PCServer720 - Artic 960 Diagnostic Incompatible

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom
Diagnostics for the Artic960 Adapter/A can not be run. After updating the Reference and Diagnostic diskettes by using the "Copy an Option" function, the Artic960 adapter diagnostic does not appear in the "List of installed devices" when the diagnostics are invoked.

Problem Isolation Aids
Only the IBM Server 720 with the IBM Artic960 micro channel adapter/A, Option part numbers 61G2925 and 61G2922, with Startup/Option diskettes 61G2424 and 39H807E8 (version 1.04 and lower) are affected. This is a diagnostic failure only. The Artic960 adapter is otherwise functional with the Server 720. A firmware incompatibility exists between the IBM PC Server 720 and the IBM Artic960 Micro channel Adapter Startup/Option Diskette. This incompatibility prevents the Artic960 adapter from appearing in the diagnostic "List of installed devices," when running the Server 720 diagnostics.

Fix
Version 1.05 of the ARTIC960 Adapter/A Startup/Option Diskette corrects this problem.
