Firmware Inspection and Upgrade
After powering up your AlphaServer computer, type the command "show version". Check that
the version string printed is "V5.4-2 May 19 1999 14:25:16" or newer, and that the first letter of
the version string is a "V". If this is not the case, you should upgrade your firmware. Instructions
on how to do this can be found at http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/ along with
the latest firmware images.
System Resource Manager Configuration
There are several pieces of information that you need to configure in the SRM subsystem, as well
as device identifiers that you should make note of, prior to beginning the installation process. The
steps that follow take you through that process.
1. Power up your system. After several diagnostics are completed, you will be presented an
SRM prompt ">>>", as shown here:
