If you are going to install the EMM386.EXE driver, please use the [X] option to
prevent EMM386.EXE from using the particular range of segment address as an EMS
page which is used by AR-B1047. For example, write a statement in the
CONFIG.SYS file as follow: (If the memory configuration of AR-B1047 is CC00:0)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=CC00-CFFF
1.3.3. SSD Drive Number (SW1-3 & SW1-4)
The SSD BIOS will simulate one disk drive when only (FLASH) EPROM or SRAM
(starting from MEM1 socket) is installed. The drive numbers with respect to the
switch setting when the AR-B1047 simulates single disk drives.

Table 1-3 SSD Drive Number
Page 3 of 4 AR-B1047 Manual
NOTE: 1. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 1 (B:). If any DOS is
found by the AR-B1047 SSD BIOS, the disk number will be 0 (A:) But, you
can change the disk number from 0 to 1 by pressing the <ESC> key during
system bootup.
2. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 2 (C: or D: or…). If
any DOS is found by the AR-B1047 SSD BIOS, the disk number will be 0
(A:). But, you can change the disk number from 0 to 2 by pressing the
<ESC> key during system bootup.
(1) Simulate 2 Disk Drive
When (FLASH) EPROM and SRAM are both used on the AR-B1047, or you only have
installed SRAM that does not start from MEM1 socket, the AR-B1047 will simulate two
disk drives.

can change the disk number from 0 to 1 by pressing the <ESC> key during
system bootup.
2. If there is no DOS on this SSD, the disk number will be 2 (C: or D: or….). If
any DOS is found by the AR-B1047 SSD BIOS, the disk number will be 0

The M1 jumper block is used to configure the memory type of MEM1 and MEM2, M2
is for MEM3 and MEM4, M3 is for MEM5. Please refer to the following chart to select
the correct memory type.

1.5. HOW TO USE THE D.O.C.
This section provides the information about how to use the D.O.C. (DiskOnChip).
Step 1:
Use SW1-8 set the DiskOnChip to Enable or Disable.
Step 2:
Insert programmed DiskOnChip into sockets DOC.
Step 3:
Line up and insert the AR-B1047 card into any free slot of your
computer.

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.
3. If you want to use the 12V FLASH, please use the external 12V
voltage, the AR-B1047 does not support the 12V voltage.
