IBM PC730/PC750 - ATI Graphics Pro Turbo adapter fails

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
The ATI GRAPHICS PRO TURBO PCI video adapter installed in a PC 700 Series Micro Channel 6876 or 6886 system will cause corrupted video during POST or hang the system with a "Starting ATI BIOS" message.

Problem Isolation Guidance:
This failure ONLY affects the PCI version of the ATI GRAPHICS PRO TURBO adapter installed in a PC 700 system with a Micro Channel riser card. This includes all 6876 and 6886 systems, and 6875 and 6885 systems that have the Select-A-Bus option installed. The Select-A-Bus option converts an ISA/PCI system to Micro Channel/PCI.

Fix:
The ATI GRAPHICS PRO TURBO PCI video adapter is incompatible with the I/O address mapping scheme in PC 700 Series Micro Channel systems. Customers that have purchased the ATI GRAPHICS PRO TURBO PCI video adapter for a PC 700 Micro Channel system should be directed back to their point of purchase.

GRAPHICS PRO TURBO is a trademark of ATI Technologies Inc.
