IBM PS/2 - Wizard adapter data integrity
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
Affected Wizard adapters may fail during operation, resulting in possible undetected data modification when the adapter writes to system memory as a Busmaster.
Problem Isolation:
Not all IBM Wizard adapters are affected. Inspect systems with the adapter installed and replace any adapter meeting the criteria below. Affected Wizard adapters can be identified by a printed level number, located on each card. View the adapter with the component side up, and the "INTEL I860" chip on the left side of the card. The level number of the adapter is printed on a white label located to the left side of the INTEL I860 chip
Fix:
Any Wizard adapter with a level number PBA600391-004 orPBA600391-005 should be replaced.
Replacement Wizard adapter : FRU P/N88F0063 Adapter Levels PBA600391-006 and higher are not susceptible to the data modification problem, and should not be replaced. If the wizard memory expansion option is installed on the wizard adapter, it does not need to be replaced and may be transferred to the new adapter.
