1107.0. "E2062-DA rev E02 Question" by VYGER::BRYCEG () Fri Feb 14 1997 08:52

    Question - Can E2062-DA Rev E02 (pass2 ev5/6) be mixed with E2062-DA
    	       Rev D02(pass1 ev5/6) in the same system.
    
    The reason i ask is we are processing both versions in manufacturing at
    the moment.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Gordon

	Gordon, My understanding is that mixing Pass 1 and Pass 2 EV56s is no problem as long as the firmware revsion is at 4.8-6 or later AND you have the patch for OpenVMS. If you have a mix of Pass 1 and Pass 2 EV56s in the system, a patch is required for OpenVMS versions V6.2-1H3 and V7.1 so that VMS will recognize that the CPUs are compatible. I don't think the VMS patch is required if the system contains all Pass 1 or all Pass 2 EV56s Digital Unix requires no patches. Wayne
