IBM ValuePoint - Adapter interrupt settings for 6381/Si
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
Failures experienced with adapters in the PS/ValuePoint 6381/SI may be caused by the interrupt setting used by the adapter.
Application error messages such as adapter not found, PC interrupt not generated, and adapter initialize failed, along with system hang conditions and intermittent operation of adapters are also symptoms of this problem. Communication adapters, such as Token Ring, 3270 and Ethernet adapters are especially susceptible to this type of failure.
Problem Isolation Aids:
None
Fix:
If an adapter is exhibiting symptoms similar to those stated above, change the adapter interrupt request to one of the following :-
-IRQ 2
-IRQ 9
-IRQ 10
-IRQ 11
The use of IRQ 3 for 16 Bit adapters in the 6381/SI may also cause the symptoms mentioned above.
Note:
If IRQ 2 or IRQ 9 is used, ensure the video interrupt enable jumper (J14 on DX & DX2 models and J23 on SX models) is set in the default position (rear 2 pins).
