IBM ValuePoint - Matrox VLB video adapter problem

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint Performance Series systems may exhibit a symptom of no video, parity errors or system halted errors with a Matrox VLB Video adapter installed.

Problem Isolation Aids:
PS/ValuePoint Performance Series systems using an OEM video adapter instead of the on board S3 864 video chipset, should have the Enable/Disable jumper located on the left side of the board to the rear of the memory SIMM sockets, in the "Disable" position.

Move the Enable/Disable jumper to the "Enable" position and retest for video. If the system does display video, this tip applies.

Fix:
Relocate the video ROM address for the Matrox VLB card to the "AC00" memory region.
