Eagle 250 Upgrade Instructions, Rev. A00
PREPARING THE AM-138-10 BOARD
1.
Use eight of the mounting screws you just removed to attach the AM-138-10 to the mounting
plate.
2.
If you haven’t yet, check the jumpers on the AM-138-10 board to make sure they are set
correctly. Refer to the table in Chapter 4.
3.
Install one or two memory SIMMs at J10 (and J11), following the instructions in Chapter 3.
4.
If you haven’t already done so, remove the SSD from your old CPU board (see page 16) and
carefully install it into the AM-138-10 board at U34 (see Figure 4-1).
5.
If you are going to install the AM-138-10 board into a “new style chassis”, as described on page
1, install the small rear sub-panel (DWF-20765-10), included in your upgrade kit, to the 9-pin
and 25-pin connectors at the rear edge of the AM-138-10 board using the male / female standoffs
from the old rear panel yet to be removed.
INSTALLING THE NEW REAR PANEL AND AM-138-10 (OLD STYLE
CHASSIS)
If you have the new style chassis, skip ahead to the next section.
1.
Remove the five screws attaching the rear panel to the chassis, as shown in Figure 6-3.
2.
Attach the new Eagle 250 rear panel to the back of the chassis using the five screws you just
removed. Leave the screws loose for now.
3.
Reinstall the CPU mounting plate, which now has the AM-138-10 attached. First slide the
connector end of the AM-138-10 into place in the rear panel. Then, move the other end into the
proper orientation and press down over the small locating bumps in the chassis bottom. You may
have to rock the chassis top slightly forward or back to lock the locating bumps in place, with the
mounting plate flush against the chassis bottom. Once the plate is placed properly, install its two
mounting screws.
4.
Attach the AM-138-10 to the back panel using the provided male/female standoffs at the UPS
status port and the parallel port.
5.
From the outside of the back panel, install the adhesive backed rectangular cover plate contained
in the upgrade kit over the 15-pin connector hole in the new rear panel next to the Parallel 0
connector.
6.
Tighten the five screws attaching the rear panel to the back of the chassis.
7.
Install cover plates over any connector mounting holes that will not be used to mount connectors.
The appropriate filler plates should either be obtained from the old rear panel or be provided in
your upgrade kit.
