Server 95 / 500 - Diagnostic error with 851x monitor attached

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom
While looping video diagnostics on the Server 500 (8641), the system halts with the following error code:
02610950 Note: this is not a valid error code (spurious).
If the keyboard "Enter" key is depressed the system may hang.

Problem Isolation Aids
1. The monitor attached to the system is an 851X (8515, etc.).
2. The system error log contains no information related to this error.

Fix
851X Monitors will work, but will experience the error code referenced above if the diagnostics are looped long enough. The diagnostic error does not indicate defective hardware, therefore no parts should be replaced. No further action is planned. The 8641 is shipped from IBM with an SVGA video adapter installed. 951X monitors, which require XGA-2 graphics adapters, are not supported on the basic system configuration as shipped from IBM. This problem does not exist with monitors which use multi-scan technology such as the 9527 (952X monitors).
