CHAPTER 2-PRE-INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU START
Tools
This installation is not for the total novice. The tools needed are:
#1 and #2 phillips head screwdrivers
20-35 watt soldering iron (fine point)
small gauge rosin core solder
small needle nose pliers
small diagonal side cutters
small flat bladed screwdriver
solder sucker (if ICs are soldered in)
matches or a cigarette lighter
small dish for parts
Parts supplied
The following parts should be included with your
RAMBO XL
package:
1 RAMBO XL
piggyback board
3 Jumper Plugs (plugged onto
RAMBO XL)
1 piece of fine hook up wire (for jumpers)
1 piece of heat shrink tubing
1 installation manual
8 256K
DRAMS
(optional)
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
Purchase your 256K DRAMS
If you have not purchased the
RAM
chips with
RAMBO XL, then
you should purchase eight high quality 256K dynamic
RAM
chips
before beginning this installation. These are available either from
ICD,
your dealer, or the suppliers listed at the end of this
manual.
We could have included the
RAM
chips in this kit but that would
have artificially inflated the price of
RAMBO XL. RAM
prices
change faster than computer prices. Nobody wants to be caught
holding a large inventory when the price drops.
