PC Server 310 - Hangs with Intel Etherexpress Adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
Server 310 hangs with Intel EtherExpress Adapter

Symptom :
Upon booting the Server 310 (8639) and after loading the Adaptec SCSI BIOS, the system hangs with the following error message: 110 F000:D81D

Problem Isolation Aids :
The Server is an 8639-0EV with an Intel EtherExpress PCI PRO/100 Smart Adapter (P/N PILA8485) AND an Adaptec UltraSCSI Adapter FRU p/n 60H7823.

Fix :
Move the Adaptec UltraSCSI Adapter to PCI slot 3 and install the Intel EtherExpress Adapter in PCI slot 1 or 2.

The PCI Hold Time on the EtherExpress Adapter is not within the PCI specification. Moving the adapter closer to the planar reduces the delay to the PCI bus.
