33.0. "Removing/inserting EPROMS" by GOBANG::LEMMER () Wed Oct 23 1991 18:09

	If ERPOMS are inserted upside down (wrong orientation) a significant
	short circuit current will be drawn. This will cause the rtvax300
	to fail at boot, nothing is printed on the console. Nevertheless
	the LED's will show something like E/F and stay there. The EPROM's
	will be damaged and the life cycle of the KAV30 module will be 
	reduced....

	We have seen some module's from customers with this failure, so
	please be sure to mount the EPROM's correctly and verify that
	your customer is able to handle EPROM's correctly.

	Thomas
