• Added notes concerning the necessity to execute the LINIT and SIT-
DAT WRITE commands after modification of the value of a command
in the CP Commands and Site Dependent Data Commands subsections
of the Maintenance Commands.
• Added a disk capacity and related number of total tracks available table
to the Disk Commands subsection of Maintenance Commands.
• Moved listing for VALPARM LOGHDR command from Site Data
Commands subsection to Testing Commands subsection of Maintenance
Commands.
• Added a CMD and STA code descriptions table to the TEC/DSI Com-
mands subsection of Maintenance Commands.
• Removed the Bus Terminator PCA from the list of valid PCAs in the
Miscellaneous PCA Replacement Procedure.
• Modified the Disk Drive Replacement Procedure section to support the
1 GB (Turbo and Non-Turbo) and 2 GB (Turbo only) disk drive systems
• Modified the BMC AMAT disk drive options table to reflect the proper
option settings for the 380 MB Non-Turbo disk drives and the new 1
and 2 GB disk drives in the Disk Drive Replacement Procedure.

297-6201-500 BMCA001 and up Standard 02.01 July 1997
• Added notes regarding the location of the defect map and HEAD and
CYLINDERS out of range to step 9 of the Install replacement disk
drive procedure in the Disk Drive Replacement Procedure.
• Added note concerning the placement of the J5 jumper to step 8 of the
Disk Crossover PCA Replacement Procedure.
• Added the following to the PCA Switch and Strap Settings:
— CPU LED display codes table
— EPROM PCA table
— 56K Interface PCA table
— Disk Interface PCA table
— SCSI Interface PCA table
— DSI PCA table
— TEC PCA table.
• Modified statements in various sections concerning firmware to verify
filename and release level prior to installation of replacement PCA.
• Modified PCA options statements in various sections to refer to the
PCA Switch and Strap Settings to verify settings prior to installation.
• Modified the start-up activity steps of various sections to indicate that
Turbo BMC and Non-Turbo BMC with 1 GB disk drive users should
wait for the CP S/W Loaded message to print.
• Modified the command sequence used to clear alarms on the standby
processor in various sections.
• Corrected various minor format and content errors throughout the docu-
ment.
