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 RZ2xdisk 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.
