This Field Change Order (FCO 63XMX-1004) outlines the mandatory upgrade of 6000-3XX system CPU modules (T2011-YA) to a minimum revision "AF" when installing the DWMVA add-on option. The DWMVA option necessitates this specific CPU revision, in addition to requiring VAX/VMS Version 5.4-3.
The document provides a comprehensive, step-by-step installation and test procedure for this upgrade. This process includes:
- Performing an orderly shutdown of the VAX/VMS operating system.
- Halting the primary processor and entering console mode.
- Recording existing system configurations like boot specifications and serial numbers.
- Powering down and unplugging the system completely.
- Replacing existing T2011-YA CPU modules (if below revision "AF") with the new "AF" revision modules (part EQ-01630-02) from the FCO kit, strictly adhering to ESD safety precautions.
- Installing the DWMVA option according to its guide.
- Powering up the system, updating system serial numbers, and restoring boot specifications.
- Running a series of diagnostic tests.
- Bringing the operating system back online.
Finally, the FCO requires updating the Site Management Guide and reporting the activity on a LARS form.
