3.11.2 Byte-Wide Socket Signals
Jumper arrays W14 (for S0), W15 (for S1) configure the byte-wide sockets for specific memory devices.
In addition, jumpers W2, W21, control backup battery to S0 for use with SRAMs.
The following table list the signals that appear on the pins of W14 and W15.

3.11.3 Flash EPROM Programming
To program Flash devices, use the FLASHWRI utility supplied on the Common Utilities diskette. The
Common Utilities manual describes its operation.
Programming power is handled automatically for both 5V and 12V Flash devices. The board provides
12V power for programming 12V Flash EPROMs. There are no jumpers to set, as the onboard 12V Flash
programming supply is controlled by software.
Note that there is a 5 mS delay for the 12V Flash programming supply to come up to its full voltage after
being switched on by software. Refer to Ampro Application Note AAN-9210 for information about the
extended BIOS call provided for Flash programming power control.
3.11.4 Battery Backup for SRAMs
To connect the onboard battery (and external battery, if installed on J16) to byte-wide socket S0 to
backup an SRAM, install jumpers on W2 and W21-1/2. Read the section “Backup Battery” in Chapter 2
to calculate the battery life of the backup battery.
