IBM ValuePoint - RPL problems with Token Ring 16/4 Adapter II

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
Due to problems with operation of RPL ( Remote Program Load ) changes have been made to the option 03F0236. The option P/N has been changed to 03F0273. Field stock in distribution has been recalled. The FRU P/N03F0212 is unchanged.

The difference to the option package is a new card assembly and new driver diskettes. New card assembly 03F0300 replaces 03F0216. This new P/N contains a new RPL module 03F0293 instead of 03F0228. To allow upgrade to the new level of module a FRU module P/N8125097 has been released and is available to order.

If RPL IS NOT being used either level of card assembly or RPL module can be utilised. If RPL is being used the module on the card must be 03F0293. IN ADDITION FOR RPL a new level of device drivers must be used.

These are:
DOS NDIS IBM16TR.DOS VERSION 2.00.00
OS/2 NDIS IBM16TR.OS2 VERSION 2.00.05
DOS ODI TOKENBM.COM VERSION 3.00

It is advised that if RPL is installed or about to be installed in a system which already has the IBM Token Ring Network 16/4 adapter installed at least one of the new options 03F0273 and the appropriate documentation package is obtained so that the latest information, drivers, etc. is available.
