar memory capacity with that of the DOC in your system, please set both at different memory address mapping to avoid the mapping area conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2601A and the additional memory device function properly.

3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChipModules

When installing a DiskOnChipmodule onto your board, please take note of the following:

1.Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChipsocket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the solder side of your board.

2.Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChipmodule. More often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower right corner of the chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.
