GS60/8200 to GS60E Upgrade Manual

Order Number: EK-GS60E-UP

This document is the "COMPAQ GS60/8200 to GS60E Upgrade Manual," published in August 1999. It serves as a quick reference guide primarily for customer service engineers on how to upgrade an existing Compaq AlphaServer GS60 or AlphaServer 8200 system to an AlphaServer GS60E system.

The manual provides a detailed, step-by-step procedure for the upgrade, covering:

  1. Site preparation, including checking three-phase AC power requirements and the upgrade kit contents.
  2. Powering down the old GS60 or 8200 system.
  3. Removing components (such as I/O, memory, CPU, and terminator modules from the TLSB card cage; devices from the storage drawer; and PCI modules and StorageWorks devices) from the old cabinet.
  4. Installing these components into the new GS60E TLSB card cage and cabinet.
  5. Powering up and verifying the new GS60E system using console commands and diagnostics.

It also includes information on required tools, safety warnings (e.g., antistatic precautions, needing two people to move the cabinet), and advises users to record the old system's configuration before beginning the upgrade to facilitate device reconfiguration.
