9 and Operation Chapter 1 Overview Overview Copyright 26 Bally Gaming, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This document includes instructions for using the Alpha game platform (AGP), which is available in a variety of cabinets including CineVision, M9, S9, V87A, and VT-2. The 4 Alarm Bonus game is used in this document to illustrate features of the AGP that apply to any installed game. This document may describe procedures for equipment that may not be applicable to all cabinet configurations, or that may require additional components. Each regulatory jurisdiction may have controls, policies, and procedures that must be followed. You are responsible for understanding and abiding by the rules that apply in your environment. MK2-ALPHA-6 [C] 1-1

11 and Operation Chapter 2 Power On and Boot Sequence Switching power on executes a series of boot commands. Depending upon the game, a splash screen may appear containing a counter and logo similar to the following example: Copyright 26 Bally Gaming, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 85% Figure 1:Splash screen When the counter reaches 1% the screen blanks for 3 to 6 seconds, then the splash screen reappears. After approximately one minute, the game screen appears. MK2-ALPAH-6 [C] 2-1

12 Chapter 2 and Operation The following is an example of a 4 Alarm Bonus game screen: Figure 2: Game screen NOTE: Depending upon the state of the door, an error message appears until a denomination is set. RAM Clear 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: If NVRAM or the EEPROM fail; If the door is open, you may see Pending Status Denomination Not Set. If the door is closed, you may see Call Attendant. The errors are self-correcting once configuration parameters have been set and saved. If the operating system or game CompactFlash is changed; If the jurisdictional ID EEPROM is changed When new or replacement hardware is added; When a critical parameter such as the base denomination must change. Copyright 26 Bally Gaming, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 2-2 MK2-ALPAH-6 [C] RAM Clear

13 and Operation Chapter 2 NVRAM NVRAM stores all critical game information. It is primary to game recovery after a power failure. Located on the motherboard, it consists of a one megabyte static random access memory (SRAM) device powered by a battery when line power is off or disconnected. The battery has sufficient capacity to retain the contents of the SRAM devices for a minimum of one year when no power is applied. EEPROM The EEPROM is a 512 byte device located on the backplane. The EEPROM retains its information indefinitely when power is removed. It is used to store critical game configuration parameters that are changed infrequently, usually only one time after a RAM Clear. The EEPROM is also used to store meter data. This feature allows the main electronic circuit board and ETX processor card to be replaced in the field without losing the meter information crucial to proper accounting. RAM Clear Procedure Copyright 26 Bally Gaming, Inc. All Rights Reserved. For a RAM Clear, perform the following steps: STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. NOTE: A RAM Clear zeros the accounting meters. Record all accounting information before executing a RAM Clear. Open the main door and ensure the system power is off. Open the logic door and locate the operating system (OS) and game CompactFlash (CF). The OS is the top socket, the game CF is the bottom. Remove the OS and replace it with the RAM Clear CF. Remove the game CF for faster booting of the RAM Clear CF. NOTE: If Clear NVRAM is selected from the RAM Clear menu, information stored in the EEPROM will be reloaded into the NVRAM. For accounting accuracy when installing in a new installation, select Clear NVRAM and EEPROM. RAM Clear MK2-ALPAH-6 [C] 2-3

14 Chapter 2 and Operation STEP 4. Switch the system power on. The splash screen will display (see Figure 1) until the following RAM Clear menu displays: Ram Clear Part No : Jurisdiction Name : Jurisdiction ID Part No : (part number) (jurisdiction) (part number) BALLY CLEAR FLASH Clear NVRAM Clear NVRAM and EEPROM Use the Test button to select an action Turn the Attendant Key to perform the selected action Figure 3: RAM Clear Menu STEP 5. STEP 6. STEP 7. STEP 8. Use the test button switch to toggle between Clear NVRAM or Clear NVRAM and EEPROM choices. Turn the Attendant key to execute the selection. The RAM Clear status message will display to indicate that the RAM Clear process is complete. The RAM Clear successfully completes when the system displays NVRAM Clear Successful. or NVRAM Clear Successful. EEPROM Clear Successful. EEPROM Verify Successful. With system power off, remove the RAM Clear CF. Reinstall the OS CF, and the Game CF. Configuration after a RAM Clear When power is switched on after a RAM Clear, depending upon the state of the door, an error message appears until a base denomination is set. If the door is open, you may see Pending Status Denomination Not Set. If the door is closed, you may see Call Attendant. The base denomination and other critical parameters must be configured from the System Menus before placing the machine into service. Copyright 26 Bally Gaming, Inc.
