This Field Change Order (FCO 63XMX-S002) addresses a design issue in early shipments of VAX 6000 series systems with embedded storage. The original system design prevented access to the embedded storage controls and indicators without opening the main cabinet front door, which was problematic.
The solution involves replacing the existing cabinet front door with a new door that includes an opening specifically to allow access only to the operator controls and indicators of the embedded storage option. This procedure, estimated to take one hour, is applicable only to "waivered" systems and not for general field upgrades. The FCO details the steps for door replacement, including using a new door (Part No. 70-26931-01), transferring the system logo, and packaging the old door for return with provided shipping materials and labels, following specific return authorization procedures. It also instructs to update the Site Management Guide and report the FCO activity.
