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.
