IBM ValuePoint - False 198 errors when running diagnostics

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint 6381/Si 433DX and 466DX2 models may experience false 198 errors when running advanced diagnostics.

Problem Isolation Aids:
198 errors may be seen when running the advanced diagnostic routine on the 'System Unit'. The type 3 advanced diagnostic Vers.1.00 and 1.01 diskettes, which are created using the 'Diskette Factory' that is preloaded on 6381/Si systems, is the only version affected. Not all systems using this version diskette will display the false error. There is no effect on customer applications or system performance as a result of the 198 errors. If the system exhibits no other operational problems, the error should be considered false, and no parts should be replaced.

Fix:
An updated version of the 6381/Si advanced diagnostic has been released that does not exhibit this failure. The version is 1.02.
