BIOS Extension Devices
You can use BIOS Extension Devices like M-Systems DiskOnChip and MCSI PromDisk to imple-
ment a Solid State Disk which can be read and written using normal disk commands.
Advantages of using these devices include:
•
Storage capacity up to 288 MB per socket (more in the future)
•
Full read/write capability using standard OS file commands
•
Integrated support for the QNX operating system is possible
(contact M-Systems for information)
Disadvantages of using them include:
•
Relatively high cost
•
Current vendor software may allow only one device per cpuModule
Parts supported by the cpuModule include:
•
M-Systems 2000 series: MD2200-D1024 (1 GB)
down to...
•
M-Systems 2000 series: MD2200-D16 (16MB)
•
Optional QNX versions of the above parts
•
MCSI PromDisk: 72306 (32MB)
down to...
•
MCSI PromDisk: 72300 (4MB)

Installing BIOS Extension Devices
To install these devices, follow this procedure:
• Apply power to the cpuModule and run Setup.
• If you are using both a BIOS Extension Device and a Conventional SSD, set Solid
State Disk to Enabled in the Standard Setup screen.
• If you are using the BIOS Extension Device in socket U1 you can’t use a SSD Device
other than a BIOS Extension device in socket U2.
• If you are using the BIOS Extension Device in socket U2, set SSD Device in U1 to
an appropriate memory window.
NOTE!
If you are using both a BIOS extension device and Conventional SSD
in a cpuModule, the Conventional SSD must be placed in the first SSD
socket.
NOTE!
The memory window selected for a BIOS extension device must not be
used by any other program or hardware device. Make sure this window
is not used by EMM386 or another memory manager, SSD, Ethernet
card, PCMCIA card, etc.
If either SSD Device is:
SSD Window cannot be:
BIOS EXT @D000
D000
BIOS EXT @D800
D800
BIOS EXT @E000
E000
BIOS EXT @E800
E800
