Figure 6: AM-301-10 Backup Battery Removal

4. Inspect the battery contacts and be sure they are clean before installing the new batteries. Clean

them with alcohol and a cotton swab, if necessary.

5. Insert the edge of the new battery down through the square hole and under the left side of the

plastic top. Be sure to install the new batteries with the positive (+) side up.

6. Use your finger to slide the battery to the left and down, until the right edge of the battery slips

under the right side of the plastic top. Release the battery and it should spring to the right,

securing itself under the holder's top piece.

Restoring Your CMOS Settings

Besides the time and date, the AM-301-10’s batteries maintain the boot routine data stored in its on-

board CMOS chip. Therefore, when you remove and replace the batteries, your CMOS settings will be

lost. After you install the new batteries and turn system power on, you need to access the CMOS

Configuration menu and restore your settings. Refer to the AM-6060 Owner’s Manual for detailed

instructions.

If you do not use the CMOS configuration menu to restore your settings, the system will drop into a

standard default boot routine: it will look first for a warm-boot streamer tape on SCSI device ID 3, then

for AMOS32.MON and AMOS32.INI on SCSI disk drive 0.

Once the system is up and running, log to OPR: and enter the current time and date. Reboot the system to

initialize the system up time.

SSD and PROM Chip Removal

The type of socket used for the boot PROM and SSD chips in your AM-6060 requires a special tool for

chip removal. If you ever need to remove and replace either of these chips, be sure to use the correct tool,

as shown in Figure 7.
