Disketteless models, the customer has the responsibility to
make the diagnostics available either locally on the PC
hard disk or remotely through a server.
Remote diagnostics
Some computers might not have diagnostics loaded onto
the local hard drive. If the computer you are servicing is
connected to a server and the server has the diagnostic
image, remote diagnostics can be run. (To use the
diagnostics from the RTC CD, a diskette must be made
from the diskette factory, then the diskette files are loaded
on the server). See the customer's System Administrator
for more information about remote diagnostics.
Remote diagnostics require:
Access to the network
System Administrator to download the diagnostics or
to execute remote diagnostics to the client computer.

Token-ring table terms and definitions
Auto-removalThe state in which a token-ring adapter
port removes itself from the network to
perform self-tests to verify that it is not
the cause of a hard error. If the tests
are successful, the port will reattach
itself to the network.
BeaconingThe state that a token-ring adapter port
enters after it has detected a hard error.
The error condition is reported to the
other devices on the network.
Beaconing can result in the port
removing itself from the network
(auto-removal) to determine whether it is
the cause of the hard error.
Hard errorAn error condition on a network that
requires removing the source of the error
or reconfiguring the network before the
network can resume reliable operation.
InitializationThe first step taken to prepare the port
for use after the computer has been
booted. During initialization, the port
runs a series of internal self-diagnostic
tests.
OpenThe state in which the port has
established connection with other
devices on the ring.
Wire faultAn error condition caused by a break or
short circuit in the cable segment that
connects the port to its access unit, such
as an IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network
Controller Access Unit.

System programs (Type 6876/6886)
The system programs are utility programs for Micro
Channel computers that allow you to:
Change the system configuration
Set passwords
Change the date and time
Set power management features
Test the computer
The programs are installed in a special protected area of
the hard disk drive called the System Partition.
The System Partition appears on the FDISK and FDISKPM
screens for DOS and OS/2

other programs. Before you delete the System Partition,
you must first use the Back up/Restore systemprograms option on the system programs Main Menu to
make current copies of the Reference, Diagnostic, and
QAPlus/PRO diskettes. Without the System Partition, you
must use these diskettes to configure and diagnose the
computer.
If the computer was manufactured without a hard disk
drive, the system programs were provided on three
diskettes:
Reference Diskette
Diagnostics Diskette

Depending on the diagnostics version level you are using,
the installed devices in the computer are verified in one of
two ways:
1. At the start of the diagnostic tests, the Module Test
Menu is displayed. Normally, all installed devices in
the computer are highlighted on the menu.
2. At the start of the diagnostic tests, the main menu
appears. From this menu, select System Info then
select Hardware Configuration from the next menu.
Normally, all installed devices in the computer are
highlighted on this report.
If an installed device is not recognized by the diagnostics
program:
The diagnostic code for the device is not on the
diagnostic diskette. Run the diagnostics provided
with that device.
The missing device is defective or it requires an
additional diskette or service manual.
An unrecognizable device is installed.
A defective device is causing another device not to be
recognized.
The SCSI controller failed (on the system board or
SCSI adapter).
Use the procedure in “Undetermined problem” on
page 82 to find the problem.
If a device is missing from the list, replace it. If this does
not correct the problem, use the procedure in
“Undetermined problem” on page 82.

Undetermined problem
Check the power supply voltages. See “Power supply” on
page 28. If the voltages are correct, return here and
continue with the following steps.
1. Power-off the computer.
2. Remove or disconnect the following, one at a time:
a. Non-IBM devices
b. External devices (modem, printer, or mouse)
c. Any adapters
d. Riser card
e. Memory modules
Before removing or replacing memory modules,
see “System board memory” on page 289.
f. Extended video memory
g. External Cache
h. External Cache RAM
i. Hard disk drive
j. Diskette drive
3. Power-on the computer to re-test the system.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you find the failing
device or adapter.
If all devices and adapters have been removed, and the
problem continues, replace the system board. See
“Replacing a system board” on page 84.
Replacing a processor
For Pentium processors, install the processor with the
beveled corner aligned with the beveled corner of the
processor socket.
For Type 6588, 6888, and other Types that have Pentium
II processors, see “Microprocessor removal (Type 6588,
6888)” on page 339.
For Dual Pentium II processors, jumper the processor
speed to the slowest speed processor.
When a second Pentium Pro or Pentium II microprocessor
is installed for Dual processor operation, the processor
revision must be one under, the same, or one above from
each other. To find the processor revision level, go to the
configuration Setup (see “Setup Utility program” on
page 261) and select:
1. Advanced Setup
2. Processor Control
3. Processor ID
The processor ID has four numbers, such as 0650.
The first two numbers, 06, designates the Pentium
processor.
The second two numbers, 50, designates the
processor revision level.
82IBM PC 300/700, IntelliStation Series HMM
Page 95
In this case, revision levels of 49, 50, or 51 are acceptable.
Important
If the processor is not installed correctly, the system
board and the processor can be damaged.
Replacing a video cache module
Use an appropriate video cache extracting tool to remove
a video cache module from the system board. If a module
is removed without properly using an extracting tool, the
module socket can be damaged. See “Special tools” on
page 161 for the IBM P/N of the video cache extracting
tool.
Service information83
Page 96
Replacing a system board
Notes
1. The BIOS and Vital Product Data (VPD) for the
computer you are servicing must be installed on
the new system board (FRU) after it is installed in
the computer. To do this, you must run the
Flash Update program using the Flash Update
diskette. See “BIOS levels” on page 240 “Vital
product data” on page 230, and “Flash
(BIOS/VPD) update procedure” on page 241.
2. Always ensure the latest level of BIOS is installed
on the computer. A down level BIOS may cause
false errors and unnecessary replacement of the
system board.
3. The processor is a separate FRU from the
system board and is not included with the system
board FRU. If you are instructed to replace the
system board, do the following.
4. Remove the processor from the old system board
and install it on the new system board. For Type
6588, 6888, see “Microprocessor removal (Type
6588, 6888)” on page 339.
5. Remove any of the following installed options on
the old system board, and install them on the
new system board.
External cache memory and cache tag RAM
Memory modules
Extended video memory
6. Ensure that the new system board jumper
settings match the old system board jumper
settings.
7. If the new system board does not correct the
problem, reinstall the options on the old system
board, reinstall the old system board, then
replace the processor.
System board replacement (Type 6588,
6888)
To remove the system board, remove:
System board mounting screws
Four screws holding the microprocessor retention
bracket
Two front screws
Lift the system board out of the system unit. Leave the
system board plate (that was located under the system
board) in the system unit.
To install a system board:
Position the new system board over the system board
plate and install:
– Retention bracket and four screws
84IBM PC 300/700, IntelliStation Series HMM
Page 97
– Two front screws
– System board mounting screws
The system board can also be removed by removing the
