NTRODUCTION The DiskOnChip PCI-G Evaluation Board (EVB) provides a quick, easy way to evaluate the DiskOnChip in platforms with a PCI extension slot. The PCI-G EVB is a useful tool for designers who need to evaluate, program, duplicate or test DiskOnChip, even before their target platform is available.
PCI-G EVB P ACKAGE ONTENTS The PCI-G EVB package includes the following: • DiskOnChip PCI-G Evaluation Board • Release Letter • Quick Installation Guide • Data CD with: Software utilities and tools Additional documentation Note: It is recommended to download the latest software utilities from our website at www.m-systems.com.
PCI-G EVB B OARD ONTENTS The PCI-G EVB can support most DiskOnChip form factors. You can also cascade up to four devices using the relevant adapter daughter board.

4.3. Locking Protected Areas The PCI-G EVB supports the Lock feature. When the LOCK# pin on the second floor adapter is set using a dedicated jumper, the EVB does not allow writing to write-protected areas or access to read-protected areas, even when the correct password is entered. 4.4.
PCI-G EVB NSTALLING AND ONFIGURING THE When installing the DiskOnChip PCI-G EVB as a bootable drive in operating systems other then DOS, make sure to place the relevant systems files on DiskOnChip (i.e., execute according to Section 5.1, then install the systems files and continue with Section 5.2). In Windows systems, the New hardware found message is displayed each time you boot with the PCI-G EVB plugged in.
flag instructs DFORMAT to update the firmware without reformatting /UPDATE the flash media, keeping the information on it intact (such as the DOS systems files). Reboot the system. After rebooting, DiskOnChip is identified as drive [C:]. 5.3. Identifying DiskOnChip on the PCI-G EVB There are two utilities that can identify the DiskOnChip unit mounted on the PCI-G EVB.
DDITIONAL OFTWARE TILITIES 6.1. DOS You can use any of the DiskOnChip DOS utilities with the PCI-G EVB. Detailed information can be found in the DiskOnChip Software Utilities user manual. 6.2. Using PMC Connectors You can connect the PCI-G EVB to boards in which the PCI bus is only accessible through PMC connectors (such as the MCP750 reference board), by using PMC-to-PCI adapter cards (vendor supplied).
RDERING INFORMATION The DiskOnChip PCI-G EVB supports most of DiskOnChip types using the relevant second adapter. Second floor adapters can be ordered in several configurations, depending on the DiskOnChip you want to evaluate.
