INTRODUCTION
The instructions in this document are intended only for authorized service personnel. AM-6060
computers contain a high-output power supply, which produces current levels high enough to
make it unsafe for unauthorized persons to perform work inside the chassis.
This document describes the following procedures and topics for the AM-6060 computer:
• Removing your computer's cover and electronic equipment handling precautions
• Board versions and compatibility
• Replacing the AM-301-10 board
• Configuration options for the AM-301-10 and AM-176 boards
• Connections to the AM-966 front panel display
• Installing memory
• Peripheral installation
ACCESSING YOUR COMPUTER
When adding additional equipment or servicing your computer, you will need to remove your computer's
top cover. The top cover is held in place with four Phillips-head screws on the computer's rear panel. To
remove the top cover, remove all four screws from the locations indicated in Figure 1. Once the screws
have been removed, you can slide back and remove the top cover, as shown in Figure 2.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
With the AC power cord unplugged and the top cover removed, the components inside your computer
are vulnerable to damage caused by static discharge. Your body and clothing can store an electrical
charge that can damage or destroy unprotected electronic components. Before handling any computer
hardware, make sure your work area is properly protected against static discharge. There are a number of
commercially available static protection devices, like the wrist strap shown in Figure 3, designed
specifically to protect your equipment from harmful static discharge.
Rev. A00
AM-6060 Service Manual

Figure 3: Static Protection Wrist Strap
BOARD VERSIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
Only certain versions of the AM-176 CPU board can be used in the AM-6060. Specifically, the AM-176
must be Rev. C04 or later, with boot PROMs (DWB-00176-10) Rev. B00 or later.
The front panel display board in the AM-6060 must be the AM-966-10. No other front panel display
board is supported.
REPLACING THE AM-301-10 BOARD
The AM-301-10 board plugs directly into the AM-176 board; it is not attached by cables. If you need to
remove and replace it, there are connectors on the AM-301-10 at locations P1, P2, and P3 which plug
into the AM-176 at P4, P6, and J6.
When connecting the AM-301-10, be sure to align the connectors properly. To ensure proper alignment,
the P1 connector has a keying bump on it. Plug this connector in carefully, without forcing, and the
bump will ensure proper alignment of all connectors.

HARDWARE CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
The following sections summarize the configuration options available to let you tailor your hardware to
your needs. These options require access to the main circuit boards inside the computer, and should be
performed only by qualified technical personnel. Contact your VAR if you need assistance.
Printed Circuit Board Configuration
The next few sections contain configuration information for the AM-301-10 and AM-176 boards
AM-301-10 Board Configuration
The AM-301-10 board supports the four serial ports in the AM-6060. It also contains your computer's
SSD chip, real-time clock, and other I/O related circuitry.
Figure 4 shows the AM-301-10 board configured as shipped by Alpha Micro. (The illustration does not
show all components on the board.) Field-configurable jumpers are noted on the figure and described
after it. All other jumpers should be left in their factory configured positions.

• JP5: when installed, pressing the Turbo button on the front panel places the computer into the
Level7 diagnostic state. See the LEVEL7 User’s Guide for instructions on how to proceed when
the computer is in Level7.
In addition, the AC power fail connector attaches to JP6. Make sure the red wire connects to the top pin
(as shown in Figure 4) and the black wire to the bottom.
AM-176 Board Configuration
The AM-176 board contains a 68060 CPU chip, one 50-pin SCSI connector and one 68-pin Wide SCSI
connector, one boot PROM, a high-performance Ethernet interface, and all of your computer's on-board
memory. Your AM-176 board has been factory tested and shipped with its configuration jumpers set in
their standard default positions. Only two areas on the board may require you to change jumper settings:
• Memory size select (JP4)
• Enabling or disabling the supply of SCSI bus termination voltage (JP3)—default set at enabled.
The AM-176 board is shown in Figure 5 with all of its jumpers in their default positions. (The illustration
does not show all components on the board.)

