Alpha Systems Firmware Quarterly Update Kit

The Alpha Systems Firmware Update Kit ships on a CD-ROM. For
ordering information please reference the Release Notes Overview booklet
included in the firmware CD kit.

All the binary update images and release notes for the AlphaServer
4100 platform will be released in the [AS4X00], [OPTIONS], and [DOC]
directories of the Alpha Systems Firmware Update V6.0 CD-ROM.

Accessing Firmware Over the Internet

Many customers rely upon the Customer Firmware Kit quarterly update
service (includes Alpha Firmware Update CD-ROM) for their firmware
updates. Firmware updates can also be obtained via the Internet, at the
following address:

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/readme.html

Using a World Wide Web browser, use the following URLs:

http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/readme.html
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v6.0/as4x00
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v6.0/options
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/v6.0/doc

The Web pages are organized for the CD release for each platform. There
are directories for each AlphaServer platform as well as a common options
area for I/O option firmware. In addition, a /interim page is maintained
for products such as the AlphaServer 4100 which ship between Alpha
Firmware CD releases. Watch for firmware updates in the /interim/as4x00
directory as well as future CD-ROM releases.

Console firmware update images and associated files are located in the
/as4x00 directory. I/O option firmware files are accessible via the /options
directory. Release notes are accessible via the /doc directory.
