UPGRADING THE PROCESSOR

Set up the Velostat Kit (P/N 29-26246-00) to ensure a safe
environment for the highly static-sensitive modules.

Remove the KA820 (T1001) processor,mcdule from slot
the

VAXBI

card cage and place the module on the Velostat

mat.

CAUTION

Before installing the KA825
processor module in
the
VAXBI card cage, clean the card cage slot and
the
module
contacts.
The
card
cage
slot is
cleaned
using
a paddle wipe; the module contacts
are
cleaned

If
you
are
