IBM PS/2 - 174 Errors After Running Auto Configuration

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
After running automatic configuration for a 174 error on a 9576 or 9577, the system reboots and POSTs another 174 error. The POST message then instructs you to run automatic configuration again. This will occur after changing the harddisk SCSI ID to a lower ID. For example, 6 to 5, 5 to 4, etc.

Problem Isolation Aids:
This problem will only occur with reference diskette Version 1.00.

Fix:
When asked to run automatic configuration, a second time, answer no. Continue into 'Set Configuration' and 'Set and View SCSI devices'. Remove the unused SCSI ID and save this configuration. Your unit will now POST correctly without 174 errors. This problem will be fixed in the next release of IML code for the 9576 and 9577. The IML drive should always be set to SCSI ID6.
