Applicable to: World-Wide

SYMPTOM:
The PC Server 704 Models 8650-4BW, 7AX, and 4M0 trap or hang under heavy workload with PCI Bridge to Bridge Adapters installed.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
The IBM Triple LanStreamer adapter (Option p/n 25H6304, FRU p/n 25H6305) and the Adaptec 3940W and 3940UW are examples of PCI bridge to bridge adapters. Diagnostics run without error.

Remove any bridge adapters as they are NOT supported in the models 8650-4BW, 7AX, and 4M0.

Note:
PCI bridge to bridge adapters are supported in models 8650-5M0 and 8650-6MM. Refer to the following PC Server Compatibility WEB page for compatibility information:
