Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
The PS/ValuePoint Performance Series systems 6472, 6482, 6484, 6492, and 6494 with more than 16mb of system memory installed may experience any of the following problems.
1. The IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter II or other busmaster adapter may fail to be recognized by the software, or fail to connect to the LAN.
2. OS/2 returns a "SYS 3175" or other SYS messages when installing application software from diskette.
3. OS/2 returns a "TRAP 02" message when starting Communication Manager.
4. Windows NT returns a "SYS 3175" or other SYS message when installing application software from diskette.
5. Unix returns a "Critical SYS Error" when installing application software from diskette.
This tip applies if both of the following conditions are met :-
1. The failure can be eliminated by reducing the system memory to 16MB or less.
2. The failure can be eliminated by disabling the L2 cache.
