IBM PS/2 - 286 advanced diagnostics testing fails on serial/parallel cards

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
Due to hardware limitations of the 8530 286 and advanced diagnostics for the serial/parallel adapter card, FRU P/N8286147, only one adapter can be tested at a time. If an 8530 286 has two serial/parallel cards, remove one of the cards and test the system. Repeat for the second card.
For testing only, the adapter must be jumpered as follows :-
1. J1 (Serial) - The top terminals must be jumpered (Alternate).
2. J2 (Parallel) - The bottom terminals must be jumpered (primary).

Reset jumpers to original positions when testing is complete.
