Procedure 1 Overview Following are the steps to upgrade an AlphaServer GS60 or 8200 to an AlphaServer GS60E: 1. Prepare the site. 2. Check all materials and position the new cabinet. 3. Power down the GS60 or 8200 system. 4. Remove the modules from the GS60/8200 TLSB card cage. 5. Insert the modules in the GS60E TLSB card cage. 6. Move devices from the storage drawer. 7. Move PCI modules from the PCI shelves. 8. Move StorageWorks devices. 9. Power up and verify the system.
2 Prepare the Site Get a hard copy of the 8200/GS60 system configuration, note any additional options you may be adding with this upgrade, and make certain three-phase AC power is available.
Shut down the operating system and issue the console commands show configuration, show device, and show to show the system configuration and environment variables. Keep a hard copy of the output for reference. CAUTION: Since you are moving from a working system, keep the existing configuration. Keep the same I/O cable connections to adapter modules, adapter connections to devices, and keep StorageWorks device numbering by keeping the same position of the device in a Storage– Works shelf.
NOTE: AC power receptacles are also required for console terminals and printers.
3 Check All Materials and Position the New Cabinet Unpack and position the new cabinet. Review what needs to be moved from the old cabinet into the new cabinet. The Upgrade Kit also contains the GS60E documentation.

Already installed in the new cabinet are the following: • TLSB card cage • CD-ROM drive • Operator control panel • CCL panel • One StorageWorks shelf • One PCI shelf • Three power supplies The following items need to be removed from your existing cabinet and installed in the new cabinet: • Disk or tape drives and the StorageWorks power supply from the storage drawer • I/O, memory, and terminator modules from the TLSB card cage; and CPU module for the 8200 to GS60E upgrade • Second PCI she
4 Power Down the GS60 or 8200 System Turn off power to the existing system.
1. With the system in console mode, depress the pushbutton on the control panel to the Off position (out). 2. Open the rear door of the cabinet, and, 3. • If the system has two power regulators, push both breakers on the power strip (in the middle of the cabinet) to the right. • If the system has one power regulator, push the handle down on the circuit breaker (at the bottom of the cabinet) (see ➋ in Figure 3). Unplug the power cord from the power strip or from the regulator (see ➌).
5 Remove the Modules from the GS60/8200 TLSB Card Cage Put on an antistatic wrist strap, remove all TLSB modules, and place them in antistatic bags. Inspect all removed modules for damage. Any connector damage and any bent pins in the backplane must be repaired before a module is inserted.
Tools required: small and large flathead screwdrivers 1. Ground yourself to the cabinet with the antistatic wrist strap. 2. Remove each processor and memory module by pushing the handles of the module in toward the module end plate and to the left, releasing them from the stops. Grasp the end plate and slide the module out of the card cage. See ➋ in Figure 4. Place each module in an antistatic bag as it is removed from the card cage. Remove any filler modules. 3.
6 Insert the Modules in the GS60E TLSB Card Cage Determine the placement of the modules in the TLSB card cage. Inspect the KN7CG module’s top row of pins on the large gray connector. If the plastic portion of the connector obstructs the connector pin hole(s), the damage must be repaired or the plastic will bend the backplane pins. Insert the I/O, memory, CPU (GS60 to GS60E upgrade only), and terminator modules. Make certain the EMI gaskets are in position and not damaged.
Tools required: small flathead screwdriver 1. Before installing the modules, determine their placement: a. Processor modules start at slot 0 and work up to slot 2. b. The first KFTHA module goes in slot 8, a second in slot 7, and a third in slot 6. c. The first MS7CC memory module is in the highest-numbered open slot, the next in the lowest-numbered open slot, and so on, alternating between highest- and lowest-numbered open slots. d. Fill all remaining open slots with terminator modules (E2034-AA).
7 Move Devices from the Storage Drawer From the front move the disk or tape drive and the StorageWorks power supply, and from the rear move the disks.
Remove the storage device from the front of the storage drawer and the power supply. Remove any devices from the rear of the drawer. Install them in the new cabinet. NOTE: The storage drawer supports only narrow SCSI disks.
8 Move PCI Modules from the PCI Shelves Slide out one PCI shelf at a time and remove modules for transfer to the new cabinet. Figure 9 Removing PCI Modules from the GS60/8200 System Front 4 1 2 BX-0450G-96 Move the contents of one PCI card cage at a time. This makes it easier to maintain the KFTHA hose number connections, to eliminate device reconfiguration. Likewise, transfer the I/O devices connected to the adapters from one PCI card cage at the same time. 1.
adapters the hose number connections remain the same. (Remember that you labeled the hoses when removing them from the KFTHAs.) 2. Remove the five Phillips head screws that hold the card cage and the cable management rack to the frame (see ➋). 3. Pull the shelf out fully. 4. Remove the top cover by loosening the two quarter-turn screws, lifting the top of the cover away from the card cage, and then pulling the cover to the right and off (see ➍). 5.
9 Move StorageWorks Devices Remove StorageWorks power supplies, devices, and DWZZA/Bs from the StorageWorks shelves in the old cabinet and install in the new cabinet.
To remove SCSI devices from StorageWorks shelves: 1. Disconnect the input power cord from the power supply. See ➊ in Figure 10. 2. Unplug the I/O cable from the shelf (see ➋). 3. Mark the position of each disk in the shelf, so that all disks can be restored with the same unit numbers in the new cabinet. Remove power supply, DWZZA/Bs, and I/O devices by pressing in both mounting tabs (see ➌). Using both hands to support the weight, slide each unit out of the shelf.
10 Power Up and Verify the System Turn on the system, run console diagnostics, and issue the test command. Check the system configuration against the old configuration. Boot the operating system and run VET.

1. Plug in the AC power cord. 2. Set the main AC circuit breaker to the on position. 3. Push the control panel On/Off button to on. 4. To verify power supply operation, check the VAUX and 48V LEDs on all power supplies (see Figure 11). With AC power on and the keyswitch on, both LEDs should be On. 5. Check that all modules are listed in the self-test display. Also check that the LEDs on all modules light. 6. Check the system serial number (see ➏) and change if necessary.
