I don't understand your question, but maybe the following information will
help. You need to inform Amber that you will be running a periodic simulation
when you set up the prmtop and inpcrd files, which have information on the
type of unit cell and its dimensions. You also need to set ntb=1 in the
pmemd/sander input file; this may sound redundant, but there are cases where
where one might want to run a non-periodic calculation on a periodic system.
