PS/2 8590 / Server 95 - False SCSI errors and OS/2 trap 000E errors
Applicable to: AP-S, Canada, LA, United States
Source: RETAIN tip H036627
Abstract:
False SCSI errors and OS/2 trap 000E errors.
On 8590 and 8595 systems with 25MHz 486SX processors installed, two known error conditions may occur with the following configuration:
A. 486SX-25MHz processor card (FRU P/N92F0079, Submodel codes 57 and 59 on 8590; 58 and 5A on 8595) *
B. 16 bit SCSI adapter without cache (FRU P/N85F0002)
(The standard configuration is with a 32-bit cached SCSI adapter.)
C. Greater than 16MB of system memory installed.
D. Reference diskette (Type 2) later than Version 1.00.
* Note: 25MHz 486DX processor models (Submodel codes 11, 14, FRU P/N64F0201) are not affected with the following limitation.
False SCSI diagnostic errors may be experienced when running diagnostics with reference diskette (system partition)
version later than 1.00 (Type 2 diskette). Depress the F1 key to bypass the false error (011270X3) if you desire to
continue. (Note: X = Micro Channel slot in which the SCSI adapter is installed.)
Trap error 000E (page fault) may also be experienced with this configuration when running OS/2 Version 2.00. This symptom cannot be bypassed with the above configuration.
Removal of system memory above 16MHz, or removal of the non-cached SCSI adapter will permit normal operation.
The standard configuration for 8590 and 8595 systems includes a cached 32-bit SCSI adapter, which does not exhibit this
limitation.
The limitation with the 16-bit non-cached SCSI adapter was stated in Ivory Letter # 191194, dated 10/17/91, at the time of general availability of the 8590 and 8595 systems, therefore no further action is planned.
