[tor.general] Memory installation in a VAX 730

oldeng@utgpu.UUCP (09/17/87)

We are trying to install two 1 MByte memory boards in our VAX 11/730.  

Is there anyone out there that knows anything about this?

There are a few things that we don't know.  Such as, do the boards have to be
in any particular slots?  Do they have to be in adjacent slots, or can they
be scattered?  Must we reconfigure something, or does the VAX recognize the
presence of the boards automatically?  Also, how much of a shutdown do we
have to do?  I will turn the keyswitch to OFF, but should I also throw the
power supply switch (marked with 0 and 1, visible when you pull the VAX
assembly out.)  Or should I unplug the Vax?

Please reply, preferably by E-mail, to oldeng@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu.

Thanks in advance.
