CHAPTER 1
ROM UPGRADE OVERVIEW

VAX 6000 Model 200/300/400 processor's console and diagnostic ROMs have to be replaced
to support the new MS65A memory. The ROMs must be replaced on all processor modules
in the system. The new ROMs also incorporate support for other new bus devices including:
e

DEMNA, XMI Bus Ethernet Adapter

KDM70, XMI Bus DSA Disk Controller

DWMBB, Enhanced XMI-to-VAXBI Bus Adapter

CIXCD, XMI Bus CI Adapter

InfoServer 100, Ethernet CD ROM Server

Another change introduced along with the new ROMs is a new level 3 VAX Diagnostic
Supervisor program called EVUCA an EEPROM update utility. This program provides more
functionality for updating all VAX 6000 processor’'s EEPROM than the console UPDATE
command. Once the ROMs have been upgraded, it is highly recommended to use this
program rather than the UPDATE command. Refer to Appendix A for more information on
this program.

1.1

VAX 6000 200/300/400 Console Rom XMi Device Support

Use Table 1 to determine the necessary console ROM revision level to support each new
device. Some devices only require patches to the existing console ROM. The current console
ROM/EEPROM revision can be determined by examining the console display printed during
initialization. If a PATCH is all that is required, refer to Appendix A for information on
using EVUCA, VAX 6000 Series EEPROM Utility Program to install the patch.

Quick-Check to Determine Applicability

To determine the presence of the new ROMs, check the processor’s console ROM for the
fullowing part number or the console display (printed during initialization) for the following
RUM rovision.

See Chapter 2. Figure 1 or 2 depending on model for location of the console ROM.

ROM Upgrade Procedure Information

Updating VAX 6000 processor ROMs requires several steps that must be followed EXACTLY
AND IN ORDER. Failure to follow the steps can lead to delays and even having to replace

the EEPROM on the CPU board.
These instructions assume your VAX 6000 system includes no failing processor boards. If

a board fails self-test during this process and the problem can't be corrected, you should
remove that processor board from the upgrade process.
There are some commands that you may not be familiar with in this procedure.
commands like [ESC]

These

SET MANUFACTURING are used in manufacturing to place the

module serial and revision information in the EEPROM. Another is the JSB instruction
which jumps to execute code in the console ROM that programs the EEPROM with a default
image.

CAUTION
Main memory can not have any bad arrays to successfully clear the processor’s

EEPROM.

To update the VAX 6000 processor boards vou have to do ~everal tasks

You must record

information stored in the EEPROM of each processor. Some of this intormation, hke stored

boot specifications and the system serial number, is the same on each processor. You can

display this information from one processor; you do not have to select each processor and
display the information. Likewise, when vou enter the hoot specifications after the ROMs

have heen installed, you need only do this from one processor, because the SET BOOT
command causes the boot specification you enter to be copied to all processors.

ROM Upgrade Overview

Other information, like manufacturing information, is different on each processor, and you
must select each processor in turn using the SET CPU command, to display and record this
information. Likewise, when you replace this information, you must select each processor
and replace the information you recorded for that processor.
After recording this information, you have to disable the EEPROM of each processor. Disabling the EEPROM prevente the new console ROMs you install from using the old patch
table in the EEPROM. Again, you must select each processor, using SET CPU, to disable
the EEPROM.
NOTE

If your console is connected to VCS (VAX Cluster Console) and the VCS baud rate
is not set to 1200 baud, you must either switch to a hardcopy console or return

VCS to 1200 baud. (Switching to a hardcopy console line is probably preferable
and easiest.) The reason for this is that the default console baud rate is 1200 baud.
During the upgrade process, the system is powered up with disabled EEPROMs to
prevent the new console from using the patch vector of the previous console. Since
the EEPROM is disabled, the console will use the default baud rate (1200).

CHAPTER 2
CONSOLE AND DIAGNOSTIC ROM UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Since this procedure requires recording several pieces of information, it is recommended to
use a hardcopy printer.
NOTE

On VT100 series terminale replace [CTRL 3] with [ESC] in the steps below.

Have the customer shutdown the operating system using the approved method.
Example of a typical VMS shutdown session:

$ @sys$system:shutdown
SHUTDOWN—Perform an Orderly System Shutdown on node PEEVEE
How many minutes until final shutdown [0}

Reason for shutdown [Standalone]:
Do you want to spin down the disk volumes [NO]?
Do you want to invoke the site-specific shutdown procedure [YES]?

