IBM PC730/PC750 - ECA008 - Signal quality condition (EMEA Only)
Applicable to: EMEA
Purpose:
The purpose of this ECA is to provide a replacement PCI/ISA Riser Card to eliminate a potential signal quality condition which may occur during file transfer operations in specific systems that contain an IBM PCI Auto LANStreamer Token Ring adapter or IBM PCI Token Ring adapter (all part numbers).
This condition can potentially interfere with or affect data being transferred between the affected IBM PCI Token Ring adapters and the referenced IBM PC Systems.

Physical check:
Affected systems contain an IBM PCI Auto LANStreamer Token Ring adapter or an IBM PCI Token Ring adapter.
System diagnostics run without errors.
Prerequisites:
Currently all installed systems that are potentially exposed to the condition contains one of the following PCI/ISA riser cards:
6877 PC 730 - P/N06H9143-FRU P/N06H9896
6877 PC 730 - P/N76H6227-FRU P/N76H0231
6887 PC 750 - P/N06H9086-FRU P/N06H9899
or P/N07H1267
6887 PC 750 - P/N07H1267-FRU P/N07H1266
Companion:
None
Concurrent:
None
Detail:
All models of the PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 systems may experience the signal quality condition when used in conjunction with either of the following IBM PCI network adapters:
- IBM PCI Auto LANStreamer Token Ring Adapter
- IBM FRU P/N04H8104 or 42H3377
- IBM Assembly P/N92G8457 (Original level)
P/N42H0658
P/N42H3279
P/N55H8985 (Current level)
- IBM PCI Token Ring Adapter
- IBM FRU P/N41H8874
- IBM Assembly P/N41H8862
The condition can potentially cause a data error that could manifest itself in a system hang, or result in incorrect data with or without generating an error message.
Replace the Riser Card if BOTH the following conditions are met :-
1. PC 700 Series 6877 or 6887 with a riser card matching the part number as stated in the "PREREQUISITES" section of this ECA.
2. The system contains an IBM PCI Auto LANStreamer Token Ring Adapter or an IBM PCI Token Ring Adapter as stated above.
No other combination of IBM or non-IBM PCI network adapters and the PC 700 Series systems have exhibited this problem.
Replacement Riser Cards MUST be ordered using the PCCO UPOS Ordering system UPOS Ordering P/NOS are :-
6877 PC730 3X3 RISER UPOS P/N 013C075
6887 PC750 5X5 RISER UPOS P/N 013C074
DO NOT order updated Riser Cards using the normal parts ordering procedure through COP Amsterdam.
Notes:
Placement of PCI adapters, especially PCI network adapters of any brand, should be done beginning with the PCI slot at the base of the riser card, closest to the system board. Additional PCI adapters should be installed in a bottom to top configuration.
Customers exposed to this potential condition should place the IBM PCI network adapter in the slot closest to the system board until the new riser card has been installed. This will minimize the possibility of this condition.
This ECA provides labour reimbursement for replacement of a riser card in a PC 700 Series 6877/6887 system that meets ALL of the criteria stated above.
IBM Authorized Servicers should scrap replaced risers locally. PSS Servicers should return replaced risers to the branch office for bulk return/scrap. IBM PSS Servicers should record time and travel, along with the other product information to:
