1090.0. "XMI TO PCI PIU UPGRADE -URGENT HELP REQUIRED" by XFMV01::HEMEN () Thu Feb 06 1997 07:48

    hello,
    
    One my customer is having alpha 7000/610 with XMI PIU and battery
    backup PIU. They have placed an oreder for the m/c to be upgraded
    to TURBOLASER (ALPHA 8400 5/300) and also placed an order for PCI
    PIU in place of XMI PIU. SOC gives part no. for alpha 7000
    upgrade to alpha 8400 upgrade , so by ordering the same part no.
    it should take care of upgrading LSB backplane to TLSB backplane,
    i.e. we need not worry about screws ,washers ,cables etc.
    Also there is manual available for alpha 7000 to turbolaser upgrade.
    
    Now the problem for me is that there is no part no. for XMI PIU
    upgrade to PCI PIU as well as i couldn't find any manual on the net
    for XMI PIU to PCI PIU upgrade.  customer has ordered PCI PIU
    (DWLPAA-AA) to be installed in place of XMI PIU. CAN ANYONE TELL
    ME WHETHER THIS IS SUFFICIENT OR DO I NEED TO ORDER ANY CABLES,SCREWS,
    WASHERS ETC. ALSO SO THAT I CAN INSTALL PCI PIU IN PLACE OF XMI PIU.
    ALSO IS THERE ANY MNUAL AVAILABLE FOR THE XMI PIU TO PCI PIU UPGRADE.
    
    ALSO IF ANYONE CAN GIVE TIPS/CAUTIONS ON THE OVERALL UPGRADE , IT'S
    WELCOME. PL. REPLY ASAP AS CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY PLACED THE ORDER.
    
    THANKS ON ADVANCE
    
    REGARDS
