DEC 3000 Model 700 AXP Upgrade Information

This document, "DEC 3000 Model 700 AXP Upgrade Information," provides step-by-step instructions for migrating hardware options from various older Digital systems to the DEC 3000 Model 700 AXP.

The guide details the removal process for compatible internal and external components (including fixed disk drives, removable-media drives, TURBOchannel options, graphics modules, memory, expansion boxes, monitors, and input devices) from:

• VAXstation 4000 Models 60/90/90A
• DECstation 5000 Models 120/125/133/150
• DECstation 5000 Models 200/240/260
• DEC 3000 Model 400 AXP

Key aspects covered include safely shutting down and disassembling the source system, removing specific modules and drives, and crucial preparatory steps like setting unique SCSI IDs for drives and installing new mounting brackets (where required, especially for drives from VAXstation/DECstation models). It emphasizes antistatic precautions during the process.

While this document focuses on the removal and preparation of components, it directs users to other manuals (specifically "DEC 3000 Model 600/600S/700 AXP Options Guide" and "Owner's Guide") for instructions on installing these upgraded options into the new DEC 3000 Model 700 AXP system. It also covers returning unupgradeable equipment and updating service contracts.
