  • CSY is considering making the block/architecture diagrams available so that any other interested party (including OPENMPE) could view them.
  • HP was not sure if the CE manuals for the 9000 servers were available at present in electronic format but is still asking around. P. Edwards reported that manuals were available internally only. He also asking if there any progress on making manuals available to DSPP members. Could manuals for obsolete hardware (like 9x7) be made available?
