NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the CPU Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1-1H1
through V6.2-1H1. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in the ALPCPU02_062 ECO Kit:
o When a device driver uses IOC$NODE_FUNCTION to disable a device
interrupt in the IRQ range 8 to 15, keyboard interrupts are
also disabled. This problem is seen on systems with
customer-written drivers. Because of the higher overhead of
IOC$NODE_FUNCTION, the recommended way to disable interrupts is
at the device itself. The part of the code affected is used by
AlphaServer 1000 4/200, AlphaServer 400 4/233, EB64 and
AlphaStation 600 5/266 platforms, but the problem has only been
reported on Digital AlphaServer 1000 4/200 platforms.
o If a device's EISA configuration utility CFG file requests two
or more IRQs, the device can crash an EISA_based system. This
problem can occur on Digital AlphaServer 2100 4/250,
AlphaServer 8400 5/275, AlphaStation 600 5/266, Digital
AlphaServer 1000 4/200 and DEC 2000-300 platforms.
Problems addressed in the ALPCPU01_062 ECO Kit:
o On AlphaStation 200, AlphaStation 400 4/233, and AlphaServer
1000 4/200 CPUs, about one out of every ten SET TIME commands
will set the year or month incorrectly. It appears that the
most common incorrect years are 2014 and 1758.
This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
entire cluster must be rebooted.
