IBM PC330/PC350 - '2RPL Halted' error w/IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet

Applicable to: World-Wide

Problem :
IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 may exhibit an "RPL Halted" error message at the beginning of the RIPL operation, immediately following the POST test beep when using the IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet.

Problem Isolation Aids :
Configure the adapter to perform the RIPL function, then configure the System Setup Startup Options to start the system from the network instead of the floppy drive or hardfile. When the system is restarted, the "RPL Halted" message appears after POST.

Solution :
Do not replace hardware. Verify that the network, system, and adapter configurations are correct.
Obtain the 2.3 EPROM update for the IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet. Reference the failure symptom and this tip number.
