The required files are included in this ECO kit and can be used to update your AlphaServer 8400, 8200, 2100 or 2000. The objective of this kit is to enable support of OpenVMS Alpha for KZPSA-BB in systems with memories with 1GB or greater. Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 7 December 1995 @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL KZPSABB09_062 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset. VMSINSTAL will move firmware update executable file ([filename].exe) to your Alpha Systems's OpenVMS disk. You then need to boot the update utility directly from that disk. The procedure for the named Alpha Systems is as follows : 0 After installing the kit, shutdown the system with SYS$MANAGER:SHUTDOWN.COM to get to the console prompt >>>. 0 Boot the update utility from the console as follows : >>>boot dka100 -flags 0,a0 dka100 is the "system_disk" in this example 0 After some printouts, the following will be displayed: BOOTFILE: 0 Enter the directory path and the boot filename for your system. The directory and filename for each system is listed below: For 8200/8400 systems: At the BOOTFILE: prompt enter [sys0.syscommon.sysexe]AS8000_V03.EXE For 2100/2000 systems:(SABLE) At the BOOTFILE: prompt enter [sys0.syscommon.sysexe]T43_SBUPDATE.EXE For GAMMA system :(2100 5/250) At the BOOTFILE: prompt enter [sys0.syscommon.sysexe]T43_GMUPDATE.EXE The example below uses a SABLE system: BOOTFILE:[sys0.syscommon.sysexe]t43_sbupdate.exe 0 After the bootfile is entered you will see the following menu ***** Loadable Firmware Update Utility ***** ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- COVER LETTER -- Page 3 7 December 1995 Function Description ------------------------------------------------------------------- Display Displays the system's configuration table.
