VAX 4000 Model 200 (BA430) Installation Checklist

This document is an "Installation Checklist" for the VAX 4000 Model 200 (BA430) computer system, published by Digital Equipment Corporation in June 1991.

Its primary purpose is to guide users through the physical installation process of the system. It explicitly states that it's designed to be used in conjunction with a more detailed "Installation manual" and requires other related documentation (e.g., site preparation, operation, troubleshooting manuals, and console/OS documents).

The checklist systematically guides the user through 15 stages of installation, which include:

• Verifying site preparation (power, space, environmental conditions, tools).
• Checking the received shipment against delivery documents.
• Positioning the system.
• Opening system doors.
• Installing and setting up the console terminal.
• Setting various system controls (power, halt button, write-protect, power-up mode, break enable).
• Connecting additional devices (terminals, printers, modems, network).
• Connecting expanders, if applicable.
• Connecting internal cables (like KZQSA and DSSI, with specific instructions for dual-host systems).
• Connecting ground cables (for dual-host systems).
• Connecting the main system power cable.
• Turning on the system and selecting a language.
• Closing and locking the system doors.
• Finally, it includes post-installation verification steps such as learning to operate controls, running diagnostics, and installing the operating system.

The document also includes important cautions regarding reviewing the system warranty (as a Digital service representative might be required for installation) and provides toll-free hotline numbers for support. For dual-host systems, users are instructed to repeat relevant steps for each host.
