Abstract: REVISION LEVEL of DIAGNOSTICS in SYSTEM SET-UP NEVER CHANGES

TEXT:

Revision level of Diagnostics in system set-up never changes.

SYMPTOM:

Enter system set-up by pressing F1. Select the System Information option and go to Product Data. This screen should have the revision level of the Diagnostics. After flashing the new Diagnostics, go back and check the revision level. It will remain unchanged until Version 23A.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:

•  The system is a Netfinity 7000 M10 server, Type 8680, any Model.
•  Diagnostics pass

FIX:

A permanent fix will be available in Diagnostic Version 23A.

WORKAROUND:

There is no workaround until a permanent fix is found. Ignore the fact that revision level is not being updated since the code actually gets updated. If you check the system configuration screen, it will show a new date. Which will indicate the updated code is installed. Also, the new version level is viewable if you go to the "About Screen" in diagnostics.
