1GB Pegasus IDE Hardfile (6050/6070) Data loss / WinNT



(Aug-1995)
Subject: 1Gb Pegasus IDE HardFile on 6050/6070

Problem: Potential data loss with 1Gb H/F running under Win NT.

There exits a possibility of data loss when updating device drivers due to the write Cache on the 1Gb Pegasus IDE Hardfile. This problem is actually a Windows NT problem but it can be resolved by disabling the DASD Cache. All systems are now being manufactured with DASD Cache disabled in order to avoid this problem.

Solution:

If you replace the 1Gb Hardfile ( FRU P/N 06H6416 ) then you must unsure that the Hardfile jumpers are in the same position as the Hardfile being removed. Please ensure that jumpers are on positions 1 and 5. If not, move jumper from position 7 to position 5.
