ECO INFORMATION:

     ECO Kit Name:  KZPSABB09_062
     ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit:  None
     ECO Kit Approximate Size:  13,266 Blocks
     Kit Applies To:  OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
     System Reboot Necessary:  Yes - Refer to the INSTALLATION NOTES
                                     section for more details.


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for the A09 Firmware Update for the KZPSA-BB PCI to
SCSI Adapter on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.  This kit addresses the following
problems: 

Problems addressed in the KZPSABB09_062 kit:

  o  The firmware update supplied with this ECO enables support of
     OpenVMS Alpha for the KZPSA-BB PCI to SCSI adapter in systems with
     memories of 1GB or greater.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

These instructions describe how to install the A09 Firmware Update for
your KZPSA-BB PCI to SCSI Adapter.  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 ECO is to enable support of OpenVMS
Alpha for KZPSA-BB in systems with memories of 1GB or greater. 

Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM
account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: 

   @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 the firmware update executable files 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 :

  o  After installing the kit, shutdown the system with
     SYS$MANAGER:SHUTDOWN.COM to get to the console prompt >>>. 

  o  Boot the update utility from the console as follows :

        >>>boot dka100 -flags 0,a0

        dka100 is the "system_disk" in this example

  o  After some printouts, the following will be displayed:

        BOOTFILE:

  o  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


        For example, using a SABLE system:

           BOOTFILE:[sys0.syscommon.sysexe]t43_sbupdate.exe

  o  After the bootfile is entered, you will see the following menu

               ***** Loadable Firmware Update Utility *****
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
