We did an upgrade from a 620 to a 2 way 720, also
adding 100 GB more DASD. We had the following
problems:

- the upgrade went bad for two week-ends, CPU wise,
having a SRC code as soon as the new cards were
installed. To keep production alive, old CPU was used
for two weeks.

- the third weekend Rochester itself visited us and
solved the problem, related to a cable from the
original frame to the disk extension unit, not
compatible with the new CPUs.

The rest was OK, including a smooth prior upgrade to
V4R3.
