CHAPTER 2
HARDWARE~
INSTALLATION AND INTERFACING
2-1. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt of this equipment, inspect
both the equipment and the shipping
carton immediately for evidence of dam-
age during transit.
If the shipping
carton
is damaged or water-stained,
request the carrier's agent to be pre-
sent when the carton is opened.
If the
carrier's agent is not present when the
carton is opened and the contents of
the carton are damaged, save the carton
and packi ng materi al for the agent's
inspection.
Shipping damages should be
reported immediately to the carrier.
Do not attempt to serv i
CE~
the board
yourself as this will 'Voi'd the war-
ranty.
2-2. SYMBOLS
A special symbolism is used in this and
subsequent sect ions to denote act i ve-
low signal levels. An asterisk (*) fol-
lowing a signal name, rather than a bar
over the name, means that the signal is
active-low
(negative-trUE~).
For exam-
ple, WAIT* is active when its voltage
potenti al is low.
2-3. INSTALLATION OVI::RVIEW
Figure 2-1
illustrates the hardware
connectors and sockets that may require
setup' before the boa rd can be used.
These are the six edge connectors, PI
through P6, pl us sockets for ROM or
E-PROM and the sockets for parallel-I/O
driver or terminator circuits.
Each of
these groups is discussed individually
below.
NOTE
When one of the standard config-
urations illustrated in Figure
1-3 has been ordered from AMC,
only the following installation
connections need be considered:

2-4. RaMIE-PROM SOCKETS
The
board contains
six
sockets
for
fixed-address
ROM
or
E-PROM.
All
boards are shi pped wi th at
1
east two
E-PROMs installed, which contain the
4-kilobyte Monitor program.
If you
ordered the optional
line-by-line 8-
kilobyte Assembler, the remaining four
E-PROM sockets will
also be filled.
Table 2-1 is therefore only advisory
and will not require installation of
additional
ICs unless you intend to
alter the use of ROM space or install
the Assembler circuits later.
2-5. PARALLEL

DR IVER/TERM INATORS
When the board is ordered, the driver
and terminator circuits listed in table
2-2 are provided.
