     1.4.378 POTENTIAL UNDETECTED DATA MODIFICATION ON 9585   
      
         Record number:        H12989   
      
           Device:               D/T9585   
           Model:                M   
           Tip key:   
           Date created:         O93/08/23   
           Date last altered:    A94/08/15   
      
        SYMPTOM:   
         WHEN AN IBM SERVER 85 IS CONFIGURED WITH A DATA STREAMING   
         ADAPTER, AND THE ADAPTER'S DATA STREAMING MODE IS IN USE,   
         DATA LOSS OR DATA MODIFICATION MAY RESULT WITH NO ERROR   
         MESSAGE TO THE USER.   
      
         TESTING HAS SHOWN THIS EXPOSURE EXISTS WHEN A LANSTREAMER   
         MC 32 ADAPTER OR ETHERSTREAMER MC 32 ADAPTER IS INSTALLED   
         IN THE 9585.   
      
        PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:   
         - IBM LANSTREAMER MC 32 ADAPTER:   
           FRU P/N92F8941, OPTION 92F8942, FEATURE CODE 8942 OR 1100   
         - IBM ETHERSTREAMER MC 32 ADAPTER:   
           FRU P/N59G9081, OPTION 59G9066, FEATURE CODE 9066 OR 3310   
      
        FIX:   
         A CIRCUMVENTION IS TO TURN OFF THE LAN STREAMER OR   
         ETHERSTREAMER ADAPTER'S DATA STREAMING FUNCTION USING   
         "CHANGE CONFIGURATION."  IF A DATA STREAMING ADAPTER IS   
         NOT INSTALLED IN THE SERVER 85, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED.   
      
         A PERMANENT SOLUTION IS BEING INVESTIGATED.  THIS TIP WILL   
         BE UPDATED AS NEW INFORMATION DEVELOPS.   
      
         IBM IS TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTION TO NOTIFY POTENTIALLY   
         AFFECTED CUSTOMERS OF THIS SITUATION.   
         2/08/94 UPDATE:   
         Corrected Lan Streamer adapters are now shipping and the rollout   
         of adapters will continue over the next 90 days.  There are new   
         part numbers and FRU numbers associated with these adapters   
         Any adapter with the old FRU number needs to be replaced.   
      
         To register the adapters for replacement, call 1-800-426-2269   
         from 9: 00 AM to 8: 00 PM EST.  These adapters will be replaced   
         free of charge. Following is a list of associated part numbers   
         and FRU numbers.
