0.7 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions.
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be
more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic
precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with humid climates are much
less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents may result in expensive repairs. The
following measures should generally be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge:
·
·
·
Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded
wrist strap).
When unpacking and handling the board or other system component, place all materials on an antic static
surface.
Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “ golden finger” connectors on the bottom
of every board.

Features
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The AR-B7041 is a solid state disk card that can be used as the system disk or as a replacement for mechanical
disk drives is any IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computer. It is ideal for, but not limited to, the following
applications:
l
l
l
l
l
Diskless PC workstations
High reliability and/or high speed access applications
Heavy duty disk access requirements
PC controller for industrial or line test instruments
Environments hostile to standard floppy disks & drives (Dust, moisture, vibration, etc.)
This card is a byte wide memory card that plugs into any free slot of system. Eight 32-pin JEDEC DIP sockets
may be populated with up to 8MB of EPROM, 4MB of FLASH EPROM/SRAM or combinations of them. The AR-
B7041 also provides one piggyback connector to install AR-B7017 cards (4MB ROM/RAM/FLASH module), for
maximum of 12MB disk space.
Data retention of SRAM is ensured by an on-board Lithium battery or using an external battery pack that may be
connected to the AR-B7041. A write protect function allows you to prevent data on SRAM disk or FLASH disk
from accidental deletion or overwrite.
The AR-B7041 and AR-B7017 supports 5V FLASH EPROMs. This enables you to program FLASH EPROMs on-
board directly. If small page (less or equal to 512 bytes per page) 5V FLASHs are used, you can format FLASH
disk and copy files onto the FLASH disk just like using a normal disk. This feature will extend the life of your
FLASH EPROM chips by only reprogram a small area. You should use all of the related DOS command (such as
COPY, DEL, …etc.) to update files on the 5V FLASH disk.
The AR-B7041 ROM/RAM disk card is extremely easy to install and use. However, it is advised that you read this
manual before you begin to install.

