When you run the ECU from the OpenVMS and OSF/1 console,
the system automatically enters the Windows NT firmware.
You must change the character format from 7 bits to 8 bits
before using the Windows NT firmware or the ECU. You must
reverse the change again before booting the OpenVMS or OSF/1
operating systems.