Should an automatic system reboot be performed [NOJ?
When will the system be rebooted [later]:
Shutdown options (enter as a comma-separated list):
REMOVE_NODE Remaining nodes in the cluster should adjust quorum
CLUSTER_SHUTDOWN Entire cluster is shutting down
REBOOT_CHECK Check existence of basic system files

SAVE_FEEDBACK Save AUTOGEN feedback information from this boot
Shutdown options [NONE!: reboot
[VMS will issue several messages indicating it is shutting down

Then VMS will issuel:

SYSTEM SHUTDOWN COMPLETE - USE CONSOLY TO HALT SYSTEM

At this point type a

to halt the primary jrocessor.

Enter INITIALIZE at the >>> prompt (see Example 1)

This resets the system and

forces all processors into console mode.

Console and Diagnostic ROM Upgrade Procedure

Examine the console display to determine the location of each proceasor in the system.
Record the location of each processor. The letter P on the TYP line indicates a processor
node. Exzmple 1 shows the output from a Model 440 system.

NOTE

Before executing the next step, read the note about VAX CLUSTER console in
the introduction to these instructions.

Set the control panel lower key switch to the UPDATE position to enable writing to the
EEPROM.
NOTE

When you install the new ROMas, the console baud rate will be set to 1260. The
foliowing two steps ensure that this condition is set-up prior to repiacing the
ROMs.

Enter the following command to ensure that the console baud rate is set to 1200.
>>> SET TERMINAIL/SPEED:
1200

Set the baud rate of the console terminal to 1200 baud and make it the permanent
setting. Refer to the terminal’s user/owner guide for instructions on how this is done.

Type the SHOW ALL command and record all parameters, specifically, the
/NOPRIMARY, the /INTERLEAVE, the /SCOPE, the /SPEED, the /BREAK, and the
boot specifications. Example 2 shows the latter pert of the command output:

NOTE

The following steps are used to connect the console terminal to each processor
in the system beginning with the processor at the lowest node and progressing
to the highest.

From the console display in Step 4 determine which nodes contain processors. Then
connect the terminal to the processor at the lowest node by entering:
>>> SET CPU n /where n is the XMI node number

10. Enter a

SHOW SYSTEM SERIAL command and record the system serial

number. Here is a sample of the command output:

>>> $A?SHOW SYSTEM SERIAL
System serial number: AG83701988

11. Enter the
SHOW MANUFACTURING command and record the module
serial number and revision of the current processor board. Make sure you match this

information with the number of the processor you are currently set to. When you clear
the EEPROM, this information is lost and must be entered manually into each module’s
EEPROM. Currently the last three fields in the manufacturing area are not used. The
example below is from a Model 400, there could be a ~licht vanation from it depending
on the VAX 6000 Model.

The sample output from a Model 400 System follows:

>>> $A?SHOW MANUFACTURING

Console and Diagnostic ROM Upgrade Procedure

Manufacturing parameters are as follows:
Module serial number: N184800046
Module revision: JO3
REX520 revision
FPU revision:

RSSC revision:
12.

Deposit a zero into the EEPROM header to disable console patches by entering the
following instruction:
>>>D/U 20080000 9

13.

If the system has only one processor buard, go to Step 16.

14,

Enter SET CPU n /where n 2quals the XMI node 2umber of the .sext processor.

15.

Repeat Steps 11, 12, and 14 uniil you have recorded the manufacturing parameters and
deposited a zerv into 20080000 (disabled the console patches) for each processor in your
system.

16.

Power down the syrtem hy setting the upper key switch to the Off position.
CAUTION

All VAX moduiles cv. 1in electrostatic discharge sonsitive devices (ESDS). The
use of the VELOSTAT kit is essential to prevent damage that may not be neticed
immediately.

17.

Attach the 15 foot ground cord to the VELOSTAT snap fas‘ener on the mat.

¢.

Attach the alligator clip end of the ground cord to a good ground on the system.

Attach the wrist strap to either wrist and the alligator clip to a convenient portion
of the mat.

18.

Remove a processor module from the card cage, handling it properly as you place it on
the mat. Refer to Table 4 for the appropriate new ROM part number and Figure 1 or 2
for the location of the ROMs depending on model of processor.

Remove the old diagnostic ROM and replace it with the new diagnostic ROM, being
careful to align the chip leads before inserting the ROM into the socket.

Remove the old console ROM and replace it with the new console ROM, heing careful
to align the chip leads before inserting the ROM into the sorket

20. Replace the module back in its original slot in the card cage
21. Repeat Steps 18, 19, and 20 until you have installed ROMs and module revision labels
or all processor boards in the system.

22. Powe=r on the system, by setting the key switch to Enable. If any module fails self-test,
check to see the processor modules are seated correctly in the backplane.