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.
2-1
AR-B7041 User¡¦s Guide
Verify Memory
If ROM pattern files were loaded without error, this option instructs PGM7041 to verify the contents of
(FLASH) memory chips with the current ROM pattern files.
Program Memory
If there are no mistakes in your ROM pattern file, then this menu option will erase (FLASH) memory, write
the current ROM pattern files onto (FLASH) memory and verify data that was just written to (FLASH)
memory, using the ROM pattern files.
Memory Type/Mfr.
Before you program the (FLASH) memory chips, make sure that the FLASH’ s type and manufactory match
the one shown on the main menu. Otherwise, you can use this option to select the proper type and
manufacture and instruct the program to use a right programming algorithm.
Select PGM Chips
Normally the PGM7041 will program all ROM pattern files onto the FLASH memories with the ROM pattern
files just loaded. But you can use this option to select which memory chips that you want to program and
which memory chips need to be skipped. The PGM7041 will only program the selected chips when writing
data to the FLASH memory. This is very useful when some of the memory chip were verified and
programmed previously.
Select FLASH PLSCNTs
If the 12V FLASHs have been programmed several times, please select the <Slowest> FLASH PLSCNT
mode instead of <Standard> mode. In the <Slower> or <Slowest> mode, PGM7041.EXE will retry more
times to program data onto the 12V FLASHs correctly. The default setting is <Slowest> mode.
Move the reverse video bar to the “ Program Memory” option then press ENTER. PGM7041 will write the ROM
pattern files onto the (FLASH) memories. Ensure that data is verified by the PGM7041 correctly.
(B) SWAP41.EXE
SWAP41.EXE
This program demonstrates how to reassigns your AR-B7041 card to the drive unit set by
SW1-5, SW1-6 and SW1-7. This file should be executed in the first line of your
<AUTOEXEC.BAT> file.
(C) AUTOEXEC.BAT
AUTOEXEC.BAT This is a sample batch file to illustrate how to create an <AUTOEXECT.BAT> file, if you are
planning to use the AR-B7041 as a boot drive.
(D) RFG.EXE
RFG.EXE
This program is used to generate ROM pattern files in a binary format. Each ROM pattern file
has the same size as the FLASH or EPROM and can be easily programmed on to the FLASH
with on-board programmer or on to EPROM with any EPROM programmer. If you have
specified a DOS drive in the *.PGF file, RFG will generate bootable ROM pattern files for the
EPROM or FLASH disk. The RFG supports the following DOS: MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS,
and X-DOS.
NOTE: If you want to use AR-B7041 with any DOS which is not supported by RFG, please send your requirement
to Acrosser Technology Co., Ltd. or contract with your local sales representative.
The RFG.EXE provided in the utility diskette is a program that converts the files you list in the PGF and convert
them into ROM pattern file. The RFG will determine how many EPROMs are needed and generate the same
number of ROM pattern files. These ROM pattern files are named with the name assigned by the ROM_NAME in
the PGF and the extension names are *.R01, *.R02 ….etc. To generate ROM pattern files.
The ROM File Generator main menu will be displayed on the screen. There are 7 options on the main menu. They
serve the following functions:
2-2
AR-B7041 User¡¦s Guide
Quit to DOS
Quits and exits to the DOS
OS Shell
Exits from the RFG temporarily to the DOS prompt. Type <EXIT> to return to the RFG main menu.
Load PFG File
If this option is used, the RFG will prompt you for the PGF file name. This option is useful if you have not
previously entered a PGF name or you wish to use a different PGF file. The RFG will check and display the
PGF filename, ROM pattern file name, EPROM capacity, DOS version and the number of ROM pattern files
that will be generated.
Type Current PGF File
This option instructs the RFG to use the DOS type command to display the contents of the current PGF file.
Generate ROM File(s)
If there is no mistake in your *.PGF file, then this menu option will generate ROM pattern files. The number
of ROM pattern file generated by the RFG will depend on the total capacity needed by your files. For
instance, if 3 files are generated, then you will need to use 3 EPROMs (The size depends upon the number
stated in your PGF). The ROM pattern files will have the same file names, but will have different extension
names. For example:
TEST.R01, TEST.R02, TEST.R03 …etc.
Display Error in PGF File
This option displays errors that were detected in your PGF.
Help to PGF File
This option gives information on how to write a PGF file and how to generate ROM pattern files. An
example PGF is also included.
Move the reverse video bar to <Generate ROM File(s)> then press [ENTER]. The ROM pattern file is a binary file.
The file size will be the same size as the EPROM that you assigned in the PGF. For example, if you are using
128KX8 EPROM memory chips, then the size of ROM patterns file will be 131072 bytes. For other chips the file
size will be:
64KX8 EPROM----65536 bytes
256KX8 EPROM —262144 bytes
512KX8 EPROM---524288 bytes
1MX8 EPROM -----1048576 bytes
(E) RFGDEMO.PGF
RFGDEMO.PGF This file provides a sample PROGRAM GROUP FILE which illustrates how to create ROM
pattern files correctly.
The PGF is an ASCII text file that can be created by using any text editor, word processor or DOS <COPY CON>
command. The PGF lists what files will be copied and if DOS is going to be copied. This file can have any DOS
filename, but the extension name must be *.PGF. For example, followings are valid filenames.
RFGDEMO.PGF
MYRFG.PGF
MSDOS.PGF
….
2-3
AR-B7041 User¡¦s Guide
An examples of the *.PGF file is as follow.
ROM_NAME=TEST1
DOS_DRIVE=C:
; ROM pattern file name is TEST1
; The output file names will be TEST1.R01, TEST1.R02..etc.
; DOS system drive unit is drive C:
; If user does not want to copy DOS system files onto the ROM disk
; write as DOS_DRIVE=NONE
ROM_SIZE=128
; 128 means 128KX8 (27C/29F010) EPROM size used
; 256 means 512KX8 (27C/29F020) EPROM size used
; 512 means 512KX8 (27C/29F040) EPROM size used
; 1024 means 1MX8 (27C080) EPROM size used
The following 3 files are options which depend on whether the ROM disk is to be bootable or not.

