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.

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.
