PCServer720 - Hangs with ServeRAID and PCI Token Ring

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract
Server 720 Hangs with SERVERAID and PCI Token Ring

Symptom
The PC Server 720 (8642) traps or hangs without any error messages.

Problem Isolation Aids
The system is a PC Server 720 (8642) with a ServeRAID adapter FRU p/n 06H9334, FRU p/n 76H3574, or FRU p/n 76H6875 (Option p/n 70G8489) AND / OR a Token Ring adapter FRU p/n 41H8874 (Option p/n 41H8900 or p/n 75H9800) installed.

Fix
1. Verify that the Server 720 BIOS is at level 08 or higher.
2. Inspect the Bridge card. If FRU p/n 71G0694 is installed, replace it with FRU p/n 76H7134.

Note: Only replace the Bridge card if the Server 720 is configured with the ServeRAID adapter AND / OR the PCI Token Ring Adapter mentioned above.

If the failure persists, continue normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failing application or FRU.

The Bridge card FRU p/n 71G0694 has been cleared from stock.
