PCI Bridge Card

 The multiprocessor bus-to-PCI bridge is a special adapter that physically plugs into two sockets, one on the multiprocessor bus and one on the PCI bus. The circuitry on this card controls the movement of data between the processor complexes, memory cards and the I/O adapters on the Micro Channel and PCI buses. It implements a split bus design so that during slower I/O operations the multiprocessor bus can be made available for processor to memory transfers without having to wait on the I/O transfer.

Symptom The PC Server 720 (8642) hangs or fails to boot. 

Fix  Inspect the EMC shield on the bridge card. Locate the metal clip (one of four) on the component side near capacitor C66. If the clip appears too close to capacitor C66, remove the EMC shield, and cut out the corner of the metal clip to increase the clearance from the capacitor
                (Recommended). 
                -OR- 
  Remove the EMC shield, and insulate the edge of the metal clip with electrical tape, and re-install the shield (Alternative).

     Some bridge cards were undercut at the EMC shield attach point which  could cause a short to the C66 capacitor. 
 



SUBJECT: INTERMITTENT HANGS - SERVER PC720(8642) 

SYMPTOM: 
Intermittent hangs / traps on Server 720 / 8642 

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS: 
Check settings of jumper J24 on system and manufacturing part number of PCI bridge card 

FIX: 
Bridge card 07H1107 (fru Part Number 71G0694) requires J24 on the system board to be open circuit 

Bridge card 75H7667 (fru Part Number 71G0694) requires J24 pins 1+2 to be Short circuit ( ie. the 2 pins of J24 nearest the back of the machine.) 

REASON : 
J24 pins 1+2 S/C sets the PCI bus speed to 33MHz. ( new Bridge card ) 
J24 pins o/c sets the PCI bus speed to 25MHz. ( old Bridge card )
