3.10 DRAM Installation The S1572 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accommodate up to 256MB of RAM. The mainboard supports Fast Page Mode, and EDO (Extended Data Out) 72 pin SIMMs. SDRAM(Synchronous) are also supported in the DIMM slots. DIMM's must be of the unbuffered variety.
3.11 CPU Installation Several types of CPUs (75 thru 200MHz) can be used on S1572. Please refer to section 3.2 for the correct CPU jumper settings for your board. w The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can be easily damaged by static electricity.
3.12 Upgrading Cache Memory The S1572's 512kb of on-board pipelined burst SRAM and cannot be field upgraded. The TX chipset can cache a maximium of 64MB of RAM. 3.13 Peripheral Device Installation After all the jumpers on the mainboard have been set, then it can be mounted into the case.
4. BIOS Configuration Award's BIOS has a built in setup program that allows the user to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in the battery-backed CMOS NVRAM.

5.0 Flash Writer Utility You can upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard by using a "Flash Memory Writer"(FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from the factory's BBS(Consult your system vendor for the phone #). The system BIOS is stored on a 'flash' EPROM ROM chip on the mainboard which can be erased and reprogrammed by the FMW.
Page 38
To reprogram the System BIOS, you must first do the following: 1. Check jumper JP2.(Default pins 1-2) The S1572 uses a 5V Flash EPROM so jumper JP2 should be left in the default postion on pins 1 and 2. This jumper should never be moved.
Once you have satisfied the two requirements mentioned above, you can run FMW. You can copy the contents of the “Flash” directory to your hard drive, or you can run the utility from a backup of the support floppy disk. Make sure the new BIOS file is in the same directory as the FMW utility.
