_ DEC-O-LOG for CI780 _ DOL, CI780-R00D1, L0101 Module AUG 85 PROBLEM: The following functional problem was discovered in VAX Cluster Testing: CI780 did not conform to Architectural Specification, producing "Miscellaneous Errors Type 12 & 13 (%X "B & C")", in turn causing VMS CI-port Re-inits. FIELD EFFECTIVITY: NOV 84 CORRECTION: Release of V4.0 CI Microcode. QUICK CHECK: Presence of L0101 Module at Revision "H1" and the console media must 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.

FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Retrofit all CI780's to Revision Level "E1". QUICK CHECK: The console media must have Rev 5 CI780.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.

Numerous Functional Errors ("arbitration timeout", "internal queue retry error"). 2. Need 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 CI780s to Revision Level "F1". This FCO incorporates ECO L0101-MK009. Field spares stock should also be upgraded. This FCO upgrades L0101 Part Rev to "J1" and CI780 MICROCODE to V7.0. FCO implementation is no longer restricted. QUICK CHECK: Locations should contain the following parts: Location Part# Location Part# E114 23-296F3-00 E95 23-297F3-00 E76 23-298F3-00 E174 23-299F3-00 E154 23-300F3-00 E134 23-301F3-00 FCO KIT ORDERING: EQ-01422-01 FCO, PARTS EQ-01422-02 FCO, PARTS EQ-01422-03 FCO, PARTS FA-04707-01 FCO only _ DOL, CI780-I006, 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.

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.
