G06.25 Release Version Update Compendium—529423-002

Migration
Model 1974 (S88000SE) PMF FRUs feature dual-inline memory modules (DIMMS)
and faster processors than earlier servers and can be ordered in these memory
configurations:
See the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide for more information.
Migration
The NonStop S88000SE server is introduced at G06.25 and supported on G06.24 and
later RVUs. Before installing S88000SE processors in the system, you must first install
the G06.24 RVU or a later RVU. See the G06.25 Software Installation and Upgrade
Guide for more information regarding software requirements for migrating.
The processor type for the NonStop S88000SE server is NSR-Z. For information on
upgrading to a model 1974 (NonStop S88000SE) PMF FRU (PMF 2 FRU), see the
NonStop S-Series Central Office Server Installation and Service Guide.
Any system in which S88000SE processors are installed must use modular ServerNet
expansion boards (MSEBs) to connect the processor enclosures together. If you
upgrade to an S88000SE processor from a system not using MSEBs in slots 51 and
52, you must replace SEBs with MSEBs as part of the upgrade. All cabling previously
used to connect SEBs must be replaced with serial copper or fiber-optic ServerNet
cables specific to the MSEB. ECL ServerNet cables are specifically disallowed when
installing MSEBs for upgrading to model 1974 PMF FRUs.
For compatibility of PMF FRUs and coexistence of enclosures in a system, see the
NonStop S-Series Central Office Server Installation and Service Guide and the
NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide.
Before you upgrade to G06.24 or later RVUs, if your system includes processor model
1951 (NonStop S70000 or NonStop S70000SE), you must change the processor type
from NSR-G to NSR-C in the CONFTEXT file, ALLPROCESSORS statement. All other
references to NSR-G are still valid. Displays or queries done on the system return
NSR-G if the PMF is a model 1951 PMF CRU (NonStop S70000) or 1951 PMF FRU
(NonStop S70000SE).
After changing the CONFTEXT file, you must perform all required DSM/SCM requests
to create a new SYSnn, including the new processor type. System load of the new
SYSnn is required after the new hardware is installed.
The S88000SE does not require the branch prediction logic patch.
