AboutThisGuide

Purpose of this

Guide This guide describes how to upgrade a VAXstation 4000 Model

60 to a VAXstation 4000 Model 90, a faster, more powerful

VAXstation. The VAXstation 4000 Model 90 utilizes the new

KA49 CPU module, which houses up to 128 Mbytes of SIMM

main memory.

The upgrade is accomplished by removing the Ethernet ROM

and the SIMM memory modules from the VAXstation 4000 Model

60 KA46 CPU module and installing them into the KA49 CPU

module. Also one of the following graphics modules (LCSPX,

SPXg or SPXgt) can be installed. The SPXg and SPXgt modules

require a SPXg/gt diagnostic ROM with a version of 1.2 or higher.

Who Should

Use This Guide Only Digital Services or qualiﬁed self-maintenance personnel

should perform this upgrade. You must have a working knowledge

of, and experience working on, the internal hardware devices of

the VAXstation 4000 systems. If you are not qualiﬁed to perform

this upgrade, call Digital Services to schedule an upgrade.

Note It is the customer’s responsibility to perform all software

backups of the system and user disks. All backups should

be performed before the Digital Services representative

arrives at the site. Backups are mandatory to ensure that

data is not lost during the upgrade.
