PS/2 859x / PS/2 959x / PC Server 500 - Reference diskette ID matrix

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
There are four types of 859x/959x reference diskettes (labeled 1,2,3 or 4). The processor board installed in the system determines which type reference diskette (set) to use. A reference diskette set consists of an IML diskette of the appropriate type and common diagnostic diskette (see note below).

The following methods may be used to identify the type of processor board installed and the reference diskette required:-
a. Display revision levels.Go to the system partition main menu and select 'Display Revision Levels' ('More Utilities' on later versions). Note the sub-model code displayed on the screen and refer to the chart below.
b. FRU Part Number.
Read the FRU part number on the processor board and refer to the chart below.
c. Upgrade Label.Check the system for an additional label next to the front serial number. If the system is upgraded with a different processor board, an upgrade label (marked P1-PE) is added.

Use the following matrix to identify which processor board is installed and which reference diskette is required :-

Also requires 487SX CoProcessor (FRU P/N92F0100).
Notes:
1. Some type 1 reference diskettes were produced with a small '1' in the upper right corner of the label. These diskettes are identical to the diskettes with a large '1'. Early type '1' diskettes did not have a number printed on the label (1.01, 1.02 & 1.03).
2. Common Diagnostic Diskette as of 05-05-95, the common diagnostic diskette version 2.32 is the current version. Earlier versions have known 'Bugs'. The 8641 server 500 uses the same system board as the 9595 and the 9595A (FRU P/N92F2623). However the cabinet is similar in external appearance only, to the 8640 server.
