Introduction

The AlphaStation 500 Series system contains two console subsystems:
•
Advanced RISC computing (ARC) firmware that supports the Windows NT operating
system
•
System reference manual (SRM) firmware that supports the Digital UNIX and
OpenVMS operating systems
The console firmware resides in 1MB of flashROM on the system board. FlashROM
memory can be updated in the field.
This appendix gives a basic description of commands for each console.
