Since Western RV is closed, the only source would be an owner of an Alpenlite of a model in your year vicinity. Alpenlite's manual contained all kinds of stuff, including wiring diagrams, etc.
There used to be an owners club sponsored by Western. Please know we are truly committed to your ultimate satisfaction. I purchased a Alpenlite Laramie I was wondering if anybody knew of a place to go online and download a owners manual or service manual. Forgot password or user name? Forum Rules and Etiquette Our mission This forum is part of our mission to promote the preservation of vintage computers through education and outreach.
In real life we also run events and have a museum. We encourage you to join us, participate, share your knowledge, and enjoy. This forum has been around in this format for over 15 years. These rules and guidelines help us maintain a healthy and active community, and we moderate the forum to keep things on track. Please familiarize yourself with these rules and guidelines. Rule 1: Remain civil and respectful There are several hundred people who actively participate here.
People come from all different backgrounds and will have different ways of seeing things. You will not agree with everything you read here. Back-and-forth discussions are fine but do not cross the line into rude or disrespectful behavior. Conduct yourself as you would at any other place where people come together in person to discuss their hobby. If you wouldn't say something to somebody in person, then you probably should not be writing it here.
This should be obvious but, just in case: profanity, threats, slurs against any group sexual, racial, gender, etc. Rule 2: Stay close to the original topic being discussed If you are starting a new thread choose a reasonable sub-forum to start your thread. If you choose incorrectly don't worry, we can fix that. If you are responding to a thread, stay on topic - the original poster was trying to achieve something. You can always start a new thread instead of potentially "hijacking" an existing thread.
Rule 3: Contribute something meaningful To put things in engineering terms, we value a high signal to noise ratio. Coming here should not be a waste of time. This is not a chat room. If you are taking less than 30 seconds to make a post then you are probably doing something wrong. A post should be on topic, clear, and contribute something meaningful to the discussion. If people read your posts and feel that their time as been wasted, they will stop reading your posts.
Worse yet, they will stop visiting and we'll lose their experience and contributions. Do not bump threads. Do not "necro-post" unless you are following up to a specific person on a specific thread. Ensure that the number of adapters are within limits for the system, and that the placement is acceptable.
Section 1. One end of the BN38C cable is pin high density. Section 2. This discussion assumes such a configuration. Plan accordingly if you wish to cable the cluster otherwise. To obtain the release notes for the firmware update: 1. Log in as root. Copy the appropriate release notes to your system disk. Print the release notes.

The HAL creates a software layer on top of the hardware to "virtualize" the functionality of the hardware components.
No conversion or sources are needed, and you boot your HP Alpha system as usual. We tested with the original HP Alpha hardware diagnostics to verify compatibility. What you obtain is an HP Alpha, typically running at comparable speed and with a significantly smaller footprint, a reduction in cost of maintenance and energy consumption.
Each product has its optimal host platform to get the best HP Alpha system performance. Ask Stromasys or one of its Resellers for configuration details for your specific system requirements.
Solutions are provided to transfer the contents of the existing HP Alpha system and user disks, avoiding a complete system re-installation in most cases. Windows NT and Linux are not supported. With this technology, it is possible to replace large DEC Alpha data centers with a single rack of modern servers. To avoid adding unnecessary complexity, the virtual components do not include diagnostic logic that was not used in normal hardware operation.
Wherever possible without compromising compatibility, the virtual devices were 'redesigned' to avoid hardware limitations.
For example, some virtual HP Alphas support a total emulated memory of up to GB, despite restrictions of particular hardware models. Since the performance of a virtual HP Alpha depends on the host system hardware, its components operate at a different speed compared to the equivalent HP Alpha hardware. This is similar to moving a HP Alpha operating system and its applications to a HP Alpha with faster hardware components. The HP Alpha operating system will schedule the various application requests as before and applications will simply complete faster.
Virtual real-time components, for instance the HP Alpha system clock, receive the correct timing interrupts and will operate as expected, provided the host system meets the specified minimum system requirements. Every effort has been made to handle unusual HP Alpha coding sequences correctly. Other limits are 'soft' and invoke a performance reduction 'safe mode' as described in this manual below.
Host operating system requirements 3. Common requirements 3. Thus, the number of extra CPU cores required depends on the particular configuration and operation conditions. For details, see the HP Alpha memory size specification 3.
HP Alpha disks can be in the form of physical disks locally or on an external storage subsystem or as HP Alpha disk images, which appear as standard files. When HP Alpha disk images are used to represent HP Alpha disk drives, the disk image files have the same size as the equivalent HP Alpha disk hardware, regardless of their degree of utilization When physical disks are used for the virtual Alpha, these disks are connected as SCSI devices to the host platform locally, via FibreChannel or iSCSI , regardless of the disk architecture configured in the HP Alpha environment.
These physical disks are formatted by the HP Alpha operating system and cannot be used by the host system. Linux specific requirements 3. Most modern adapters support necessary functionality. It is absolutely necessary to remove all the IP-setup related parameters. Example 3. To avoid it please use "ethtool" utility to switch off all the offload parameters a particular network adapter provides. A first step is to find out what additional paramaters are currently set to "on" on the host network adapter to be used for CHARON.
Please refer to your Linux documentation on how to do that, since this procedure may vary from one version to another one. Please also refer to ethtool manual for more details. In this case please use "setcap" utility to assign required additional rights. Key disconnection causes termination of operation within a few minutes. Note that a quick reconnection of the key might not cancel termination.
Where possible without compromising reliability, virtual peripherals are 'mapped' to the local hardware. For example, Ethernet adapters which cannot change their MAC address without a power cycle and some classes of peripherals connected to the host system via USB or Firewire connections.
General performance considerations The configurations referred to earlier in this chapter was the target systems used for best performance during product design. The functionality of the HP Alpha virtualization layer is the same in essence an accurate model of the corresponding HP Alpha system for every host platform that meets the minimum requirements. Since each of Virtual HP Alpha components puts its own requirements on the host system, it is important to look at your specific requirements before deciding what type of host system to use.
Above 2 GHz host CPU frequency, the memory bandwidth and latency becomes an important virtualization layer performance factor in the current host CPU architecture.
Important parameters are host cache memory size the larger the better and host memory latency the lower the better. The multiple CPU emulation processes that can run in the virtualization layer require a significant amount of host system memory, as specified earlier in this chapter.
If less host memory is momentarily available for example, because another application has started on the same host system , the CPU emulation process becomes less effective and can shut down completely, reducing performance. Network connections On a high performance host platform Virtual HP ALPHA Ethernet adapter operates approximately the same speed 1 Gbps as counterpart, but it will not always reach the full 1 Gbps throughput of modern adapters.
The use of multiple adapters will not necessary increase aggregate throughput beyond that of a single 1 Gbps host adapter.
Dropping incoming packets due to temporary overload is acceptable this happens on hardware HP Alpha systems as well if the communications protocol can retransmit lost packets in time. For sensitive protocols, i. Enhancing virtualization layer reliability CHARON-AXP executes a number of interrelated processes; each needs sufficient host system performance to provide a stable system. If an installed executable is started on a system below that frequency, execution will terminate. Note that laptop or desktop systems in low power mode often reduce the clock frequency of their CPU s below their rated speed.
Disable this through the power management control panel. Below a critical size, the virtualization layer shuts down, dependent on the model being virtualized.
