IBM PC730 (Type 6877)/PC750 (Type 6887) - LANAID displays incorrect interrupt usage

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
The LANAID application, preloaded on IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 containing an IBM EtherJet Ethernet adapter may display incorrect interrupt (IRQ) status.

The LANAID application, which provides the configuration functions for the IBM EtherJet Ethernet adapter takes a one time snapshot of active and inactive interrupt status. The status may be invalid if the IRQ is in use but not active, or if the IRQ is not in use but left active. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility to get an accurate status of IRQ's available to adapters and that are not in use by the system. The Configuration/Setup Utility can be accessed by pressing F1 during the memory count after powering the system on. View the interrupt status in the section titled "ISA Legacy Resources." This is a design characteristic of the LANAID application due to the variety of systems in which the IBM Communication adapters are installed. There are no plans to provide a unique LANAID version for the IBM PC 700 6877 and 6887 systems at this time.
