AlphaServer 4100/4000
Firmware Release Notes
For Compaq Tru64
UNIX, DIGITAL UNIX and
OpenVMS Customers

Revised September, 2001

SRM Console Version: V6.0-4

These release notes are for the V6.0-4 SRM console, and include documented
restrictions in V6.0-4. Firmware update instructions and other useful
information is also provided.

Firmware release notes for Windows NT AlphaServer 4100/4000 customers
are available separately. Information about where to obtain AlphaBIOS
console release notes is provided in Section 1.7 of this document.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning with SRM V5.3 console firmware, the
AlphaBIOS console was relocated to a different sector in the flash rom to
accomodate Windows NT serviceability. Please read the update procedures
information, found in Chapter 2, carefully for the details on this change and
what new steps are required for updating firmware. These changes apply to
all systems and are independent of what operating system is in use.

"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
