6.2.4 SSD Drive Number (SW1-4 & SW1-5)
The AR-B1462 SSD can simulate one or two disk drives. You can assign the drive letter of the AR-B1462 by
configuring SW1-4 & SW1-5.
You can make the computer to boot from SSD by copying DOS into the SSD. If your SSD does not have DOS, the
computer will boot from your hard disk or floppy disk. In this condition, the SSD BIOS of AR-B1462 will set the
drive letter of the SSD to the desired drive letter automatically.
The AR-B1462 would simulate a single disk drive when only (FLASH) EPROM or SRAM (starting from MEM1
socket) is installed. The drive numbers with respect to the switch setting when the AR-B1462 simulates single disk
drives.

NOTE: 1. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will 1 (B:). If any DOS is found by the AR-B1462 SSD
BIOS, the disk number will be 0 (A:) But, you can change the disk number from 0 to 1 by pressing the
<ESC> key during system bootup.
2. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 2 (C: or D: or…). If any DOS is found by the AR-
B1462 SSD BIOS, the disk number will be 0 (A:). But, you can change the disk number from 0 to 2 by
pressing the <ESC> key during system bootup.

(2) Simulate 2 Disk Drive

When (FLASH) EPROM and SRAM are both used on the AR-B1462, or you only have installed SRAM that does
not start from MEM1 socket, the AR-B1462 will simulate two disk drives. The drive numbers respect to those
switch settings when AR-B1462 simulates two disk drives.

NOTE: 1. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 1 (B:). If any DOS is found by the AR-B1462
SSD BIOS, the disk letter will be 0 (A:). But, you can change the disk number from 0 to 1 by pressing
the <ESC> key during system bootup.
2. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 2 (C: or D: or….). If any DOS is found by the
AR-B1462 SSD BIOS, the disk number will be 0 (A:). But, you can change the disk number from 0 to 2
by pressing the <ESC> key during system bootup.
