VAX/VAXserver 4000-300, -400, and -500
Conversion
This chapter describes how to convert from a VAX 4000-300, -400, and -500
system to a VAX 4000-400, -500, and -600 system; from a VAXserver 4000-300,
-400, and -500 system to a VAXserver 4000-400, -500, and -600 system; or from
a VAXserver 4000-300 system to a VAX 4000-300 system. To upgrade these
systems, use one of the conversion kits: 670XR-AA, 675XR-XX, 680XR-XX, or
690XR-XX. The VAXserver 4000-300 system uses the 670XR-AA conversion kit.
Caution
Wear the antistatic wrist strap and use the antistatic mat when
removing or installing the KA670, KA675, KA680, and KA690 modules.
Note
The L4001-type memory modules will not function with the KA675-XX,
KA680-XX, or KA690-XX CPU modules. When a KA670 CPU is
removed and the system is converted to a KA675, KA680, or KA690
system, memory must be upgraded to L4004-type memory.