Remote Reset Capability
The AM-301-10 board has an option to enable the computer's remote hardware reset, using a special
cable from Alpha Microsystems, part number DWB-10323-00. To enable remote reset:
1. Connect one end of the cable to JP4 (to the pin nearer J1) on the AM-301-10 board.
2. The other of the cable contains a DB-9F connector; attach this to any unused cutout on the back
panel. You will probably have to remove a cover plate on the back panel to do so.
3. Run a cable from the DB-9F connector on the back panel to the location from which you want to
be able to reset the computer. The far end of the cable should consist of a push-button switch
between pin 1 and pin 7 (signal ground).
Once you’ve enabled remote reset, you can reset the computer by activating the push-button switch.
Replacing the Time and Date Battery
When replacing the backup batteries, always be sure to turn off power to the system first! DO
NOT replace the batteries with the power on! As always when opening your computer chassis,
take proper precautions against electrostatic discharge, which can seriously damage system
components.
The AM-301-10 board uses two 3-volt lithium batteries (BR-1225) to power its time/date circuit. The
batteries are about the size of a dime (1.2 cm), and are secured side-by-side in a plastic holder at location
U10, as shown in Figures 4 and 6.
The batteries need to be replaced when the front status display shows B1 or B0. You must replace both
batteries at the same time. For battery replacement, please follow these steps:
Before turning off your computer, make a note of the current CMOS settings. Removing the
batteries will erase all CMOS data.
1. Insert a knife with a thin blade (such as a small scribe or Xacto™ knife) from the top, down
through the square hole between the right edge of the battery and the plastic holder's top piece.
(The right side is the side toward the connector at J2.)
2. Gently pry the right side of the battery so it slides to the left and pushes against the left side
spring contacts.
3. As you slide the battery to the left and it clears the plastic top hole, pry the right edge of the
battery upward and out through the hole in the top. The battery will typically "pop" up and out.

Figure 6: AM-301-10 Backup Battery Removal
4. Inspect the battery contacts and be sure they are clean before installing the new batteries. Clean
them with alcohol and a cotton swab, if necessary.
5. Insert the edge of the new battery down through the square hole and under the left side of the
plastic top. Be sure to install the new batteries with the positive (+) side up.
6. Use your finger to slide the battery to the left and down, until the right edge of the battery slips
under the right side of the plastic top. Release the battery and it should spring to the right,
securing itself under the holder's top piece.
Restoring Your CMOS Settings
Besides the time and date, the AM-301-10’s batteries maintain the boot routine data stored in its onboard CMOS chip. Therefore, when you remove and replace the batteries, your CMOS settings will be
lost. After you install the new batteries and turn system power on, you need to access the CMOS
Configuration menu and restore your settings. Refer to the AM-6060 Owner’s Manual for detailed
instructions.
If you do not use the CMOS configuration menu to restore your settings, the system will drop into a
standard default boot routine: it will look first for a warm-boot streamer tape on SCSI device ID 3, then
for AMOS32.MON and AMOS32.INI on SCSI disk drive 0.
Once the system is up and running, log to OPR: and enter the current time and date. Reboot the system to
initialize the system up time.
SSD and PROM Chip Removal
The type of socket used for the boot PROM and SSD chips in your AM-6060 requires a special tool for
chip removal. If you ever need to remove and replace either of these chips, be sure to use the correct tool,
as shown in Figure 7.
Rev. A00
AM-6060 Service Manual
Page 9
WARNING!
The SSD chip on the
AM-301-10 and the
boot PROM on the
AM-176 board
require a
specialized tool for
their removal. If
you attempt 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.
Figure 7: SSD Chip Removal Tools
AM-966-10 CONNECTIONS
The AM-6060 uses the AM-966-10 front panel display board, which connects to the AM-301-10. In most
cases, you should not need to connect any wires to or disconnect any wires from the AM-966. However,
if any of your front panel display lights stop working, or if one or more wires come loose from the AM966, you can refer to the picture and list below to check and, if necessary, remake any connections.

