2. System Prerequisites

Your system must meet some hardware and software prerequisites to support the
HCRX/VME graphics options. These prerequisites are described in the following
sections.

Hardware Prerequisites

The required hardware is as follows:
One of the following color monitors.
– A4032A or A4330D
– A4033A or A4331D
Adapter Cable A4304A
A minimum of 32-MB RAM if running HP-UX version 10.20, or
a minimum of 16-MB RAM if running HP-UX version 9.x, or
a minimum of 24–MB RAM if running HP–RT

Firmware Prerequisites

The required firmware is as follows:
A Model 743 Single Board Computer (SBC) may require a firmware upgrade if the
Boot ROM included in this kit is a later version than the one in use on your SBC.
To determine if the Boot ROM of your SBC needs to be replaced, you need to
determine the revision number, which can be done in one of two ways: use the Boot
Console Handler (BCH) interface as described in the Model 743 Owner's Guide, or
you can examine the label on the Boot ROM – a revision number is printed on the
label. If the revision number on the Boot ROM installed on the Model 743 is a lower
number than the one included in this kit, you should replace the Boot ROM with the
one included in this kit. If the revision number on the Boot ROM installed on the
Model 743 is equal to or greater than the one included in this kit, DO NOT replace
the Boot ROM on the Model 743.
A Model 744 Single Board Computer (SBC) does not require a firmware upgrade