This program demonstrates how to enable and disable software write protected function. It
also shows the current protect mode of write or read only memory.
2.3 WRITE PROTECT FUNCTION
The AR-B7041 provides hardware and software write protect functions for small page 5V FLASH disk and only
software write protected function for SRAM disk. This is to prevent your data on 5V FLASH or SRAM disk from
accidental deletion or overwrite. If your FLASH/SRAM disk is write protected, any write operation to the protected
FLASH/SRAM disk will get a write protect error:
Write protect error writing drive A
About, Retry, Fail?
2.3.1 Hardware Write Protect
To enable the hardware protect function for small page 5V FLASH disk set the SW1-8 and SW1-9 to the ON and
OFF position, please refer to the “ Switch Setting” .
2.3.2 Software Write Protect
If you need the write protect function and sometimes you have to write or update data on your FLASH/SRAM disk,
you can use the software write protect instead of hardware write protect. The software write protect function is
enabled or disabled by writing a data to an I/O port.

2.4 WATCHDOG TIMER
This section describes how to use the Watchdog Timer, disabled, enabled, and trigger.
The AR-B7041 is equipped with a programmable time-out period watchdog timer. User can use the program to
enable the watchdog timer. Once you have enabled the watchdog timer, the program should trigger it every time
before it times out. If your program fails to trigger or disable this timer before it times out because of system hang-
up, it will generate a reset signal to reset the system. The time-out period can be programmed to be 3 to 42
seconds.

2.4.1 Watchdog Timer Setting
The watchdog timer is a circuit that may be used from your program software to detect crashes or hang-ups.
Whenever the watchdog timer is enabled, the LED will blink to indicate that the timer is counting. The watchdog
timer is automatically disabled after reset.
Once you have enabled the watchdog timer, your program must trigger the watchdog timer every time before it
times-out. After you trigger the watchdog timer, it will be set to zero and start to count again. If your program fails
to trigger the watchdog timer before time-out, it will generate a reset pulse to reset the system.
The factor of the watchdog timer time-out constant is approximately 6 seconds. The period for the watchdog timer
time-out period is between 1 to 7 timer factors.
If you want to reset your system when watchdog times out, the following table listed the relation of timer factors
between time-out period.

To enable the watchdog timer, you have to output a byte of timer factor to the watchdog register whose address is
base port+3m 76h or 77h. The following is a BASICA program which demonstrates how to enable the watchdog
timer and set the time-out period at 24 seconds.

2.4.4 Watchdog Timer Trigger
After you enable the watchdog timer, your program must write the same factor as enabling to the watchdog register
at least once every time-out period to its previous setting. You can change the time-out period by writing another
timer factor to the watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog before the new time-out period
in next trigger. Below is a BASICA program which demonstrates how to trigger the watchdog timer:

3.2.4 SSD Drive Number (SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7)
The AR-B7041 can simulate one or two disk drives. You can assign the drive number of AR-B7041 by configure
SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7.
If you have copied DOS to the ROM/RAM disk, the computer will always boot from the ROM/RAM disk. After the
DOS is booted, the first disk number will be A: until the program SWAP41.EXE is executed. The SWAP41.EXE
changes the drive number according to the setting of SW1-5, SW1-6 & SW1-7.
If your AR-B7041 does not have DOS and is not assigned as drive A, the computer will boot from your hard disk or
floppy disk. In this case, the BIOS of AR-B7041 will set the drive number of ROM/RAM disk to desired drive
number automatically without having to run SWAP41.EXE after system booting. Do not assign the AR-B7041 with
drive 0 (drive A: ) when the ROM/RAM disk does not have DOS. This is just like that you put a non-DOS disk in
the floppy disk.
If you install only one kind of memory chip on the ROM/RAM disk, the AR-B7041 will simulate one disk drive.

