Service manual

About this manual
This manual is a module level service manual for the
Acorn A5000 computer. It is intended as a guide for
suppliers at Acorn Service Centres to enable them to
trace and repair faults at a module level. Suppliers are not
expected to undertake repairs at a component level, as
surface mount technology is used on the printed circuit
boards of the A5000 computer. Any modules which
require component level repairs should be sent to an
Acorn Authorised Central Service Workshop.
This manual supplements the basic information given on
system hardware in the Welcome Guide and Technical
Reference Manual (available for separate purchase).
The operating system is covered at the user level in the
RISC OS User Guide, supplied with certain models (also
available for separate purchase). Programmers and
users requiring a greater depth of information about RISC
OS will also need the following manual:
