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.

  1. Performing an orderly shutdown of the VAX/VMS operating system.
  2. Halting the primary processor and entering console mode.
  3. Recording existing system configurations like boot specifications and serial numbers.
  4. Powering down and unplugging the system completely.
  5. 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.
  6. Installing the DWMVA option according to its guide.
  7. Powering up the system, updating system serial numbers, and restoring boot specifications.
  8. Running a series of diagnostic tests.
  9. Bringing the operating system back online.

Finally, the FCO requires updating the Site Management Guide and reporting the activity on a LARS form.
