                    DOCUMENTATION:  Technical Modification 
                      The CPU Routines contained in this kit
                      are applicable to the Burns/Alpha Laptop
                      hardware platform.

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 Diagnostics Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 
though V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems:                   

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU1501_062:

  o  Add support for the DE500-BA adapter and the  Gigabit  Ethernet
     adapter.

  o  The RACORE (Token Ring) adapter was never  supported  in  V6.2.
     The  supported  adapter,  Thomas Conrad (Token Ring adapter) is
     being phased out so this new adapter must be supported.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.  If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must 
also be rebooted in order to make use of the new images.  

If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at 
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
