_ FCO 9XXX-O007, T1061 XJA module contention problem causing "hangs" ______________________________________________________________________________ | DIGITAL FCO CATEGORY PAGE 1 | | [O] OF 3 | |______________________________________________________________________________| | FIELD CHANGE ORDER NUMBER: 9XXX-O007 | |______________________________________________________________________________| | APPLICABILITY: This "O" FCO should be installed on all VAX 9XXX systems and | | all field spares should be upgraded at the same time. This FCO incorporates | | ECO # T1061-TW005 and changes the revision of the T1061 XJA module to | | revision E4/E5/E6 or E7. | |______________________________________________________________________________| | PROBLEM & SYMPTOM: Previous revisions of the XJA have a contention problem | | with Internal register reads and XMI space reads. This contention under the | | ULTRIX operation system would cause the system to "HANG" during Boot. The | | VMS SYSGEN utility "SHOW/XMI" command would cause the System to KAF, or hang | | under heavy I/O loads. | |______________________________________________________________________________| | SOLUTION: Replace the T1061 XJA module with revision E*. | |______________________________________________________________________________| | QUICK CHECK: Look for revision E4/E5/E6 or E7 on the T1061 XJA module. | | | |______________________________________________________________________________| | PRE/COREQUISITE FCO: | MTTI HRS | | N/A | See Page | | | 2. | |___________________________________________________________________|__________| | TOOL/TEST EQUIPMENT: | | N/A | | | |______________________________________________________________________________| | FCO PARTS INFORMATION | |______________________________________________________________________________| | FCO KIT NO. | DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS | EQ KIT VARIATION | |______________|____________________________________________| APPLICABILITY | | EQ-01624-01 | T1061 XJA module (rev E*.) | | FA-04957-01 | FCO document | | |______________|____________________________________________|__________________| | FCO CHARGING INFORMATION | |______________________________________________________________________________| | WARRANTY/CONTRACT || NONWARRANTY/NONCONTRACT | |___________________________||_________________________________________________| | ON-SITE | OFF-SITE || ON-SITE | OFF-SITE | MATERIAL ONLY | |_____________|_____________||_____________|_____________|_____________________| |TRAVEL/| EQ | | EQ ||TRAVEL/| EQ | | EQ |ORDER-ADMIN,HANDLING | |INSTALL| KIT |INSTALL| KIT ||INSTALL| KIT |INSTALL| KIT |PKG,SHIPPING & EQ KIT| |_______|_____|_______|_____||_______|_____|_______|_____|_____________________| | DEC |DEC | DEC | DEC || N/A | N/A | N/A |N/A | N/A | |_______|_____|_______|_____||_______|_____|_______|_____|_____________________| | APPROVALS | |______________________________________________________________________________| | CSSE | CSL LOGISTICS | CS PRODUCT SAFETY | | Charlie Kretz | Dick Joseph | Robert Brister | |___________________|____________________________|_____________________________| | CSSE MANAGER |This document is published | FCO RELEASE DATE | | Dino Genova |on multiple media including | 26 September 1991 | |___________________|Customer Services and MDS |_____________________________| | MICROMEDIA |Microfiche Libraries.

Perform Normal Operating System Shutdown Procedures, power off the system, disconnect power and lock out the system from AC power source. 2. Replace the old XJA Module (T1061-00) that is installed in slot 8 of the XMI Backplane with the new XJA supplied in the FCO Kit EQ-01624-01. Return the old T1061 module in its appropriate containter for upgrade as soon as possible. 3. Power on the system and wait for the System Initialization to complete 4. Verify that all the XJA Diagnostics run a. EWCLA - XJA Level 4 Diagnostic >>> TEST/XJA/LOG/PASS=5 b. EVCLB - XJA Level 3 Diagnostic >>> B VDS DS> SET T,Q DS> R EVSBA DS> SELECT ALL DS> CLEAR T,Q DS> R EVCLB/PASS=100 5. Re-Initialize the System, Perform Normal Operating System Boot Procedures 6.
