IBM PC330/PC350 - System hang with PCMCIA adapter
Applicable to: World-Wide
Problem :
IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 systems preloaded with Windows 95 may exhibit a system hang condition during IPL after installing an IBM Ethernet I or II PCMCIA adapter card.
Problem Isolation Aids :
This failure has only been reproduced using the IBM Ethernet I and II PCMCIA adapter cards. Other PCMCIA adapters may exhibit the same failure symptom.
Removing the adapter from the PCMCIA slot eliminates the system hang condition.
Solution :
To eliminate this failure, perform the following steps:
1. Click the right mouse button on "My Computer."
2. Go to Properties.
3. Click on Device Manager
4. Highlight PCMCIA adapter and click on Properties.
5. In Properties, DESELECT Original Configuration.
6. Reboot the system.
The system should recognize the adapter after rebooting. If the system continues to hang with the PCMCIA adapter installed, continue normal problem determination to isolate the failing FRU or application.
