About This Guide
Purpose of this
Guide

This guide describes how to upgrade a VAXstation 4000 Model
60 to a VAXstation 4000 Model 90, a faster, more powerful
VAXstation. The VAXstation 4000 Model 90 utilizes the new
KA49 CPU module, which houses up to 128 Mbytes of SIMM
main memory.
The upgrade is accomplished by removing the Ethernet ROM
and the SIMM memory modules from the VAXstation 4000 Model
60 KA46 CPU module and installing them into the KA49 CPU
module. Also one of the following graphics modules (LCSPX,
SPXg or SPXgt) can be installed. The SPXg and SPXgt modules
require a SPXg/gt diagnostic ROM with a version of 1.2 or higher.

Who Should
Use This Guide

Only Digital Services or qualified self-maintenance personnel
should perform this upgrade. You must have a working knowledge
of, and experience working on, the internal hardware devices of
the VAXstation 4000 systems. If you are not qualified to perform
this upgrade, call Digital Services to schedule an upgrade.

Note

It is the customer’s responsibility to perform all software
backups of the system and user disks. All backups should
be performed before the Digital Services representative
arrives at the site. Backups are mandatory to ensure that
data is not lost during the upgrade.

Chapter 2
Disassembly of the VAXstation 4000
Model 60 and Removal of Components
Overview
Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to provide information so that
Digital Services Engineers or knowledgeable Digital customers
can disassemble an existing VAXstation 4000 Model 60 and
remove the necessary components for the upgrade.

Caution

Only Digital Services or qualified self-maintenance
personnel should perform this upgrade. You must have
a working knowledge of, and experience working on,
the internal hardware devices of the VAXstation 4000
systems. If you are not qualified to perform this upgrade,
call Digital Services to schedule an upgrade.

Note

It is the customer’s responsibility to back up the software
before Digital Services personnel arrive at the site. This
is important to ensure that data is not lost during the
service process. The customer should also shut down the
workstation software. Before performing any maintenance
work, Digital Services personnel must confirm that the
customer has completed both of these tasks.

Removing Graphics Module (if applicable)

Graphics
Module Types

If you have graphic capabilities in your VAXstation 4000 Model
60, then you may find one of the following graphics module types:
LGC (one board)
The LGC must be replaced with a new LCSPX graphics
module during the upgrade along with the video board clamp
from the kit.
SPXg (two boards consisting of graphics module and frame
buffer module)
The SPXg is transferable to the Model 90.
SPXgt (two boards consisting of graphics module and frame
buffer module)
The SPXgt is transferable to the Model 90.

Note

If the SPXg/gt diagnostic ROM version is 1.1 or lower, then
the diagnostic ROM will need to be replaced during the
reassembly process. The diagnostic ROM in the kit will be
the latest version.

Removing MS44 Memory SIMMs

Cautions

Memory components can easily be damaged by static
electricity. An antistatic wrist strap must always be worn
when removing or installing memory components.
Memory modules must always be removed starting from
the rear of the module. You must remove any modules at
the back of the board and work toward the front of the
board. Memory modules are numbered on the right edge of
the memory connectors located on the system board.
Failure to release the two module retainers will
permanently damage the module connector located on
the system module.

Remove the
MS44 Memory
SIMMs

To remove the MS44 memory SIMMs located on the KA46 system
module, complete the following steps and refer to Figure 2–3.
Step

Removing Ethernet ROM

Note

If the same unique Ethernet address is not required, for
example, for a standalone system, then do not remove the
Ethernet ROM. Consult with the customer.
The Ethernet ROM is the only socketed 16-pin chip on
the system module. The Ethernet ROM has distinct
manufacturer’s markings on the top; written on it is ENET
ADRS (abbreviation for "Ethernet Address").

Cautions

When removing ROMs from the system board, antistatic
precaution must be adhered to.
Before removing the Ethernet ROM, be sure you note the
orientation of the IC chip keyway in relation to the chip IC
socket. If you put the Ethernet ROM in backwards, then
the system will not function.

Remove the
Ethernet ROM

2–24

To remove the Ethernet ROM from the KA46 system module,
complete the following steps:
Step

Action

Locate the Ethernet ROM on the KA46 system module

must go in either the 0 slots or the 1 slots.
Slots 0 are marked in etch as:
0A
0C
0B
0D
Slots 1 are marked in etch as:
1E
1G
1F
