ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_1605.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in ALPCPU1603_062:
o When booting an AlphaServer 4000/4100 over a newly released console
(V5.2), driver calls to IOC$MAP_IO may fail. The driver will then
be unable to touch its PCI registers and will go off-line.
Problems addressed in ALPCPU1602_062:
o Add support for the DE500-BA adapter and the Gigabit Ethernet
adapter.
o The RACORE (Token Ring) adapter was never supported in V6.2.
The supported adapter, Thomas Conrad (Token Ring adapter) is
being phased out so this new adapter must be supported.
Problems addressed in ALPCPU1601_062:
o The ALPCPU1601_071 remedial kit, which applied to V6.2*
and V7.1 is being reissued as two single version kits.
There are no new fixes in this kit. If you have installed
the ALPCPU1601_062 remedial kit you do not need to install
this kit.
Problems addressed in ALPCPU1601_071:
o Allow the use of mixed EV5 and EV6 CPUs on AlphaServer
4000/4100 systems.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and

INSTALLATION NOTES:
The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.
If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also be
rebooted in order to make use of the new images. If it is not
possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a
rolling re-boot may be performed.
