Procedure
1 Overview
The upgrade procedure has 10 steps:
1. Check all materials.
2. Prepare the site.
3. Power down the 8200 system
4. Remove the modules from the 8200 TLSB card cage.
5. Remove the clock card from the 8200 TLSB card cage.
6. Install the clock card in the 8400 TLSB card cage.
7. Insert I/O, memory, and terminator modules in the 8400 TLSB card cage.
8. Insert processor modules in the 8400 TLSB card cage.
9. Repeat the next four substeps until all PCI modules and StorageWorks units
have been moved from the 8200 to the 8400.
a. Remove PCI modules from their 8200 PCI shelves.
b. Install PCI modules in 8400 DWLPA/B plug-in units (PIU).
c. Remove StorageWorks devices from their shelves in the 8200.
d. Insert StorageWorks devices in the 8400, and connect hoses and cables
between TLSB I/O modules and PCI buses or StorageWorks devices. Move
and connect other I/O devices.
10. Update device firmware and verify the system.
Before You Begin
You might need to install other equipment not included in this upgrade procedure.
For KFE70–AA and PCI installation, see the DLWPA/DWLPB PCI PIU Installation
Guide, EK–DWL84–IN.
Procedure 1
2 Check All Materials
Check that the upgrade kit is complete. You will need other materials as well.

AlphaServer 8200 to 8400 Upgrade Manual2
The upgrade kit contains the 8400 cabinet, one DWLPB plug-in unit, and one
BA661 StorageWorks shelf. Any additional TLSB modules, PCI/EISA modules, or
I/O devices you may desire to expand your system must be ordered separately. See
the Digital Systems and Options Catalog for more information.
Also, any additional DWLPB PCI PIUs or PCI shelves, and any StorageWorks PIUs
or shelves needed for the 8400 must be ordered separately. Also, you must ensure
that you have I/O hose cables, cables from KFTIA to StorageWorks shelves, and
cables from PCI option modules to I/O devices that are the proper length for your
new 8400 configuration.
Other upgrade materials include:
Tools
Small and large flathead screwdrivers
Small and large Phillips head screwdrivers
Antistatic bags
One for each TLSB and PCI/EISA module

NOTE: Since you are moving from a working system, keep the existing
configuration. Keep the same I/O cable connections to adapter modules,
adapter connections to devices, and keep StorageWorks device numbering by
keeping the same position of the device in a StorageWorks shelf. If you keep
these the same, there will be no need for device reconfiguration.
Procedure 3
3 Prepare the Site
Get a hard copy of the 8200 system configuration, note any additional options
you may be adding with this upgrade, and calculate power requirements.
