ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for CPU Diagnostic Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU1B03_062:
o A backport of a fix back to OpenVMS V6.2 is included in this
kit. The fix was to change some definitions to unsigned long
so that the error log is not passed over.
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU1B02_062:
o Add support for the DE500-BA adapter and the Gigabit Ethernet
adapter.
o The RACORE (Token Ring) adapter was never supported in V6.2.
Since the supported adapter, a Thomas Conrad (Token Ring
adapter), is being phased out, this new adapter must now be
supported.
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU101_062:
o Extended PCI option slot support for Alphaserver 800.
Allow the use of 4 PCI slots for the AlphaServer 800. OpenVMS
Alpha V6.2-1H3 support for Alphaserver 800, which has 4 PCI
option slots, does not see devices in Alphaserver 800's fourth
PCI option slot.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and

INSTALLATION NOTES:
The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.
If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, 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.
