IBM ValuePoint - NE1000 adapter fails

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
The NE1000 communication adapter from Eagle technologies may fail to load the NE1000 and Novell device drivers intermittently when installed in a PS/ValuePoint 6381/Si system.

Intermittent failures of the NE1000 adapter may be reduced by the following:
1. install the NE1000 adapter in the lowest slot on the 6381/Si riser card.
2. use the latest device drivers from Novell.
3. replace the NE1000 card with the latest level card from Eagle technologies. The NE1000 adapter was not tested and is not recommended for use in PS/ValuePoint systems. IBM has tested and supports the use of the NE2000 adapter in PS/ValuePoint systems.

For those customers that must use the NE1000 adapter, intermittent failures may still be observed after following the above recommendations.
