l Utility Diskette
l Write Protect Function
l Watchdog Timer

2.1 OVERVIEW

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.
