RECORDING THE SSD IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Software Security Device (SSD) is a customized integrated circuit located on the AM-301-10 board
inside your AM-6060 computer. The SSD uniquely identifies your computer to customized software that
has been configured to run only on your computer. If you purchase customized software from your VAR
or other software vendors, you may need to give them your SSD identification number (printed on the
SSD chip itself) before they can "key" the software to your computer.
The SSD identification number is written on the system ID label on the back of the computer in the
section titled "SSD Serial No." Please note the identification number of your SSD at this time and enter
the number on the copyright page at the front of this book.
OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Now that you've unpacked your computer and have everything you need to hook it up, you can begin to
physically install it. Installing your computer is a matter of:
1. Choosing and preparing a location.
2. Making sure the computer is configured correctly for your local electrical requirements.
3. Running an initial diagnostic test to make sure the computer is working correctly.
4. Connecting the operator terminal.
5. Connecting the computer to the Ethernet.
6. Booting under AMOS and checking network performance.
7. Creating a warm boot tape.
8. Modifying the networking configuration, if necessary.
9. Connecting any additional serial terminals or printers.
This chapter covers the first seven of these steps. The last two, which you can do any time after the
computer is up and running, are discussed in Chapter 5.
Some of the topics in this chapter refer to various locations on the front and back panels of the computer.
The next two sections describe the front and rear panel connectors, controls, and indicators.
