IBM PC Server/IBM PS/2 - New ADF files for FDDI and Token Ring adapters

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
Data streaming failures may be experienced during operation on 8590 and 8595 and 9595 systems with the 50MHZ processor (models 0MT) and either an FDDI Optical Interface Adapter/A or a Token Ring 16/4 Bus Master Adapter/A installed. (The failure to "data stream" may not be noticeable).

In addition to the data steaming failures, diagnostic failures (hangs) may also be experienced on the FDD Adapter/A, However POST (Power-On System Test) and configuration do not fail. An Option Update Diskette (version 1.10) containing new adapter configuration files that enable the data streaming feature has been released. The update diskette will also correct the FDDI adapter diagnostic problems encountered with the 50MHZ (model 0MT) 8595/9595.

The update diskette may be available part number 60G9458. The update diskette is self booting and self installing and comes with instructions.
The FDDI Adapter/A is FRU P/N93F0377, OPT P/N93F0345
The Token Ring 16/4 Bus Master Adapter/A is FRU P/N74F4149.
