IBM IntelliStation Z Pro - 3COM & Madge network adapters fail to configure

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
A Madge Smart 16/4 PCI Ringnode adapter and a 3Com Fast Etherlink XL (3C905-TX) adapter may fail to configure when both adapters are installed in an IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Both adapters will fail to configure and fail to be recognized by the operating system and adapter drivers regardless of the IRQ resources assigned to each adapter.

Installing either of the adapters alone will allow the system to recognize the adapter and function properly.

Fix:
Do not replace any system hardware.

The combination of a Madge Smart 16/4 PCI Ringnode adapter and a 3Com Fast Etherlink XL (3C905-TX) adapter in an IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 is not supported.
