IBM ValuePoint - Diagnostics 189 error with 486 DX4 Overdrive upgrade

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
After installing an Intel 80486 DX4 Overdrive microprocessor in a ValuePoint 6382/S, 6384/D, or 6387/T, the following messages are observed:
1. Advanced Diagnostics returns a 189 error when running system board tests.
2. The System Configuration Utility detects the internal cache size as 8Kb instead of 16Kb.

Problem Isolation Aids:
None.

Fix:
The system Configuration Utility and Advanced Diagnostics do not support internal cache sizes greater than 8Kb, therefore the above responses should not be considered as indications of a defect.

The IBM Personal Computer Company has not tested Intel DX4 processors in these models. If functional problems are exhibited remove the DX4 and install the original SX, DX or DX2. If the problems do not occur with the original processor installed, refer the customer to the point of purchase of the DX4 or Intel technical support. If the problems can be reproduced with an SX, DX, or DX2 installed, continue with normal problem determination.

Note:
Insure the two processor upgrade jumpers are installed on the correct pins for the type processor installed. Jumper information is available in the Installing Options booklet provided with each system and tip H124005. Intel is a Trademark of Intel Corporation.
