Chapter 2
Preparing for the Installation (All
Upgrades)
Before you install the KA66A processors in your VAX 6000 system, you
need to make sure that the system will work after the physical installation
has been done. This chapter describes the procedure. Sections include:
• Record System Parameters
• Shut Down the System
• Remove Old Modules
• Return Old Processor Modules
• Continuing the Installation
NOTE: Make sure that the version of your installed operating system is one
that supports the Model 600 (KA66A) processor. Otherwise, you will not be
able to restart the system after installing the KA66A processor. VMS Version
5.5 or later supports the KA66A processor; for other operating systems, see
Digital’s Systems and Options Catalog.
