To provide support for the 5300a with 5.1a you need the minimum of HWD kit 7
for 5.1a which also contains anumber of patches for other applications. You
can get this from most HP tru64 patch sites under the NHD directory and if
you have BCS or Software support you can also request a copy of the NHD.
