Order Number: A85874-002

121

Problem:

Mechanical interference between the Myelex installed memory module (DIMM)
and the onboard SCSI connector occurs if a Wide or Singled Ended SCSI cable
is installed on embedded SCSI A or B connector. LVD SCSI cable connectors
do not interfer.

Implication:

Mechanical interference may damage the Mylex memory module connector and
DIMM when the Mylex AcceleRADI 352 Adaptor Card ins fully seated in PCI slot
6 connector.

Workaround:

Insure correct SCSI cable connector is used if a cables are installed on the
onboard SCSI connectors at SCSI A or B.

Status:

Will not fix.

26. Bootable CD will not boot if inserted during OPTION ROM scan

Problem:

During POST while the OPTION ROM scan for the on board (OB) devices and
add in PCI adapters is in process, if an bootable CD-ROM is inserted in to he
CD-ROM, the system will not attempt to boot to the CD-ROM. An attempt to
boot to the floppy was made and then the OS on the hard drive booted. No
attempt was made to boot to the bootable CDROM.

Implication:

Bootable CD-ROM must be inserted before POST begins or the system is
reset.

Workaround:

Reset system after CD-ROM is inserted.

Status:

Will not fix.

27. Swapping bootable for non-bootable CDROM during POST

causes hang at boot.

Problem:

Powered on the system with a bootable Win2k AS CD in the CDROM drive. As
soon as the BIOS began to POST add-in cards with OPTION ROMS the
Bootable CD was ejected and a non-bootable CD was inserted. When the
system completed POST and attempted to boot, the floppy drive showed an
access attempt. The system then hanged with a blinking cursor on a black
background. The boot order was set with 1)Floppy 2) CDROM 3) Hard Drive.

Workaround:

Reset the system. BIOS does not rescan status of boot devices upon
completion of POST.

Status:

Will not fix.
