H01737 - "RPL HALTED" ERROR w/IBM LAN ADAPTER FOR ETHERNET                   
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 SYMPTOM:                                                                       
 IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 may exhibit an "RPL Halted"                    
 error message at the beginning of the RIPL operation,                          
 immediately following the POST test beep when using the IBM                    
 LAN Adapter for Ethernet.                                                      
                                                                                
 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:                                                        
 Configure the adapter to perform the RIPL function, then                       
 configure the System Setup Startup Options to start the system                 
 from the network instead of the floppy drive or hardfile.  When                
 the system is restarted, the "RPL Halted" message appears after                
 POST.                                                                          
                                                                                
 FIX:                                                                           
 Do not replace hardware.  Verify that the network, system, and                 
 adapter configurations are correct.                                            
                                                                                
 An updated EPROM has been developed and made available to                      
 eliminate this failure.  This is a customer-installable                        
 replacement which is ordered directly from the IBM Support                     
 Center for the IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet.                                   
                                                                                
 THE EPROM UPDATE IS PROVIDED TO ELIMINATE THE SYMPTOM DESCRIBED                
 ABOVE.  OTHER LAN RELATED PROBLEMS SHOULD BE ISOLATED USING                    
 NORMAL PROBLEM DETERMINATION PROCEDURES OR DIRECTED TO THE                     
 IBM SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR ASSISTANCE.                                          
                                                                                
 Contact IBM Support at 1-800-237-5511 and request the level                    
 2.3 EPROM update for the IBM LAN Adapter for Ethernet.
