PC Server 310/320/520 - EICON adapter fails
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
An EICON HSI/MC Communication adapter installed in an IBM SERVER Micro channel system causes a request for a diskette in drive A: on each reboot.
Problem Isolation Guidance:
After configuring the EICON HSI/MC Communication adapter using the Option Diskette shipped with the card, the system recognizes the adapter, however, when the system is rebooted, the Insert Diskette Icon appears on the screen. The only diskette that the system will accept at this point is the IBM Server Reference Diskette. Each reboot requires the Reference Diskette to be inserted unless the EICON adapter is removed.
Fix:
The "NumByte" parameter in the @6E6E.ADF and @6F6E.ADF files on the EICON Option Diskette should be set for 4 instead of 3. This can be done by using an editor to change the values.
EICON is a trademark of EICON Technologies.
