Server 95 - Fast/Wide SCSI-2 Adapter configuration conflict

Applicable to: AP-S, Canada, LA, United States

Source: RETAIN tip H021000

Abstract: Fast/Wide SCSI-2 Adapter configuration conflict

TEXT:
A configuration conflict may occur when upgrading a SCSI adapter w/cache (FRU P/N85F0000*), with a SCSI-2 FAST/WIDE adapter on Type 3 8595/9595 systems. After this change, fixed disks greater than 1 GB will no longer be recognized.

The only systems known to be affected are 8595/9595 model OMT, (80486 50 Mhz processor, FRU P/N57F1597*) which uses the Type 3 Reference Diskette with a hardfile greater than 1GB installed.

8595 and 9595 systems, which use the Type 1,2 or 4 IML Diskette and other PS/2 systems are not affected.

A self executing software fix is now available from the National Support Center by calling 1-800-772-2227 and requesting the Server Support Group.

* FRU P/N85F0000 will automatically substitute to P/N85F0063 and FRU P/N57F1597 will automatically substitute to P/N82G2484.
