Preface
Purpose of this
Guide
This guide describes how to upgrade the VAXstation 3100 family
of systems to a VAXstation 4000 Model 60 or Model 90 only. The
VAXstation 3100 family consists of five models–30, 38, 40, 48,
and 76.
You perform the upgrade by removing supported options from
the VAXstation 3100 system unit and installing them in the
VAXstation 4000 system unit. The upgrade information includes
how to remove and install RZ2
x
disk drives, Ethernet ROMs,
memory modules, and execute some console commands.
This guide also describes how to repackage the VAXstation 3100
system for shipment back to Digital after completing the system
upgrade.
Who Should
Use This Guide
Only a Digital service representative or qualified self–
maintenance customer should perform this upgrade. You must
have a working knowledge of and experience working on the
internal hardware devices of a VAXstation 3100 system. If
you are not qualified to perform this upgrade, call your Digital
service representative to schedule an upgrade.
Note
It is the customer’s responsibility to perform software
backups of the system and user disks. The backups
should be performed before the Digital service
representative arrives at the site. Backups are
mandatory to ensure that data is not lost during the
upgrade.
