Netfinity3500 - Onboard ethernet controller RIPL does not abort
Applicable to: World-Wide
Onboard Ethernet Controller RIPL Does Not Abort
Symptom:
Pressing the <HOME> key to "Abort RIPL" (Remote Initial Program Load), does not abort the RIPL.
Problem Isolation Aids:
- The system is an IBM Netfinity 3500 (8644-1xx/2xx/3xx)
- The Onboard Ethernet Controller is NOT connected to the LAN, or the connection is faulty.
Fix:
Connect the Onboard Ethernet Controller Port to the LAN.
If a there is a good LAN connection, the "Abort RIPL" works and the next device in the Startup Sequence is tried.
But if the cable is disconnected or faulty, the system waits indefinitely until a valid LAN connection is detected before continuing to RIPL.
