Flash Disk
The Aviant BX Socket 370 includes one 32-pin DIP socket for installing Flash disk
from 2MB to 144MB, such as those from M-systems. This operation structure
operates with pure ISA bus without the Plug-n-Play (PnP) function. Before
installing it, make certain that the I/O address jumper setting is set to the correct
position to prevent an I/O resource conflict. Remember to follow the Disk-On-Chip
(DOC) installation procedure to prevent the Flash chip from burning out due to
incorrect installation.
Installing DOC
Align the DOC with the pin holes on the socket. Make sure that the notched corner
or dot mark (pin 1) of the DOC corresponds to the notched corner of the socket.
Then press the DOC gently until it fits into place. When correctly installed, the
Flash disk can be viewed as a normal hard disk to access read/write data.
If you want to boot from the Flash disk, refer to the application note from
M-systems. You can easily obtain information from M-system’s shipping package
(such as the product manual) or their Web site: (
www.m-sys.com)
.
CAUTION
Make sure your DOC is properly inserted. Placing the
DOC in reverse will damage it severely.
