540MB Hard Drives - 540/528 patch fails (EMEA Only)

Applicable to: EMEA

Service Information:
The "540to528" patch that changes the capacity of a 540Mb hardfile to 528Mb, for applications that cannot access hardfiles greater than 1024 cylinders, does not work on 540Mb IBM brand hardfiles, FRU P/N 82G5928 (DALA-3540 can be ordered as an Option. For a single drive the Option P/N is 06H7141 and for a bulk pack of 20 it is 06H7142) and FRU P/N 06H6110. The IBM brand hardfile, which can be identified by the following markings on the drive label, has a jumper on the file control card that is moved to convert the drive from 540Mb to 528Mb:
