Identifying a Digital Personal Workstation?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I recently purchased a Digital Personal Workstation 433.
After reading several answer in the wizard. It seams only the the
-au series of this model support OpenVMS 7.1 or later.
 
What are the specifications of the -au model, and
how can I verify if I purchased a -a or -au series?
 
Thanks,
 
Werner van de Vijver

The Answer is :

 
  The Personal Workstation -a series is not supported by OpenVMS.
 
  The Personal Workstation -au series is supported on OpenVMS Alpha
  V7.1-1H1 and later, with V7.1-2 and later being prefered.
 
  The Personal Workstation is not supported on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1
  or prior releases.
 
  If the system has an IDE CD-ROM and not a SCSI CD-ROM, the system
  will require an ECO kit for V7.1-1H2 (not available for V7.1-1H1)
  or the system will require an upgrade to V7.1-2 or later.
 
  The usual methods of identifying this or other systems is to check
  the front panel label for the system, and/or to check the information
  displayed by the system console when it powers up, and/or (rather less
  commonly) to check the system model number on the back of the box.
