  OpenVMS version for Personal Workstation -au? 
 The Question is:
 
We bought a Digital Personal Workstation
a/au series ALPHA 433MHz and it came with
an factory install of VMS 7.1-1H2, but no media.
 
I tried to re-install VMS using our VMS distribution CD with the VMS
binaries.
However it is for 7.1, not 7.1-1Hx.
 
When I try to boot from the CD (&gt;&gt;&gt;b dka400)  it starts to work then it
fails
&gt; With the error:
&gt; %sysboot-I-FileNOTLOC unable to locate sys$cpu_routines_1e05.exe
&gt; %sysboot-E-LDFAIL failed to locate execlet, status=0000910
&gt;
By the way, I can see that file when I boot the factory installation and
access the CD.
 
Do I need a 7.1.1H2 VMS CD to re-install VMS?
Is there something I am missing or I can do
to get the 7.1 install to work and then upgrade to H2?
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  The required OpenVMS Alpha version for the Personal Workstation -au
  series is OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-1H1.  The Personal Workstation systems
  are not supported prior to the V7.1-1H1 release.
 
  The necessary CD-ROM for V7.1-1H2 -- V7.1-1H2 is a proper superset of
  the V7.1-1H1 release as discussed elsewhere in Ask The Wizard, and
  does support the Personal Workstation -au series -- is available under
  the part number QA-MT1AD-H8.
 
  The error status for the executive loadable image (execlet) load error
  for the processor-specific routines for this system translates to:
 
    $ exit %x910
    %SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
    $
 
  SCSI CD-ROM drives do not require any additional kit.  Support for the
  IDE CD-ROM drive present on some members of the Personal Workstation
  -au series will typically require an available additional kit.
 
  Also visit the http://search.service.digital.com/ area and locate the
  recommended and mandatory ECO kits for OpenVMS V7.1-1H2 -- if that is
  the release you load -- and any ECO kits specifically for support of
  OpenVMS on the Personal Workstation -au series hardware.
