IBM PS/2 - 8570 upgrade planar 006 error/memory requirements

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
A 006 error occurs after adding memory to an 8570 with either of the following system board upgrades installed:
- 486DX 33MHz, Option P/N70G8988
- 486BL2 66MHz, Option P/N32G3300

Problem Isolation Aids
The 8570 upgrade only supports 4MB and 16MB Industry Standard Memory Simms. Memory transferred from the previously installed system board will not function on the upgrade boards.

Fix:
Remove any non Industry Standard memory that was installed on the upgrade system board. At this time IBM offers a 4MB Industry Standard Simm, Feature Code 7634, Option P/N92G7201 and a 16MB Industry Standard Simm, Feature Code 2011, Option P/N92G7204 or P/N60G1622. Memory must be identical in size and speed if using both memory SIMM sockets.

Note:
Marketing and User Documentation explain the memory requirements for these system board upgrades.
