ECA 035 - 8514 Adapter/A in 8580
ECA 035 - 8514 Adapter/A in 8580
Provide replacement 8514/a in 8580
PURPOSE:
Provide a replacement 8514/A Adapter card when an early level
card prevents 8580 system operation.
PHYSICAL check:
- 8580 hardware configuration which includes an early
level 8514/a adapter card. early level cards can be
identified by 75x9013 or 75x9014 printed on the card
in white ink.
** and **
- software utilizing expanded memory
DETAIL:
Some 8580 hardware configurations which include an early level
8514/A card, combined with software that operates in expanded
memory, may create an address conflict in system memory that
prevents successful configuration or operation. To verify
that an early level 8514/A card is causing the problem,
remove the 8514/A card from the 8580 and attempt to configure.
If configuration is successful, replace the card with a new
level card.
Changes have been made to the 8514/A adapter so that the card
occupies less rom address space, eliminating the memory address
conflicts. To operate in the previously failing configuration,
the new card requires version 1.01 of the 8514/A option
diskette (PUB # G68X2366). option diskette version 1.01 can
be used with early level and new level 8514/A cards. if the
new level 8514/A is configured with option diskette version
1.00, The system will not recognize changes on the new 8514/A
card. 8514/A cards ordered from FRU stock (P/N 1887971) will be
new level cards, and for a limited time will include option
diskette version 1.01.
NOTEs:
This ECA is to be installed on an "as required" basis only.
Order parts through normal distribution. All early level cards
should be returned.
