TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721_VX1-V0100 Alpha 7.2-1 3DLabs Graphics Controller ECO Summary
New Kit Date : 06-FEB-2001
Modification Date: Not Applicable
Modification Type: New Kit
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant
file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1 PCI Graphics Controller on OpenVMS
Alpha V7.2-1. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed In VMS721_VX1-V0100:
o Provide Functionality to enable use of the 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1 PCI Controller
two-dimensional (2D) support software
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 image(s).
If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at
this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
o OpenVMS Version 7.3 Installation
For OpenVMS Version 7.3 and higher, the 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1 PCI Graphics
Controller support software will be automatically loaded following
installation Of OpenVMS and becomes active when the operating system is
booted. No other action needs to be taken by the system operator.
o OpenVMS Versions 7.1-2, 7.2-1, and 7.2-1H1
After the appropriate kits for your version of OpenVMS are downloaded,
the 3Dlabs OXYGEN VX1 PCI Graphics Controller support software is
installed by using the POLYCENTER Software installation utility. To
install the kit, log into the SYSTEM account, and type the following
command at the DCL prompt:
PRODUCT INSTALL VMS***_VX1 /SOURCE=[location of Kit]
*** = the version of OpenVMS that is running on the system, i.e. 712,
721 or 721H1. For example, for a V7.2-1H1 system you would
enter the command:
PRODUCT INSTALL VMS721H1_VX1 /SOURCE=[location of Kit]
The location of the kit may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory
that contains the kit.
To install a PCSI or UPDATE kit, follow the installation directions
included in that kit's Release Notes.
If you ordered the 3Dlbas OXYGEN VX1 PCI Graphics Controller separately,
then follow the additional instructions provided with the module to
install the appropriate support software contained on the CD-ROM
shipped with the module.
Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing
HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt.
