CHAPTER 2-PRE-INSTALLATION

BEFORE YOU START

Tools

This installation is not for the total novice. The tools needed are:

#1 and #2 phillips head screwdrivers

20-35 watt soldering iron (fine point)

small gauge rosin core solder

small needle nose pliers

small diagonal side cutters

small flat bladed screwdriver

solder sucker (if ICs are soldered in)

matches or a cigarette lighter

small dish for parts

Parts supplied

The following parts should be included with your RAMBO XL

package:

1 RAMBO XL piggyback board

3 Jumper Plugs (plugged onto RAMBO XL)

1 piece of fine hook up wire (for jumpers)

1 piece of heat shrink tubing

1 installation manual

8 256K DRAMS (optional)

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

Purchase your 256K DRAMS

If you have not purchased the RAM chips with RAMBO XL, then

you should purchase eight high quality 256K dynamic RAM chips

before beginning this installation. These are available either from

ICD, your dealer, or the suppliers listed at the end of this

manual.

We could have included the RAM chips in this kit but that would

have artificially inflated the price of RAMBO XL. RAM prices

change faster than computer prices. Nobody wants to be caught

holding a large inventory when the price drops.
