642.0. "B3004-AA REV B05" by KERNEL::ANTHONY () Mon Jun 02 1997 08:20

    
        Can anyone help please:
    
    	Alphaserver 4100 5/400 running VMS,
    
    	needed to replace the second CPU, new CPU is rev B05
    
    
    		CPU 0 = B3004-AA REV B04
    	 	CPU 1 = B3004-AA REV B05
    
    	New CPU is seen at console OK, but VMS reports the secondary
    	as "an unknown cpu type".
    
    	Is this problem known?

	Brian,

	There is a patch for OpenVMS that allows the mixing of CPU types in
	4100s, could this be what you need?.  The patch name is:
	alpcpu1601_071

	It can be found at the Digital Patch Web site:
	http://www.service.digital.com/html/patch_service.html

	or go directly to the OpenVMS V7.1 patch list (to save you 
	navigating the site) at: 
	ftp://ftp.service.digital.com/public/vms/axp/v7.1/

	
	Trevor.

    	Thanks for the fast reply.
    
    	I'll checkout your suggestion.. this may take a few days to
    	get downtime on the customer's system.
