IBM ValuePoint - Serial ports mislabeled on 6381/Si

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
A limited number of 6381/Si systems were shipped to the field with Serial Ports labeled improperly.
The incorrect labelling of the Serial Ports is as follows :-

KYBD MOUSE SERIAL A SERIAL B PARALLEL DISPLAY PORT

The label indicates that Serial Port "A" is positioned next to the mouse port and serial port "B" is positioned next to the parallel port. This is not correct.

The correct labelling of the Serial Ports is as follows :-

KYBD MOUSE SERIAL B SERIAL A PARALLEL DISPLAY PORT

The PS/ValuePoint HMM dated September 1993, pages 74 and 76 also shows the serial port positions incorrectly. Pages 75 and 77 of the same HMM, under the system board location number and name listings, show the serial ports in their proper location.

Problem Isolation Aids:
None.

Fix:
The errors in the PS/ValuePoint HMM (September, 1993) have been corrected in the latest revision.
