Wires should be in this order, from top to bottom or left to right, depending on jumper
orientation. In some cases, wires may be reversed; if connection doesn’t work in this orientation,
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.

10. If not, the 20-pin connector from the front panel attaches at P10, and additional front panel wires
attach at P8 as indicated:

UPGRADING EAGLE 250 ON-BOARD MEMORY
The AM-138 has two on-board SIMM (single inline memory module) expansion slots, which support
60ns DRAMs; you can install either one or two memory SIMMs. Because the memory is located on-
board, it can be accessed much faster than memory accessed over the VME bus—i.e., AM-730 and AM-
740 memory boards used with earlier CPU boards.
