540MB IDE HardDrive - Jumper settings

Applicable to: World-Wide

The "540 to 528" patch that changes the capacity of a 540MB hardfile to 528MB for applications that cannot access hardfiles greater than 1024 cylinders, does not work on the 540MB IBM brand hardfile, P/N 06H7141 FRU NO 82G5928. The IBM brand hardfile, which can be identified by the following markings on the drive label, has a jumper on the file control card that is moved to convert the drive from 540MB to 528MB:

IBM Made in Thailand
P/N 85G3847
DALA-3540
Capacity 540mb (527mb)
1049 Cylinders
FRU P/N 82G5928
MLC D61625

The following error is received when the "540to528" is run on the IBM brand drive:
"Drive 0 is IBM-DALA-3540, fail:reading page config 13."
"Hard disk 1: This HDD is not Satsuma".
