ABSTRACT: 2600 ECA-001 REPLACE SYS BRD/DC CARD DATED 9813 OR BELOW.

PURPOSE:
During any service action replace the Sysbrd/DC card with FRU P/N 10L1643, if the System Board's soldered DC/DC Card date code matches the PHYSICAL CHECK. Follow the instructions in the Detail Section to determine if the CPU also qualifies for replacement using this ECA.

PHYSICAL CHECK:
During any service action check the DC/DC card that is soldered to the System Board for a date code of 9813 or lower.

PREREQUISITES: NONE

COMPANION: NONE

CONCURRENT: NONE

DETAIL:
The 2600 may experience a system power, CPU or System board failure when operating with a DC/DC Card within the date code range in the PHYSICAL CHECK. The following symptoms can occur:
o No power on.
o CPU or System Board POST Errors.
o CPU or System Board diagnostic errors.

A System Board with a DC/DC card date code range listed in the PHYSICAL CHECK should be replaced during any service action using this ECA.

Because the DC/DC Card failure occurs in different areas of the card, different results can occur. Systems that operate correctly after the installation of the new System Board / DC/DC Card do NOT require CPU replacement, but systems that fail with CPU errors after System board / DC/DC card replacement can use
this ECA to also replace the CPU.

All System Boards with the identified DC/DC Card date codes have been purged from FRU stock. Old level system boards have been substituted to FRU P/N 10L1643. The old level System board FRU part numbers were: P/N 11J8581, P/N 05K3143, P/N 10L0892.

CPU cards consist of FRUs:
P/N 11J8600 133 MMX
P/N 05K3600 133 MMX
P/N 05K3601 150 MMX
P/N 10L0870 166 MMX

NOTES:
This ECA will expire on August 31, 1999.

Order all FRU parts locally, and record Time and Material to service code 33, ECA 001, and OTHER OFFICE 990.

EMEA RECORDING INFORMATION:
EMEA PSS CE's should record all time and parts to Service Code 33, (2600) ECA001, Other Office 990.
