Any combinations not included in the list below will either NOT WORK, or are for one reason or another, NOT SUPPORTED by us. =============================================================================== 1 HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY =============================================================================== DECpc AXP150 / DEC 2000 model 300 (Jensen) Fully supported part numbers/revisions of the CPU motherboard is as follows 54-20674-01 rev E04 or E05 70-29685-01 rev A01 (includes 54-20674-02 motherboard) 54-20674-04 rev A02 or A03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEC 2000 model 500 (Culzean) Fully supported part number/revision of the CPU motherboard is as follows 54-20674-04 rev A02 or A03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== 2.SOFTWARE / FIRMWARE COMPATIBILITY =============================================================================== Acceptable revision levels of system firmware,Adaptec ROM and ECU are listed below for each operating system version which is currently supported on DECpc AXP 150 / DEC 2000 AXP systems. 1) OpenVMS V1.51H1 System Firmware : V1.1 or V1.2 Adaptec ROM : G.1 or G.2 ECU : ECU for VMS/OSF V1.2 or V1.3 note : with ECU V1.3 and System firmware V1.3 onwards , running the ECU on the serial line is now fully supported. =============================================================================== 2) OpenVMS V6.1 System Firmware : V1.3 or V1.4 Adaptec ROM : G.1 or G.2 ECU : ECU for VMS/OSF V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 note : with ECU V1.3 and System firmware V1.3 onwards , running the ECU on the serial line is now fully supported. =============================================================================== 3) OSF/1 V1.3B System Firmware : V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 Adaptec ROM : G.2 ECU : ECU for VMS/OSF V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 note : with ECU V1.3 and System firmware V1.3 , running the ECU on the serial line is now fully supported. =============================================================================== 4) OSF/1 V2.0 System Firmware : V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 Adaptec ROM : G.2 ECU : ECU for VMS/OSF V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 note : with ECU V1.3 and System firmware V1.3 onwards , running the ECU on the serial line is now fully supported. =============================================================================== 5) OSF/1 V3.0 System Firmware : V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 Adaptec ROM : G.2 ECU : ECU for VMS/OSF V1.2 or V1.3 or V1.4 note : with ECU V1.3 and System firmware V1.3 onwards , running the ECU on the serial line is now fully supported. =============================================================================== 6) Windows NT V3.1 System Firmware : V1.0 or V1.1 or V1.2 Adaptec ROM : G or G.1 or G.2 ECU : V1.0 for Windows NT or greater ** ** note that ARCINST.EXE included on the Windows NT 3.1 CD will not run correctly if you use ECU for Windows NT V1.3 or greater Also, if you use V1.3 or V1.4 you may need to modify your OSLOADER path in the Boot Selections from \OS\WINNT\OSLOADER to \OS\NT\OSLOADER. =============================================================================== 7) Windows NT V3.5 (Daytona Beta 1) System Firmware : V1.3 (contains ARC console 3.0.g) Adaptec ROM : G or G.1 or G.2 ECU : V1.3 for Windows NT or greater recommended =============================================================================== 7) Windows NT V3.5 (Daytona Beta 2) System Firmware : V1.4 (contains ARC console 3.5-1 ) Adaptec ROM : G or G.1 or G.2 ECU : V1.3 for Windows NT or greater recommended =============================================================================== NOTES ON JENSEN Motherboard Rev: -------------------------------- Any of the motherboard part numbers/revisions above can be used in a Jensen. There is NO functional difference between them. Any one of these board types can be used to replace any other. 54-20674-01 rev E03 or earlier can be upgraded to rev E04 by means of FCN PB22H-0001. 70-29685-01 rev A01 consists of 54-20674-02 and 54-20676-01. This is equivalent to 54-20674-01 rev E04 54-20674-04 rev A02 is functionally equivalent to 54-20674-01 rev E04 Revision and part number are printed on small sticky labels next to EISA connectors. NOTE ON Adaptec SCSI Controller ROM Revision --------------------------------------------- ROM revision is displayed by entering 'SHOW DEVICE' from the VMS/OSF console prompt. Also checksums associated with the particular revision of ROM are normally indicated on the top of the plug-in ROM device itself. These are Rev G has checksum B646 Rev G.1 has checksum C3DD Rev G.2 has checksum BCE3 Statement on Windows NT 3.5 Release Candidate 1. ================================================ The installation notes supplied with Windows NT 3.5 RC1 state that the 'ECU for Windows NT' should be Version 1.5. Files are included to update a V1.3 or a V1.4 ECU diskette to V1.5. >> Therefore to install Windows NT 3.5 RC1 and all future << >> versions you MUST have a minimum of Version 1.3 Floppy. << It is not recommended and absolutely not supported to update a V1.2 or below ECU diskette to V1.5. Customers must order a new ECU diskette. Remember that the ECU is royalty based software. >> Part number QC-01YAA-HC.
