G3vs with Intel 386 or Risc
Processor to R8r
This chapter provides the info rmation necessary to perfor m an upgrade from
either a Release 5/6 system with a RISC Processor, or from a Generic 3 (G3) vs
system with an Intel® 386 processor, to a Release 8r system.
The upgrade to a Release 8r system requires a major c hange of hardware and
software. The port circuit pac ks from the present system may be reused only if a
site inspection deter mines that the port circu it pack vintages are usab le in the
Release 8r.
Some of the I/O cables from the existing system may b e too short to reach from
the Release 8r cabinet to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). If so, the c ables
must be replaced as part of the upgrad e process.
