Physical check:
An intermittent FDD READ / WRITE / FORMAT ERROR can occur when certain external floppy diskette drives FRU P/N10H4056 are connected to 2640 560E or 560X systems through a Port Replicator FRU P/N46H4107 or FRU P/N 05K4645.
Only external FDD drives with a bar code header code of K1SS2 are affected and qualify for replacement under this ECA.
Prerequisites: NONE
Companion: NONE
Concurrent: NONE
Detail: Intermittent READ / WRITE / FORMAT errors may occur when using the external FDD unit FRU P/N10H4056 described in the Physical Check section with a Port Replicator FRU P/N46H4107 or FRU P/N05K4645.
To correct this intermittent failure, replace the external FDD. Use the same FRU part number FDD. All FDD FRU stock has been purged of defective units.