3.3 JUMPER SETTING
Jumper pins allow you to set specific system parameters. Set them by changing the pin location of jumper blocks.
(A jumper block is a small plastic-encased conductor [shorting plug] that slips over the pins.) To change a jumper
setting, remove the jumper from its current location with your fingers or small needle-nosed pliers. Place the
jumper over the two pins designated for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins. Be careful not
to bend the pins.
We will show the locations of the AR-B7041 jumper pins, and the factory-default setting.
CAUTION: Do not touch any electronic component unless you are safely grounded. Wear a grounded wrist strap
or touch an exposed metal part of the system unit chassis. The static discharges from your fingers can
permanently damage electronic components.
3.3.1 Memory Type Setting (M1 ~ M4 & JP1)
Before installing the memory into memory sockets MEM1 through MEM8 you have to configure the memory type
which will be used (ROM/RAM) on the AR-B7041 card. Each jumper selects the memory type of four continuous
sockets.
You can configure the AR-B7041 as a (FLASH) EPROM disk (ROM only), a SRAM disk (SRAM only) or a
combination of (FLASH) EPROM and SRAM disk.
It is not necessary to insert memory chips into all of the sockets. The number of SRAM chips required depends on
your RAM disk capacity. The number of EPROM chips required depends on the total size of files that you plan to
copy onto the ROM disk and whether or not it will be bootable.
Insert the first memory chip into MEM1 if you are going to configure it as a ROM or SRAM disk. If you use a
combination of ROM and RAM, then insert the (FLASH) EPROM chip starting with the MEM1, and insert the
SRAM chips starting from the first socket which is configured as SRAM.
l
l
l
l
M1: is used to configure the memory type of MEM1 to MEM2
M2: is used to configure the memory type of MEM3 to MEM4
M3: is used to configure the memory type of MEM5 to MEM6
M4: is used to configure the memory type of MEM7 to MEM8
CAUTION: When the power is turned off, please note the following precautions.
1. If your data has been stored in the SRAM disk, do not change the jumper position or data will be
lost.
2. Make sure jumpers are set properly. If you mistakenly set the jumpers for SRAM and you have
EPROM or FLASH installed, the EPROM or FLASH will drain the battery’ s power.

If small page 5V FLASH EPROMs are used, it is the same procedure as step 1 to step 4 of using the UV EPROM:
Step 1: Making a Program Group File (*.PGF file)
Step 2: Generating ROM pattern files
Step 3: Installing FLASH EPROMs
Step 4: Programming FLASH EPROMs
Step 5: Reboot system
(3) Typing DOS Command
You can use another way to format and copy files to the 5V FLASH EPROM. This method provides the
convenience of using a RAM disk. You can use the DOS <FORMAT> and <COPY> command to format and copy
files. Follow the following steps to format and copy files to the FLASH disk. it is the same procedure as step 1 to
step 4 of using the UV EPROM.
Step 1: Turn on your computer, when the screen shows the SSD BIOS menu, please hit the [F1] key during the
system boot-up, this enables you to enter the FLASH setup program. If the program does not show up,
check the switch setting of SW1.
Step 2: Use <Page-Up>, <Page-Down>, <Right>, and <Left> arrow keys to select the correct FLASH memory
type and how many memory chips are going to be used.
Step 3: Press the [F4] key to save the current settings.
Step 4: After the DOS is loaded, use the DOS [FORMAT] command to format the FLASH disk.
To format the disk and copy DOS system files to the disk.
C:\>FORMAT [ROM disk letter] /S /U
To format the disk without copying DOS system files.
C:\>FORMAT [ROM disk letter] /U
Step 5: Copy your program or files to the FLASH disk by using DOS [COPY] command.
3-13
AR-B7041 User¡¦s Guide
CAUTION: It is not recommended that the user formatted the disk and copy files to the FLASH disk very often.
Since the FLASH EPROM’ s write cycle life time is about 10,000 or 100,000 times, writing data to the
FLASH too often will reduce the life time of the FLASH EPROM chips, especially the FLASH EPROM
chip in the MEM1 socket.

