Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 030/040 Eagle Upgrade Page 7
PDI-03500-00, Rev. B01
The SSD chip on the AM-137
and all AM-319 boards and
the boot PROM on
Roadrunner boards
require a specialized tool
for their removal. If you
try to remove the SSD
chip or boot PROM
using a screwdriver or
pocketknife, you could
easily damage both the
chip and the socket. This
type of chip extraction tool is
available at retail stores
specializing in electronic
components.
WARNING!
Roadrunner Boot PROM Removal
AM-319 Board SSD Installation
Instructions for removing the Eagle computer top cover are included in the Eagle Computer
Service Manual.
Since you cannot install the SSD chip from the old computer into the new Eagle computer, your Eagle
upgrade order most likely includes a duplicate SSD chip. The SSD chip installs at location U6 on the
AM-319(-00) board or at location U73 on the AM-319(-20). If the SSD chip is not installed when you
receive your Eagle upgrade, you need to install the SSD chip into the socket. Before installing the chip,
make sure there is absolutely no foam residue stuck to the pins. Referring to the AM-319 board
illustration in the Eagle Computer Service Manual, press the SSD chip firmly and evenly into the socket.
Make sure pin-1 on the SSD chip aligns with pin-1 on the socket as shown in the AM-319 illustrations.
Just like the Roadrunner’s boot PROM discussed in the previous section, the Eagle’s SSD chip
requires the same type of tool for its removal. Attempting to remove the SSD chip without the
proper tool may damage both the SSD chip and the socket.
