Preface
Intended Audience
This manual is written for Digital customer service engineers and self-
maintenance customers servicing DEC 10000 AXP or VAX 10000 systems.
This manual is a follow-on to Basic Troubleshooting and Advanced Trou-
bleshooting.
Document Structure
This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organ-
ized into small sections for efficient on-line and printed reference. Each
topic begins with an abstract. You can quickly gain a comprehensive over-
view by reading only the abstracts. Next is an illustration or example,
which also provides quick reference. Last in the structure are descriptive
text and syntax definitions.
This manual has three chapters and one appendix, as follows:
•Chapter 1, Adding or Replacing CPUs and Memories, describes
how to add or replace these modules.
•Chapter 2, Servicing the CPU, explains how to restore the system
environment to its state before the changes were made.
•Chapter 3, Updating Firmware, tells how to make updates to firm-
ware on processor or I/O adapter modules.
•Appendix A, Kermit Parameters, shows what parameters must be
set for using the Kermit program, which is used in down-line loading
flash ROM code.

Conventions Used in This Document
Terminology. Unless specified otherwise, the use of "system" refers to
either a DEC 10000 AXP or VAX 10000 system. The DEC 10000 AXP sys-
tems use the Alpha AXP architecture. References in text use DEC 10000
to refer to DEC 10000 AXP systems.
When a discussion applies to only one system, an icon is used to highlight
that system. Otherwise, the discussion applies to both systems. Thus, the
abstract for a module that applies only to DEC 10000 systems would look
like this:
Book titles. In text, if a book is cited without a product name, that book is
part of the hardware documentation. It is listed in Table 1 along with its
order number.
Icons. Icons such as those shown below are used in illustrations for desig-
nating part placement in the system described. A shaded area in the icon
shows the location of the component or part being discussed.
Documentation Titles
Table 1 lists the books in the DEC 10000 and VAX 10000 documentation
set. Table 2 lists other documents that you may find useful.
DEC
10000
This section shows a sample boot of OpenVMS Alpha AXP
from the RRD42 CD drive for DEC 10000 systems. The first
step is issuing the show device command to determine the
location of the RRD42.
