Installing Tru64/v5.1B On an ES47 Alpha Server

Hello Tru Gurus,

The company that I work for recently purchased a used
ES47 Server and I need to install the O.S/V5.1B
w/Firmware v6.6.x..

FYI:
My issue is that besides not having ES47 Manuals I'm
getting stock when I boot to the OS CD(i.e boot dqa0)
which is the CDROM Device on the console level. I
tried 2 different O.S CD's and both of the hang right
at the same spot... This is the last lines just before
the O.S installation hangs:

------------------------------------------------------
initiating machine state
setting affinity to primary CPU
jumping to boot strap code
-----------------------------------------

The above 3 lines are the last lines I get and that
it..

Is there something I need to do to the server/firmware
setting or anything special in order to install the
basic O.S/v5.1B?

Any advise, suggestions, ideas?

Thanks in advance.
