PC Server 300 - EISA slot 6 configuration problem
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
EISA slot 6 can not be configured. When the configuration is viewed, it is seen as "OTHER". The other adapter slots are correctly shown as EISA slots.
Problem Isolation Aids:
a. The EISA Configuration diskette is version 1.00.
b. The system has a Pentium processor board installed.
Fix:
The following procedure will correct this problem:
1. Insert the EISA CONFIGURATION DISKETTE in the diskette drive
2. Type a DIR command (directory listing).
3. Look for a file named, "!MIC0005.CFG 7444 3-25-94 3:15PM".This is the Pentium system board configuration file.
4. Then, print out the file or use the "TYPE" command, either:
a. TYPE !MIC0005.CFG | MORE (for OS/2)
b. TYPE !MIC0005.CFG /P (for DOS).
This will allow you to view the text in the file. On the 1st page there is a list of the EISA slots, continued on page 2. If EISA slot 6 appears as follows:
SLOT(6) = OTHER(6)
LENGTH = 341
BUSMASTER = YES
It is incorrect.
5. Use an editor to correct the typographical error so slot.
6. Appears the same as the other EISA slots, as follows:
SLOT(6) = EISA(6)
LENGTH = 341
BUSMASTER = YES
The 486DX/2 system board uses the following file: "!MIC0004.CFG 5628 3-25-94 3:15PM". It is correct and may be used for a comparison.
