IBM PS/2 - Hard disk light does not work
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
The IDE hardfile activity light on a 9576 or 9577 fails to operate when an IBM or OEM IDE CD-ROM drive is installed and
the hardfile is accessed. This occurs under OS/2 and when the CD-ROM device drivers are installed.
Problem Isolation Aids:
The CD-ROM Drive and the IDE hardfile work properly.
The CD-ROM and IDE hardfile are installed in a 9576i, 9576s, 9577i or 9577s and is a model xUx, xNx,or xTx.
Fix:
The problem has been fixed with new CD-ROM device drivers on a new CD-ROM Option Diskette.
For copt please double-click here:
Customers should be advised to copy the files, IBM2IDE.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT from the diskette to the root directory
of the hardfile. Delete IBM2IDEJ.ADD, IBMIDEC.FLT and earlier copies of IBMIDECD.FLT. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and change the following lines:
BASEDEV=IBM2IDEJ.ADD change to: BASEDEV=IBM2IDE.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2IDEC.FLT change to: BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
If using the process identified above does not correct the problem, the servicer should use normal problem determination procedures to isolate the defect.
No parts should be replaced in an attempt to fix this problem.
