Alpha Operating System

Requires the following:
Part Number Description
AVOS00000324-03 OS Compact Flash
AVOCLEAR0320-00+ Clear Chip
AVBBPRO0R021-02 1GHz Kontron BIOS
Power On and Boot Sequence

NOTE: Follow the instructions for setting up and installing the chosen cabinet contained in the
Operator’s Instruction Manual for each cabinet.
Switch power on to execute a series of boot commands. Upon completion of the boot commands, a
splash screen may display containing a counter and a Bally Technologies logo.
When the counter reaches 100%, the screen blanks for 30 to 60 seconds, then the splash screen
re-displays. After approximately one minute, the game screen displays.
NOTE: Depending upon the state of the door, an error message displays until a denomination is set.
If the door is open, the message, Pending Status Denomination Not Set, may display.
If the door is closed, the message, Call Attendant, may display.
The errors are self-correcting after configuration parameters are set and saved.
RAM Clear
NOTE: All OS 3.20XXX and greater require an AVOCLEAR320-00 or greater clear kit (124275).
The term RAM Clear refers to erasing game information stored within the battery-backed
Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) and the Electronically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory (EEPROM).
A RAM Clear is required for the following conditions:
• Failure of the NVRAM or EEPROM
• Change in:
• The operating system or game CompactFlash
• The jurisdiction ID EEPROM
• A set once parameter
NVRAM
NVRAM stores all critical game information. It is primary to game recovery after a power failure. Located
on the MPU board, it consists of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) and a battery. The battery has
sufficient capacity to retain the contents of the SRAM devices for a minimum of one year with no power
applied.
DOC-ALPKT-0005 1
EEPROM
The electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is located on the backplane.
The EEPROM retains its information indefinitely. It is used to store critical game configuration
parameters that change infrequently, usually only one time after a RAM Clear.
Ram Clear Procedure

NOTE: A RAM Clear zeroes the accounting meters. Record all accounting informatin before executing a
RAM Clear.
Use the following instructions to complete a RAM Clear:
STEP 1. Open the main door and ensure the system power is off.
STEP 2. Open the logic door and locate the operating system (OS) and game CompactFlash
(CF). The OS is in the top socket, and the game CF is in the bottom socket.
STEP 3. Remove the OS CF and replace it with the RAM Clear CF.
STEP 4. Remove the Game CF for faster booting of the RAM Clear CF.
STEP 5. Switch the system power on.
STEP 6. Turn the Attendant key to execute the NVRAM and EEPROM Clear. The RAM Clear status
messages will display when the process is complete.
STEP 7. With the system power off, remove the RAM Clear CF.
STEP 8. Re-install the OS and the Game CF.
STEP 9. Switch the system power on.
Configuration after a RAM Clear

Upon application of system power after a RAM Clear, the base denomination and other critical
parameters must be configured from the Setup Menu before the machine can be placed into service.
System Menus
The Attendant Menu and Setup Menu are similar, except for their methods of access. The Attendant Menu
becomes available by turning a key in the Attendant key switch. The Attendant Menu has a blue
background. The Setup Menu requires pressing of the Test button located within the cabinet interior.
The Setup Menu has a purple background.
The menus provide access to configure the machine, to review game history, to view accounting
information, and to perform diagnostics.
Features or settings depend upon the game CF and the Jurisdiction chip installed; therefore, some
features may not be available.
NOTE: For space considerations, the menus are shown out of order.
