_ DEC-O-LOG for CIBCI _ DOL, CIBCI-I001, BI CPU MAR 87 PROBLEM: (1) 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. (2) Present BIIC may cause other BI nodes to experience BI timeout errors when NRST is set in BIIC CSR register. (3) PLA 23-108C6-00 does not function properly under one condition. (4) A glitch may occur on the output of the PAL causing a parity error on the BI data. FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Retrofit CIBCI options to Revision Level "B1". This FCO consists of the following ECOs: 1. L0101-MK009 - New Part Rev "J1" (Note: began shipping from mfg. 8/1/86) 2. T1017-LK003 - New Part Rev "C1" (Note: began shipping from mfg. 6/1/86) 3. T1017-LK004 - New Part Rev "D1" (Note: began shipping from mfg. 7/30/86) 4. T1018-LK002 - New Part Rev "C1" (Note: began shipping from mfg. 5/26/86) QUICK CHECK: L0101 - E114 is 23-296F3, E174 is 23-299F3, E95 is 23-297F3, E154 is 23-300F3, E76 is 23-298F3, E134 is 23-301F3 T1017 - Check for DC324-EA printed on chip. T1018 - E2 is 23-310J5-00 FCO KIT ORDERING: EQ-01437-XX FCO, PARTS FA-04723-01 FCO only _ DOL, CIBCI-I002, 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.
