IBM ValuePoint - Windows 32-bit disk access

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
All PS/ValuePoint 6382/S, 6384/D, 6387/T and 6381/Si systems with pre-loaded Windows 3.1 software, are not configured to use the windows 32-Bit access feature.

Problem Isolation Aids:
None.

Fix:
To allow these systems to utilize the Windows 32-Bit disk access feature, modify the "System.INI" file located in the Windows subdirectory as follows. Locate the '386ENH' section of the "System.INI" file using a text editor. Add the following statements to the '386ENH' section of the file:
32BITDISKACCESS=ON
DEVICE=*INT13
DEVICE=*WDCTRL
The 6382/S, 6384/D and 6387/T systems must be at flash EEPROM level L6ET51AUS (51A) or higher to utilize the 32-Bit disk access feature. View the flash EEPROM level by accessing the configuration utility program. The 5th, 6th and 7th positions of the EEPROM level represent the code level, for example, L6ET51AUS is code level 51A.
