Page 1Installation Instructions: AM-3501 Expansion Subsystem

1.0INTRODUCTION

This document describes the installation of both I/O and SCSI peripheral devices into

the AM-3501 expansion subsystem. The AM-3501 is designed to be used with Alpha

Micro computer systems containing an "I/O paddle card bus interface".

These instructions are written for the experienced Alpha Micro Technician, so if you do

not feel comfortable performing the hardware procedures discussed below, please

contact your Alpha Micro Dealer or the Alpha Micro Technical Support Group for help.

The AM-3501 subsystem is designed for several different types of serial I/O boards and

SCSI peripheral devices, including one or more of the following:

1/4" streaming tape drives.

8mm magnetic tape drives.

Both full-high and half-high SCSI 5-1/4" hard disk drives.

3-1/2" SCSI hard disk drives (using 5-1/4" mounting brackets).

The entire family of Alpha Micro serial I/O paddle cards, including:

- AM-355 six port serial I/O boards

- AM-358 eight port serial I/O boards

- AM-359 eight port serial I/O boards

Installing peripheral and I/O devices in the AM-3501 subsystem is simply a matter of

mounting the devices inside the enclosure, and connecting the appropriate power and

interface cables. Once installed, you will need to reference the installation guide for

each of the individual devices for instructions on how to identify the new subsystem

devices to your host computer.

2.0PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AM-3501 subsystem can support up to six 5-1/4" half-high SCSI peripheral devices

(as long as the total current draw does not exceed power supply specifications).

The serial I/O expansion on the AM-3501 subsystem uses the "B-Channel" paddle card

bus from your host computer, and standard I/O paddle cards.

The subsystem rear panel will support a maximum of 7 SIO paddle cards. Other

non-serial

I/O boards designed to work on the paddle card I/O bus (AM-324, AM-362,

etc...) should be installed in the host

computer.

The serial I/O board installation is consistent with the standard paddle cards contained

in the larger Alpha Micro computers, such as the AM-4000.
