_ DEC-O-LOG for CI750

_ DOL, CI750-R00C1, CI750-R-0D1, L0101 Module OCT 85

PROBLEM: The following functional problem was discovered in the VAX Cluster 
testing: FCO CI750-R00B1 V3.0 microcode introduced "MISC. ERROR TYPE 12 
& 13 (hex B & C)", in variance with CI-Arch. specification.  This resulted 
in VMS CI-PORT RE-INITS errors.

IN-PLANT EFFECTIVITY: APR 84

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Retrofit all CI750's to Revision level "C1". The 
minimum acceptable Revision levels in spares stock are: L0101 Etcg 
Revision "A", Part Revision "H1".  This FCO incorporates the following 
ECO: L0101-TW006.

CORRECTION: Release of V4.0 CI-MICROCODE.

QUICK CHECK: Presence of the L0101 Module at Revison "H1".  The console 
media must also have REV-4 CI780.BIN on it.

The DEC on-site labor charge will be the time required to install and test
the FCO at the then current hourly rate.

ENTRY: CI750-R-0D1
DATE: OCT 85
IN-PLANT EFFECTIVITY: AUG 85

PROBLEM: During extensive in-house testing of very large VAXclusters 
under specific conditions, the CI750 interface will sometimes 
incorrectly recover from CI error conditions.

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Retrofit all CI750's to Revision Level "D1".

QUICK CHECK: The console media must have Rev 5 CI750.BIN on it.  Refer 
to Appendix A on page 6 or Appendix B on page 7 for the verification 
procedures

The DEC on-site labor charge will be the time required to install and test
the FCO at the then current hourly rate.

_ DOL, CI750-E1-I004, L0101 Module, MAR 87

PROBLEM: 1. Numerous Functional Errors (Arbitration Timeout",
"internal queue retry error"). 2. Need a variable sanity timer.
3. Fix "BUFFER LENGTH VIOL.", potential DATAGRAM FREE_Q corruption
and theoretical BUFFER ambiguity by checking "valid" bit when using
cached BUFF_DESC. 4. "Sanity Timer/ARB_To" V6.0 CI_ucode Cluster
hang problem. 

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Retrofit CI750s to Revision Level "E1". This FCO
incorporates ECO L0101-MK009. Field spares stock should also be 
upgraded. FCO upgrades L0101 Part Rev to "J1" and CI780 MICROCODE TO
V7.0. FCO implementation is no longer restricted. 

QUICK CHECK: Location Part #        Location Part #        Location Part #

        This revised FCO supersedes the original release dated 17 Sept 86.
        It has been revised to correct the numbering of the process steps
        on page 11.

_ DOL, CI750-I005, L0118, JUL 88

PROBLEM: Clusters of 6 or more CI/HSC nodes on
SC008 may exhibit CI-PATH NO_RSP or NAK,
ARB-TIMEOUTS, and VC-CLOSURE.  L0118 (and L0100
Rev. E*) corrects adjacent-node collision and
ARB problems.     

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: The L0118 Rev. B* module should
be installed on all CI750, CI780, CIBCI and HSCXX
nodes used in VAXclusters of 6 (Six) or more CI/HSC
nodes connected to a common SC008 Star Coupler.
L0118s should replace all L0100 Rev. D* link modules;
L0100 Rev. E* can coexist with L0118s except in greater
than 16 node environment.     

QUICK CHECK: Check that the link module is part
number L0118.     

  This revised FCO supersedes Rev. A released 02 June 1988.
  It has been revised to correct an error in the Revision
  Chart located on page 3, concerning the L0101 module.

_ DOL, CI750-I006, L0009 JUL 88

PROBLEM: Another VAXcluster node randomly receives
incorrect data in data-packed originating from
VAX750/CI750, when a VAX750 single-bit or double-bit
main memory (MS750-XX) error is encountered by the
CI750.     

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: This FCO upgrades the CI750 to Rev. F1
and incorporates ECO: L0009-MK003, (New Part Rev. B2 or C3).
Field Service Spares should also be upgraded at this time.     

QUICK CHECK: Look for new part 23-121C6-00 at location E26
on the L0009 module.

_ DOL, CI750-I007, CI750 Controllers, Jun 91

PROBLEM: The CIXCD  option requires an L0118 or an L0100 Min. Rev E.
The L0100 Rev E. cannot be used when the cluster is over 16 nodes
or contains an HSC60/90.

FIELD EFFECTIVITY:  When installing a 9XXX or 65XX system with a CIXCD
or when upgrading an existing cluster with a CIXCD, replace ALL L0100
Rev "D" modules with L0118-** or L0100 Rev "E" modules (if available).
This FCO affects all CI750, CI780, CIBCI and HSC50/70 nodes in
VAXclusters containing a CIXCD.  **NOTE** An L0100 Rev E can coexist
with L0118s except in a greater than 16 node environment or when used
with HSC60/90s.

QUICK CHECK:  Check that link module is part number L0118-** or L0100
Min. Rev E.
