Normally the life span of an external battery is 2 years. If yours is
running low, you will need to replace it with a new 3V lithium battery
(Sony CR2032).
Flash EEPROM
The Tigercub uses flash memory to store BIOS programs. It can be
updated as new versions of the BIOS become available. You can
upgrade your BIOS easily using the Flash Writer Utility (see page 67).
Hardware CMOS & Password Reset
If you have been locked out of your system because you forgot your
password or set the CMOS incorrectly, follow the instructions below.
1. Power off the system
2. Set jumper JP15 to pins 2 and 3 (see previous page for
location of JP15).
3. Wait for 2 seconds, then return jumper JP15 to pins 1 and 2.
4. Power on the system again.
By following this procedure, you will erase your password and reset the
CMOS to the BIOS defaults.
RAM Installation
The Tigercub uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can
accommodate up to 512MB of EDO or SDRAM. The 168-pin DIMMs
must be of the 3.3V, unbuffered variety. The position of the notch in
the DRAM key position will tell you whether or not a DIMM is unbuf-
fered (see the figure below). All installed memory will be automatically
detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.
