Chapter 2
Preparing for the Installation
Before you install the KA65A processors in your VAX 6000 system, you
need to make sure that the system will work after the physical installation
has been done. This chapter describes the procedure. Sections include:
• Save EEPROM Contents to TK Tape (Optional)
• Record System Parameters
• Shut Down the System
• Remove Old Modules
• Return Old Processor Modules
• Continuing the Installation
NOTE: If you are upgrading a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400, make sure
that the version of your installed operating system is one that supports the
Model 500 (KA65A) processor. Otherwise, you will not be able to restart
the system after installing the KA65A processor. VMS Version 5.4 or later
supports the KA65A processor; for other operating systems, see Digital’s
Systems and Options Catalog.
