IBM PC730/PC750 - No video with Micro Channel video adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
A Micro Channel video adapter fails to function when installed in a PC700 model 6876 or 6886.

Problem Isolation Aids:
System board video functions correctly.

Fix:
Some Micro Channel video adapters will not be enabled unless an auxiliary-video extension cable is installed. This cable is a 26-pin ribbon cable and installs between the riser card auxiliary-video extension connector and the system board VESA Passthrough Connector (J25).
This cable is not included with the system. The customer should order Auxiliary Video Extension Cable option p/n06H6727. If the problem persists, continue with normal problem determination.
