2. Introduction

Boards and EPROMs2.5

Boards that perform game relevant routines are located in-

side the logic box (card cage). The logic box can be locked andsealed. The release lever for the multimedia board cover is lo-

cated under the DVD-drive.

Mainboard2.5.1

This board performs all security relevant routines and stores

game statistics. It holds seven EPROMs (U5 - U11) and the se-

curity device (SD). EPROMs U10 and U11 are located on an

add-on board (MEMEX Board).

The base software EPROMs (U5, U6, U10, U11) store theoperating system for security relevant game routines. The

base software is available in different jurisdictional ver-

sions (STD, USA, NLD, CZE, etc.).

The game software EPROMs (U7, U8) store gameplay func-tions and game theme.

The paytable EPROM (U9) stores the paytable.

The security device (SD) is located on an add-on board(MEMEX Board). It provides for copy protection of games

and determines available progressive jackpot modes and

paytable features (such as CASH FEVER, eMillions, Hot

Link, etc.).

Important:Games of software level C5.x.x requireprogramming revision F on mainboard PLD-chipU2 (labeled U2-F), to support the security device.

The MEMEX board holds the security device (SD), EPROMsockets U10 and U11 and a memory extension. The ME-

MEX board and the mainboard act as a unit. During a RAM

Reset the MEMEX board always has to be installed to the

mainboard to clear the memory located on the MEMEX

board, too.

Important: An exchange of the MEMEX boardwill require a RAM reset.

Software Naming2.6

Atronic game software always comes as a software set. A C-

level software set of version C5.x.x. consists of 7 game EPROMs,1 multimedia CD, 1 BIOS EPROM and 1 security device. Game

software is available in different Bet/Line versions and pro-

gressive modes (Standalone, CASH FEVER, SAS progressive,

etc.).

Important: Never mix software sets or use anysoftware combinations that are not approved byAtronic.

Each part of a software set is labeled according to this scheme.

When the machine is operating, the software versions can be

reviewed by entering the Service Menu or the Audit Menu.

The folder "Machine Information / General Machine Settings"

lists the EPROM versions.

Atronic game EPROMs do always come with an Atronic seal

label that lists part number, socket, chip type, naming, check-sum and Kobetron value. Removing this label will void the

EPROM. Atronic game EPROMs come as a one-time-program-

mable (OTP-ROM) type.


14/138


Basic Setup - Overview2.7

The following sections describe how to carry out the RAM Re-

set and the Initial Setup which are required to configure basicmachine settings and to carry out jackpot configuration.

General2.7.1

Atronic machines usually come configured as specified during

order processing. However it might be necessary to reconfig-

ure basic machine settings, such as denomination, metering,

paytable, etc. These settings can not be altered during normal

operation, as they require a machine reinitialisation for techni-

cal or jurisdictional reasons. Applying new progressive jackpot

settings also requires a RAM Reset.

To reconfigure basic machine and jackpot settings:

1. Configure the Commboard

This is necessary only, if you have to alter the commboard

settings, such as progressive mode or channel allocation.

2. Carry out a RAM Reset

This will clear all machine data, statistics and settings, in-

cluding progressive jackpot configuration.

3. Carry out the Initial Setup After a RAM Reset the machine automatically enters the

Initial Setup menu. The Initial Setup allows to configure all

basic machine setting.

4. Carry out (Progressive) Jackpot Configuration

A PC or notebook with Atronic's Alink Config software is

connected to the gaming machine and uploads the pro-

gressive jackpot configuration data.

In an Atronic Progressive Link (APL) the jackpot config-

uration has to be carried out at the APL master machine

only. The jackpot configuration data is then transferred to

all linked APL slave machines.

Important: It is necessary to carry out the pro-gressive jackpot configuration directly after theInitial Setup. Do not insert credits before the jack-pot configuration data is uploaded.

Note: Find more detailed informationon commboard setup and cabelingin the setup manuals that refer to acertain linked gaming product, suchas "Hot Link - Setup and Configura-tion".

3. RAM Reset

Overview3.1

Performing a RAM Reset will clear all statistical data and ma-

chine settings. After RAM Reset was carried out, the Initial

Setup will start automatically, allowing to configure machine's

basic settings. Changing the progressive jackpot configura-

tion also requires a RAM Reset.

Important: Configure commboard DIP settingsbefore performing the RAM Reset!

Connect all peripheral hardware (bill acceptor,

printer, etc) before performing the RAM Reset!Progressive jackpot configuration has to be car-ried out directly after RAM Reset/Initial Setup, be-fore any game was played.

Following special Atronic EPROMs are needed to perform a

RAM Reset.
