IBM ValuePoint - Installation of 5.25 diskette drive option 32G3947

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
On a small number of early production 6384 systems there may be difficulties in installing the 5.25 diskette drive option P/N32G3947.
The problem is that the cable P/N52G8589 may have been fitted incorrectly. The cable is thus not long enough to reach the newly installed 5.25 diskette drive. This happens because the wrong berg connector has been connected to the system board. The berg connector in the middle of the cable is the connector that must be attached to the system board not the one at the end of the cable, (there is a label 'PLANAR' beside this end connector which has caused the problem. The cable is now changed). This connector at the end of the cable should have been connected to the 3.5 Diskette Drive. There is no problem until this option is being fitted.
