IBM PS/2 - 320/400MB hard disks not supported in 8556, 9556 and 9576

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
The 320MB and 400MB hard disk options are not supported in the 8556, 9556 or the 9576. Mounting the drives on these systems may cause thermal or electrical harddisk failures (the drive electronics can touch the system frame).

Marketing literature is currently under review, and will be updated to reflect correct option information. The 320MB and 400MB harddisk options are supported in the 8557, 9557 and 9577. The 8557 model 05F, and 9577 model OUF and ONF, are manufactured with the harddisk in bay 4C(upper right). These models utilise an air baffle to prevent the harddisk from overheating. This air baffle is not part of the 320MB or 400MB option lit. The air baffle is not required if the above harddisks are mounted in any bay other than 4C.
