ECU Revisions
The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is used for configuring EISA options on
AlphaServer systems. Systems are shipped with an ECU kit, which includes the
ECU license. Customers who already have the ECU and license, but need the
latest ECU revision (a minimum revision of 1.10 for AlphaServer 800 systems),
can order a separate kit. Call 1-800-DIGITAL to order.
If the customer plans to migrate from DIGITAL UNIX or OpenVMS to Windows
NT, you must re-run the appropriate ECU. Failure to run the operating-specific
ECU will result in system failure.
OpenVMS Patches
Software patches for the OpenVMS operating system are available from the
World Wide Web as follows:
http://www.service.digital.com/html/patch_service.html
Choose the “Contract Access” option if you have a valid software contract with
DIGITAL or you wish to become a software contract customer. Choose the
“Public Access” options if you do not have a software service contract.
Late-Breaking Technical Information
You can download up-to-date files and late-breaking technical information
from the Internet.
The information includes firmware updates, the latest configuration utilities,
software patches, lists of supported options, wide SCSI information, and more.
