Page 27Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 030 & 040 AM-1000 / AM-1200 Upgrade
To install the new panel, the AM-1000/1200 front bezel must be removed:
1.The bezel is held in place with seven phillips-head screws. Four of the screws are
inside the chassis (these are the screws that secure the bezel to the doublers on
each side of the chassis). The other three screws holding the bezel in place are
located on the bottom of the chassis.
2.Once the screws have been removed, the bezel can be pulled off and the old front
panel can be removed.
3.Install the new front panel and re-install the bezel on the computer.
To install the Roadrunner board on top of the half-height diskette drive or Tandberg tape
drive:
1.Remove the four screws from the bottom of the chassis that hold your half-height
floppy or streaming tape drive in its mounting position.
2.Attach two 1" long standoffs to the front of the drive and two "shorter" 7/8" long
standoffs on the rear of the drive. By using shorter standoffs on the rear of the
drive, the Roadrunner board will be positioned low enough so the SIMM memory
card clears the AM-167 or AM-177 board. Note that the Tandberg tape drive uses
metric standoffs and screws. Diskette drives use standard standoffs and screws.
Be careful not to damage the threads in the mounting holes on the tape or diskette
drive by attempting to install the incorrect standoff (metric or standard). When the
proper standoff is used, it will screw easily into the drive.
3.The installation kit includes two DWF-20349-01 brackets, as shown. One on these
brackets attaches to each side of the drive. Each bracket is held in place with two
screws; diskette drives use standard screws; Tandberg tape drives use metric
screws.
4.Once the brackets have been attached to the drive, the Roadrunner board can be
installed. The Roadrunner board is held in place with four 6-32 phillips-head
screws. One of the screws must use a nylon washer to protect a resistor on the
Roadrunner board, as shown. Make sure the Roadrunner board is positioned with
the SIMM connector located nearest the computer’s rear panel.
