This Field Change Order (FCO) 65XMX-1001 outlines the mandatory upgrade of applicable 6000-5XX system CPU modules (T2052-00) to a minimum revision "K". This upgrade is required specifically when adding the DWMVA add-on option to an existing system, which itself necessitates VAX/VMS Version 5.4-3 or later.
The FCO details a comprehensive installation and test procedure, including:
- Preparation: Shutting down the VAX/VMS operating system, halting the primary processor, and configuring the terminal and console for system interaction.
- Hardware Replacement: Powering down the system completely, observing ESD safety precautions, removing the XMI cardcage cover, and replacing any T2052-00 CPU modules found to be below revision "K" with the provided "K" revision modules from FCO kit EQ-01630-04.
- DWMVA Installation: Installing the new DWMVA option according to its guide.
- System Configuration: Powering up the system, updating the system serial number, and setting boot specifications.
- Verification: Booting the Diagnostic Supervisor (VDS) and running a series of specified diagnostics to ensure proper functionality.
- Final Steps: Bringing the operating system back online, updating the Site Management Guide, and reporting FCO activity.
The document also specifies FCO parts information (kit EQ-01630-04 containing the T2052-00 module, revision "K"), notes that material from this kit is free of charge for all customers, and lists approvals from various departments.
