Hello Admin Wizards, I recently obtained a DEC Alpha 8200 system in good condition. I plan to use this machine despite it is outdated as a backup server, using True64 and rsync. Now I have two questions. a) Are there any caveats against installing true64 4.0g (I think this is the ultimate version that will run on the firmware this machine accepts), or does anyone have hints on this from his/her experience? b) The only drawback is: the system had to be dismatled for transport, and now I am left here with the single components - two 170 cm racks and lots of units (cpu, mem, i/o, disk shelves etc.) Since only the "Alpha Server 8200/8400 Operations Manual" was included, I wonder whether or not there is something like an "Alpha Server 8200 Assembling manual" somewhere around, preferably as a pdf... would be grateful for a hint. Hardware: 1x 8200-5/300 1x SW 800-FB Raidshelf thanks a lot. YS, CW