It is very easy to use the RAM disk. The RAM disk operates just like a normal floppy disk. A newly installed RAM
disk needs to be formatted before files can be copied to it. Use the DOS command [FORMAT] to format the RAM
disk.
Step 1: Use jumper block to select the memory type as SRAM refer.
Step 2: Select the proper I/O base port, firmware address and disk drive number on SW1.
Step 3: Insert SRAM chips into sockets starting from MEM1
Step 4: Turn on power and boot DOS from hard disk drive or floppy disk drive.
Step 5: Use the DOS command [FORMAT] to format the RAM disk. If you are installing SRAM for the first
time.
To format the RAM disk and copy DOS system files onto the RAM disk.
C:\>FORMAT [RAM disk letter] /S /U
To format the RAM disk without copying DOS system files into the RAM disk.
C:\>FORMAT [RAM disk letter] /U
Step 6: Use the DOS command [COPY] to copy files onto the RAM disk. For example, if you want to copy file
<EDIT.EXE> to the RAM disk from drive C: and the RAM disk is assigned as drive A:.
COPY C:EDIT.EXE A:
NOTE: In addition, you can use any other DOS command to operate the RAM disk.

5. MEMORY BANKS & INDEX
5.1 USING MEMORY BANKS
This chapter provides the information about how to access the memory on the AR-B7041 without using the AR-
B7041 SSD BIOS. The AR-B7041 hardware cut every 8K bytes of memory into a memory bank. To access the
data in memory, you have to assign the chip number and the bank number. On every chip, the memory bank
number starts from the number zero. The last memory bank number depends on the size of the memory chip used
on the AR-7041. For example, if you use the 256K bytes memory chip, the bank number on every chip would be in
the range of 0 to 31. The chip number and the bank number are determined by the bank selected register and the
chip selected register on the AR-B7041.
The I/O addresses of these registers are determined by of SW1-1 and SW1-2. The memory address of the
memory bank is located on the range selected by SW1-3 and SW1-4.
The I/O port address of the bank select register is base port+0, and the I/O port address of the chip select register
is base port +1. The following is the format of the bank select register and bank enable register.

5.2 EXPANDING THE AR-B7041’ S MEMORY CAPACITY
There are 2 ways to expand the AR-B7041’ s memory capacity. One is installing 2 AR-B7041 cards in one system
and other is using the AR-B7017 memory expansion module.
Up to two AR-B7041 cards can be installed simultaneously. The AR-B7041 firmware will automatically link all of
the AR-B7041 cards. In order to use multiple cards, be sure that the AR-B7041 firmware address and base I/O
ports meet the following requirements:
l
l
All of the AR-B7041 cards must have contiguous I/O base port
Each AR-B7041 firmware address must be set to occupy a contiguous area of memory.

The AR-B7017 accepts the same kinds of memory chips that the AR-B7041 uses. Every AR-B7017 provides eight
32-pin JEDEC DIP sockets for a maximum of 4MB FLASHs, EPROMs or SRAMs. The AR-B7017 is installed on
the AR-B7041 through the piggyback connector CN1. When you create the ROM pattern files with extensions
exceeding .R08, the files with extensions .R01 to R08 are placed in the first AR-B7041 card from MEM1 to MEM8,
and the files with extensions .R09 to .R16 go into the AR-B7017 installed on the first AR-B7041 or the second card
from MEM1 to MEM8 if no AR-B7017 module, etc.
If no AR-B7017 is used, the locations and sequence of memory chips are listed on the following table:
