884.0. "VNswitch DME chip versions" by CSC32::bngpc.cxo.dec.com::goodwin (Brad Goodwn - NSIS) Wed Apr 30 1997 18:11

My customer has some early versions of VNswitch modules. I was told that
there is an ECO to go from the DME 2 chip to the DME 3 chip. I have a VNswitch
that shows up as:

VNswitch900EX, 12 Eth 2 FastEth DME Pass 3,HW=06X0E1,RO=V1.5.4,#1130,SW=V1.5-001

Does this mean that it has the DME 3 chip in it? Also, will the DME 2 chip
show up as "DME Pass 2"?

Thanks,
Brad

884.1Only Pass 3 went to customers...FORBIN::WILKINSONWed Apr 30 1997 21:165
    As far as I know, no pass 2 chips went to customers.  Yes, the
    version string would have indicated as pass 2 chip if the module
    had one.

Thanks, 

Some of the modules were taken from Ed Buzzell's last VNswitch class here at 
CXO. So we were not sure if they might have the "DME Pass 2" chips. We are 
going to check them all today.
