ECA 039 - 30-286 RIPL (resume) F1 error
ECA 039 - 30-286 RIPL F1 (resume) error
Remote IPL on 8530 286 requires "f1" to resume
PURPOSE:
To provide a replacement system board, FRU P/N 34F0046, which
will allow "POST" to proceed, without operator intervention,
when using the remote IPL feature of Network cards.
PHYSICAL check:
The following physical check requirements must be met on
systems that have a Network adapter, IBM or OEM, with a
remote IPL feature.
There are two levels of the 8530 286 system board,
FRU P/N 27F4069. One level has a pair of BIOS modules
with numbers of 30F9579 + 30F9580 or 30F9543 + 30F9544
or 33F8645 + 33F8646. The other level has one BIOS
module with a number of 37F6652 or 41F0258 or 27F4092.
if any other numbers are found printed on the top of the
bios modules, this ECA does not apply.
DETAIL:
Early level system boards required a user to press "F1"
to continue processing during POST. With this ECA:, all
models and levels of the 286 will be consistent in the
manner that remote IPL is invoked.
