IBM IntelliStation Z Pro - System hang viewing port settings
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 systems may exhibit a system hang condition when viewing the COM port settings via the Windows NT v3.51 Control Panel with an STB DSP-550 communication adapter installed.
Problem Isolation Aids :
Performing the following steps in Windows NT v3.51 may cause a system hang with an STB DSP-550 adapter installed:
1) Select Control Panel
2) Select Ports
3) Four COM (1-4) ports should be displayed.
4) Highlight COM1
5) Select Settings - system hang occurs
If the DSP-550 adapter is removed or the COM ports are disabled via the Setup Utility, the failure does not occur.
The failure does not occur using Windows NT v4.0.
Fix :
Windows NT v3.51 and the STB DSP-550 adapter are an incompatible combination in the IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899. Upgrading to
Windows NT v4.0 will allow this combination to function properly.
Contact Microsoft Windows NT Technical Support or STB for additional information.