try reversing the connector.
If all front panel lights stop working, check the JP4 connection first. If it is loose, none of the
lights will work.
UPGRADING AM-6060 ON-BOARD MEMORY
The AM-176 has four on-board SIMM (single inline memory module) expansion slots, which support
60ns DRAMs. It also has one on-board cache SIMM. Should you want to replace or upgrade any of these
SIMMs, first remove the existing SIMMs, then install new ones, following the procedures below.
If you change the amount of memory in your AM-6060, you must also reset the JP4 jumpers
(memory size select) according to the settings later in this chapter.
Removing Memory SIMMs
To remove a SIMM from its connector:
1. Power down the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover.
3. Press out on the retainer clips and gently tilt the top of the SIMM module, so it is free of the
retainer clips.
4. Lift the SIMM out of the connector.
Rev. A00

Installing the External Cache SIMM
The external cache SIMM must only be installed in the J1 slot, labeled CACHE SIMM. Never
install memory expansion SIMMs in J1, or the cache SIMM at any other location.
To install the 64KB external cache SIMM (PDB-00701-00) on the AM-176 board:
1. Align pin 1 on the external cache SIMM module with pin 1 on connector at J1. Pin 1 on the
SIMM module is on the notched end of the module (see Figure 9 below).
2. Insert the cache SIMM module into the J1 connector at a slight angle.
3. Rotate into the upright position.

1. Memory SIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal capacity.
2. Always install the SIMMs of largest capacity first.
3. Always install the first pair of SIMM modules at Bank0. Use Bank1 for a second pair of SIMM
modules.
4. Insert the first SIMM in connector J2. Align pin 1 at the notched end of the SIMM module with
pin 1 on the connector, as shown in Figure 9.
5. Insert the SIMM module into the connector at a slight angle.
6. Rotate into the upright position.
The SIMM will engage the retainer clips and click into position, locking the SIMM in place.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the second SIMM, at connector J4. If you are using a second pair of
SIMMs, insert them into J3 and J5 using the same procedure.
Setting Memory Jumpers
After installing the SIMMs, set the jumpers at location JP4 on the AM-176 board according to Table 2,
below. Again, only some configurations above 256MB are shown. As you turn on the computer, AMOS
will automatically make the memory available. See Figure 5 for the location of the JP4 jumpers.

Figure 11: Peripheral Bay Positions
The following paragraphs give general instructions for mounting peripherals in the AM-6060
cabinet. For detailed instructions on configuring a particular device, see the installation
instructions shipped with that device.
A peripheral is installed in a drive bay using four Phillips-head screws. To install the screws, you need
access to both sides of the drive bay. On one side of the cabinet, all six of the bays are easily accessible.
However, on the other side, a metal stabilizing panel blocks access to all but the top two bays. To ease
the installation process, Alpha Micro installs peripherals starting at the top and working down. If your
computer includes one disk drive and one tape drive, the two peripherals will be in bays 1 and 2, which
are easily accessible from both sides of the chassis.
To install peripherals in bays 3 through 6, you need to remove the metal panel from the right side of the
chassis (looking from the front). To install peripherals in these locations:

1. Remove the two Phillips-head screws attaching the panel to the chassis.
Notice how the panel is positioned over the two alignment tabs on the bottom of the chassis.
When you reinstall the panel, you must make sure it is properly positioned over both tabs; if not,
you won’t be able to reinstall the two screws.
2. Tilt the top of the panel away from the chassis and remove it.
3. With the side panel out of the way, you can access both sides of the peripheral mounting bracket
and have complete access to all six drive bays.
4. To install a peripheral, simply slide it into one of the available bays and install the four screws
(two on each side) that hold the device in place.
5. Don't forget to attach the appropriate power and interface cables to your new peripheral.
6. After you have completed your peripheral installation, you can reinstall the side metal panel.
The metal panel is an integral part of the chassis assembly. With it removed, the chassis may
shift slightly, either forward or backward. To reinstall the panel, you can realign the chassis by
placing one hand on the top of the chassis and applying pressure either forward or backward.
With the chassis properly aligned, the panel will slide into place.
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION
Each peripheral device sold by Alpha Micro is covered by its own set of installation instructions. The
installation instructions include information on jumper settings, termination, and cabling. Before
installing a peripheral, make sure you read the documentation pertaining to the device.
If the documentation was not included with your peripheral device, it is probably contained on the
AlphaCD which is distributed to all Alpha Micro Value Added Resellers on a quarterly basis, and on our
Web site at www.amos-online.com.
