Have a look at the attached file.
Unfortunately your E30 cannot be upgraded to AIX5.2

Hi All,
Does anyone have a link to a site to indicate what machines are/aren't
supported by AIX 5.2?
I've got a 7024 E30 so I'd like to check it's upgradeability.

Actually, AIX 5.1 runs on all RS/6000 platforms. AIX 5.2 which was just
released no longer supports MCA (many older machines 3xx, 5XX, JXX)