Console and Diagnostic ROM Upgrade Procedure

When all boards pass self-test, the boot processor issues several messages about its
own corrupt EEPROM and unusable patches and similar messages for all secondary
processors. This is expected.
NOTE

If after powering up and the console’s terminal keyboard does not respond,
issue a CLEAR COMM command under the terminal’s Set-Up Mode to clear this
condition.
CAUTION
Before executing Step 23, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE NO TYPING MISTAKES.
If you use the DELETE key to correct a typing mistake, the EEPROM set-up
program interprets the DELETE key as a character. It treats CTRL/U the same
way. If you make a typing mistake, you wiil have to reset the system by pressing

the Restart button on the front of the cabinet. MAKE SURE you use the SET
CPU command to the processor module you were updating at the tims you made

the typing mistake.

23. The default EEPROM image is included in the ROMS and needs to be executed to
program the EEPROM.
For Model 200/300, type: >>> JSB 20055000
For Mode! 400, type: >>> JSB 20055C00

The console will then display the following prompts. Answer as shown.
For Model 200/300
Source Addr: 20055400
EEPROM Destination Address: 20080000

Length: 8000
EEPROM Size <8,32>: 32
For Model 400
Source Addr: 20056000

A row of asterisks (*) are displayed on the console termmal

as the EEPROM is

programmed followed by a Halt Instruction. The procesc tukes about 20 seconds.

24. To verify that the EEPROM is programmed correctly. Enter the
i< TRL 31 [D0EL] LKUPVER
command, (Look UP VERsion command) and check for a 81 as the first number of the
output. If you see another number, like 53, repeat the previous step to reprogram the
EEPROM. If you still do not see an 81, replace the EEPROM.
&S. This step only applies to Model 400.

Console and Diagnostic ROM Upgrade Procedure

Enable RBD error logging by entering the following command:
>>> D/U/P/L 200800A0 F

26. Enter the

SET MANUFACTURING command and enter the module's serial
number recorded in step 11 and the NEW REVISION based on the revision in Step 19.
You can enter a carriage return for the remaining parameters. Following is a Model
400 sample output from the command. There will be a slight variation in the headings
depending on the VAX 6000 model.
>>> $A?SET MANUFACTURING
Module Serial Number>>> N184800046
Module Revision>>> AJO03
REX520 Revision>>>
FPU Revision>>>

RSSC Revision>>>
Fields are as follows:
Module serial number: N184800046

Module revision: AJ03
REX520 revision
FPU revision:

RSSC revision:
Update EEPROM? (Y or N)>>> Y
?71 Manufacturing parameters updated.

27.

Enter the
SET SYSTEM SERIAL command, using the serial number you
recorded in Step 10. Here is sample output from the command:
>>> $A?SET SYSTEM SERIAL

System Serial Number>>> AG83701988
Serial number read as: AG83701988
Update EEPROM? (Yor N)>>> Y
?73 System serial number updated.
28.

If the system has only one processor module, go to Step 20

29,

Issue the SET CPU n command to step to the next CPU in the svstem and repeat Steps
23 through 27 untii you have updated all processor boards 1n your system.

30. Now enter the boot specifications you saved in Step 8, using the SET BOOT command.

Below is an example of using this command:
>>> SET BOOT DEFAULT /XMI:E/Bl:4 DU3D

Console and Diagnostic ROM Upgrade Procedure

It may be helpful to check the boot specification you just entered. Enter the SHOW
BOOT command to check the boot specification or specifications. If your system contains
more than one processor, entering the SET BOOT command causes the boot specification

to be copied to all processors, so this command does not need to be repeated cn each
processor.

31.

In Step 8 you also recorded several parameters using the SHOW ALL command.

this step you need to use a series of SET commands to return the system to its original
state. The following are examples.
To set the language:

>>>SET LANGUAGE INTERNATIONAL
or

>>>SET LANGUAGE ENGLISH

To prevent a CPU from being the primary processor:
>>>SET CPU 2 /NOPRIMARY
To set console terminal characteristics:
>>>SET TERM/SCOPE/SPEED:9600/BREAK

NOTE

If you do issue a SET TERMINAL command to change the speed recorded in

the EEPROM, you will need to change the baud rate of the terminal itself.
32.

Return the lower key switch from UPDATE to its previous position.

33. Now press Restart button or enter the INITIALIZE command. If the console displays

no error messages concerning console patches, corrupt EEPROMs, or serial number
mismatches, the ROM update is complete.
Boot the system.
35.

Return the system back to the customer.
Update the Site Management Guide to reflect the new module revisions.
