IBM PC330/PC350 - System hang with Adaptec 3940 cards in slot 1 & 2
Applicable to: World-Wide
Problem :
IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 may exhibit a system hang condition after executing the POST test and loading the Adaptec BIOS code for an Adaptec AHA-3940 PCI Multichannel SCSI Host adapter.
Problem Isolation Aids :
The failure is due to having two Adaptec 3940 SCSI adapters in slots 1 & 2 (lower two slots) on the riser card. When this adapter is installed in pairs in slots 1 & 2, both cards are forced to use the same interrupt which creates a conflict.
Solution :
Placing the adapters in slots 1 & 3 or 2 & 3 will eliminate this failure.
