Page 8 Installation Instructions: AM-137 Board AM-1600/1400 Upgrade
In order to be AM-137 compatible, your bootable disk drive needs to have an AMOS
operating system no earlier than AMOS 1.4C PR8/94 or AMOS 2.2C PR8/94. The
easiest way to obtain this software is from the quarterly CD-ROM disc (Alpha CD).
You must update your operating system before you install the AM-137 board. Load
the AMOS 1.4C or AMOS 2.2C operating system following the instructions in the
release notes supplied with the operating system.
For all AMOS operating systems prior to PR2/95 (i.e., PR8/94 or PR11/94 AMOS
operating systems), you will need to download some additional AM-137 support files.
The additional support software can be downloaded from AMTEC+ or it can be ordered
separately from Alpha Micro. Part number PSB-04057-44 (Super I/O PSK 2.2C)
contains the AM-137 support and Super I/O software for AMOS 2.2C; part number
PSB-04047-44 (Eagle I/O PSK 1.4C) contains the AM-137 support software for AMOS
1.4C. The support software must be downloaded on top of the AMOS operating system.
Once all the software is loaded, you’ll need to use the MONGEN program to load your
boot device driver into the new monitor; SCZDVR.DVR is the driver used for a SCSI
drive connected to the current CPU board.
For Example:
LOG SYS:
RETURN
MONGEN
RETURN
Input monitor name: AMOS.MON
RETURN
New disk driver: SCZDVR.DVR
RETURN
New language definition table name: ENGLSH
RETURN
New monitor name: TEST.MON
RETURN
SAVE TEST.MON
RETURN
Once you have created and saved your TEST.MON file, you need to update the
driver for your magnetic tape drive (if applicable).
If you are using a DAT drive, you must log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY DAT.DVR=647DVR.DVR
RETURN
If you are using an AM-625, AM-626, AM-627, or AM-628 Tandberg tape drive,
you must log into the DVR: account and type:
COPY STR.DVR=625DVR.DVR
RETURN
After the software has been configured, use the MONGEN command to verify
TEST.MON. Type:
LOG OPR:
RETURN
MONTST TEST, AMOSL.INI
RETURN
