Abstract: SYSTEM HANGS DURING POST WITH 4/10GB TAPE DRIVE
SYMPTOM:
Systems with an IBM 4/10GB 4mm DAT tape drive attached to an IBM
AT Fast SCSI Adapter may hang during POST.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
All of the following must be true for this tip to apply:
- The system hangs at POST (no Beeps).
- The system has an IBM AT Fast SCSI Adapter FRU P/N 82G4879 or
FRU P/N 92F0330 with an IBM 4/10GB tape drive FRU P/N 16G8454
or FRU P/N 16G8456
- The tape drive has JUMPERS as opposed to dip switches.
- The model number on the label on the bottom of the drive is
CTD8000H or CTD8000R
FIX:
Contact the IBM PC HelpCenter, Options by IBM tech support, at
800-426-7299 and request the upgrade kit which includes the
following:
- PowerSCSI 4.1 driver diskette
- Microcode update diskette or tape cartridge
- EEPROM version 3.61
- Microcode update instructions
The BIOS EPROM for the AT SCSI adapter will fix the system hang
at POST, but the PowerSCSI software must be installed on
DOS/Windows 3.11 and earlier systems for the tape software to
function properly.
Note: Refer to Record H013309 for updating tape microcode.
