Chapter 1 -Introduction; The Eagle 250 Documentation Package; What's In This Book - Alpha Microsystems Eagle 250 Owner's Manual

Welcome to the Eagle 250 Owner's Manual. This book is for the new owner of an Eagle 250 computer.
It tells you how to keep your computer running happily, what to do if something should go wrong, and
how to get the most out of your computer hardware and software.

THE EAGLE 250 DOCUMENTATION PACKAGE

Besides this Owner's Manual, two other documents describe the Eagle 250:
• The Eagle 250 Installation and Technical Manual, DSO-00222-00, describes how to set up the
system hardware and software, and includes technical details about system performance,
capability, and configuration.
• The Eagle 250 Service Manual, DSO-00223-00, contains instructions on adding and changing
components in an installed Eagle 250.
These other documents are intended for Alpha Micro dealers and, in the case of the Service Manual,
authorized technicians. If your computer is installed and running, this Owner's Manual has the
information you need for its day-to-day operation and maintenance.
