IBM PC365 - System hang using PCMCIA adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM PC 365 Series 6589 systems may exhibit a system hang condition when using the IBM ISA 4 slot or PCI 2 slot PCMCIA Adapter cards. The system hang occurs on bootup and may clear itself after approximately 30 seconds.

Problem Isolation Aids :
If system activity resumes after the 30 seconds of system inactivity, which may be perceived as a system hang condition, the card and the installed PCMCIA adapter(s) should function normally.

Fix :
The 4 slot IBM ISA PCMCIA adapter and the 2 slot IBM PCI PCMCIA adapter cards are not supported in the PC 365 Series systems. Customers using these adapters and experiencing failures should be directed back to their point of purchase.
