FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement
This equipment does not exceed Class A limits per radio noise emissions for digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference
Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Operation in a residential area may cause unacceptable interference
to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Avis de Conformité aux Normes du Ministère des Communications du Canada
Cet équipment ne deapsse pas les limits de Classe A d’émission de bruits radioélectriques pour les appareils numeriques tels que
prescrites par le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique établi par le ministère des Communications du Canada. L’exploitation
faite en milleu résidential peut entrainer le brouillage des réceptions radio et tele, ce qui obligerait le propriétaire ou l’opératour à
pendre les dispositions nécessaires pour en éliminer les causes.
Battery Warning
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
ATTENTION: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a replacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du
même type ou d’un type recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rébut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du
fabricant.
For AM-3500-E100, -E200, -E300, -E400, -E500 and AM-990-01 systems replace battery with Panasonic or Ray-O-Vac BR2325
only. For AM-3500-E550, AM-3500-6000, and AM-990-04 systems, replace batteries with Panasonic or Ray-O-Vac BR1225 only.
Use of other batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion. Replacement batteries may be ordered from your authorized Alpha
Micro reseller.
Safety Warning
This computer contains no user-configurable components that require opening the computer case. Because the power supply in
this computer is capable of outputting high current levels hazardous to your safety, the computer case should only be opened by an
authorized service technician.
Cet ordinateur ne contient aucune pièce configurable par l’utilisateur qui nécessite l’ouverture du boitier. L’alimentation de cet
ordinateur peut preduire des nivaeux de tensions dangereux, le boitier ne devrait donc être ouvert que par un technician autoriaé.
SOFTWARE SECURITY DEVICE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: _________________
The Alpha Micro Software Security Device (SSD) is a customized integrated circuit that personalizes the computer, providing
identity verification for it. Certain Alpha Micro and non-Alpha Micro software may require that your computer contain an SSD in
order to run software that has been customized to run only on your computer.
Please enter the identification of your SSD above. The SSD identification number should be on your computer ID label under “SSD
Serial No.” (Another way of finding the number is to look at the SSD itself. The SSD is located in an integrated circuit location on
the CPU board; its identification number is printed on the SSD itself.) Software vendors may ask you for the SSD number if they are
customizing software to run only on your computer.

INTRODUCTION
The instructions in this document are intended only for authorized service personnel. Eagle series
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.
Note: This document describes the Eagle Series computer packaged in the standard Eagle enclosure. For
information on the AM-990 packaging option, consult the AM-990 SBC Service Manual, part number
DSS-10524-00.
The following procedures are discussed:
• Removing your computer’s top cover.
• Electronic equipment handling precautions.
• Printed circuit board configuration options.
• Installing memory.
• Peripheral installation.
EAGLE SERIES COMPUTERS
The instructions in this document are applicable to all computers in the Eagle Series. There are three
basic models that make up the Eagle series: the 100, 300, and 550. There are also the 400 and 500
models, which are more powerful variations of the Eagle 300 computer. Here’s a brief introduction to
the Eagle series lineup:
Eagle 100 A single board computer based on a main electronics board called the AM-137. The
AM-137 board includes all the circuitry found on Alpha Micro’s AM-172 Roadrunner
board.
Eagle 300 Based on the DWB-00319-00 board; can be ordered with either an AM-172 or AM-174
Roadrunner board.
Eagle 400 Created by installing an AM-174 66MHz Roadrunner board into an 300 computer.
Eagle 500 Created by installing an AM-174 80MHz Roadrunner into an Eagle 300 computer.
Eagle 550 Based on the DWB-00319-20 board; can be ordered with the Roadrunner AM-174
80MHZ Roadrunner board.

ACCESSING YOUR COMPUTER
For hardware information on the AM-990 chassis consult the AM-990 SBC Service Manual, part
number DSS-10524-00.
When adding additional equipment or servicing your computer, you need to remove your computer’s top
cover. The top cover is held in place with four Phillips-head screws located on the computer’s rear panel.
To remove the top cover, remove the four screws from the locations indicated in the illustration below.
Once the screws have been removed, slide back and remove the top cover.
The screw locations and cover removal procedure for the “Super Eagle” (Eagle 550) chassis is
identical to the standard Eagle chassis shown in the following two illustrations.

Eagle Top Cover Removal
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 are capable of storing 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 below, designed
specifically to protect your equipment from harmful static discharge.

HARDWARE CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
The following sections summarize the configuration options available to let you tailor your hardware to
your needs. Most of these options require gaining access to the main circuit boards within the computer,
and therefore, should be attempted only by qualified technical personnel. Contact your VAR if you
require assistance in this area.
Printed Circuit Board Configuration
The next few sections contain configuration information for the following boards:
AM-137
The Eagle 100 is a single board computer based on a main electronics board called the AM-137. The
AM-137 board includes all the circuitry found on Alpha Micro’s AM-172 Roadrunner board; it also
includes eight on-board DB9 RS232 serial ports, one additional I/O expansion connector, one IDE
(Integrated Device Electronics) disk drive interface connector, one SIMM memory connector, one
parallel port, and an SSD chip.
