Installation Instructions: AM-338 / AM-339 RJE Board Set Page 3 The AM-366 Ethernet controller must always be installed in connector J14 in the AM-1600 computer. If you must remove an AM-314 serial I/O board in order to install the AM-338 board, remember to remove the TRMDEF and SETJOB statements from your AMOSL.INI file supporting the serial I/O board you are removing. 4.1Step by Step Installation (AM-1600 Desktop Model) 1.Power down your computer and remove the top cover. 2.
Page 4 Installation Instructions: AM-338 / AM-339 RJE Board Set A simple diagnostic to verify the operation of the AM-339 board is to use an an oscilloscope to watch the DTR line (pin 20 on the DB-25 connector). After a reset, DTR will go low for around two seconds while the AM-339 performs a memory self test. After memory self test has completed, DTR will go high. 11.Once self test has passed, power the computer down again and replace the top cover. 4.
