Diagnostic Utility  
The diagnostic utility is on the CD-ROM shipped with your 3270 PCI  
card. It is a Windows application that runs in the same operating  
system environment that the 3270 emulation program runs (Windows  
95, Windows 98, or Windows NT). It verifies that the adapter is  
operating correctly and that the appropriate resources have been  
assigned to the adapter by the operating system. It also verifies that  
the adapter can communicate with a control unit. It is made up of  
four separate tests:  
Table 3. Diagnostic Utility

Section 3. Maintenance and Service  
This section contains information to be used by service personnel to  
isolate failures of the 3270 PCI Card.  
For system failures, go to the hardware maintenance manual for the  
personal computer.  
Safety Inspection Guide  
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying  
potentially unsafe conditions related to card maintenance. Good  
judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards not  
covered by this inspection guide.  
If any unsafe conditions are present, a determination must be made  
about how serious the apparent hazard can be and whether you can  
continue without first correcting the problem.  
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:  
Ÿ Electrical hazards, especially primary power: Primary voltage on  
the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock.  
Ÿ Explosive hazards: A damaged CRT face or capacitor can cause  
serious injury.  
Ÿ Mechanical hazards: Loose or missing hardware can cause  
serious injury.  
The guide consists of a series of checks.  
1. Set the power switches for all personal computer components to  
off.  
2. Disconnect all power cords from the power receptacles.  
3. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp  
edges).

4. Check power cords for the following:  
Ÿ Each power cord must have a third-wire ground connector in  
good condition. Use a meter to measure third-wire ground  
resistance for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground  
pin and the frame ground as specified in the system  
hardware maintenance manual.  
Ÿ The cord set should be the appropriate molded type as  
specified in the system hardware maintenance manual.  
Ÿ The insulation must not be frayed or worn.  
5. Refer to the operator’s manual or hardware maintenance manual  
for the personal computer being serviced for the proper system  
unit cover removal procedures.  
6. Check for any obvious unsafe alterations. Use good judgment  
as to the safety of any alterations.  
7. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as:  
metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire  
or smoke damage.  
8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables. Ensure the voltage  
specified on the voltage tag (back panel of the unit) matches the  
voltage of the power receptacle. If in doubt, verify the voltage.  
9. Examine the power supply and verify the following:  
Ÿ That the input voltage selection switch is set correctly on the  
universal power supplies.  
Ÿ That nonremovable fasteners in the power-supply cover have  
not been removed or tampered with.  
Ÿ That the grommet is installed where the internal power  
cables come through the frame of the power supply.  
10. Check for the following labels:  
Ÿ On all system power supplies:  
“Caution Hazardous Area. Do Not Remove This Cover.  
Trained Service People Only. No Serviceable Components  
Inside.”  
20 3270 Emulation PCI Adapter User’s Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Ÿ If your system has a battery unit:  
“Warning: Do not dispose of the battery unit in fire or water.  
See instructions for disposal in the battery installation  
instructions.”  
“Check the condition of the battery.”  
Problem Isolation  
All repair action associated with the card begins here.  
Problem isolation is based on operator-reported failures or diagnostic  
messages. These procedures point out system unit problems,  
cabling, and card problems.  
If the failure is not caused by the card, go to the maintenance  
packages for other options, if installed. If the problem is still not  
resolved, refer to the hardware maintenance manual for the personal  
computer being serviced.  
To do problem isolation, you need the 3270 PCI Card diagnostic  
utility that is on the CD-ROM shipped with the card and the hardware  
maintenance manual for the personal computer being serviced.  
Ÿ Follow the “Problem Determination Procedures” on page 14 to  
determine whether or not the 3270 PCI card is bad.  
Additional Problem Isolation  
If you have completed problem isolation procedures without solving  
the problem, the following steps should help you find additional audio  
or visual symptoms.  
1. Check the entire system for loose or damaged connectors.  
2. Go to the hardware maintenance manual for the personal  
computer and follow the procedures there.  
If you have followed these procedures and still have an unsolved  
problem, you should request technical assistance (see Appendix A  
on page 23).

IBM  
International Business Machines Corporation Armonk, NY 10504  
Statement of Limited Warranty  
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to  
Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or an IBM  
authorized reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,  
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.  
Machines are subject to these terms only if purchased in the United States or Puerto  
Rico, or Canada, and located in the country of purchase. If you have any questions,  
contact IBM or your reseller.

Production Status  
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used  
parts (which perform like new parts). In some cases, the Machine may not  
be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the  
Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.  
The IBM Warranty  
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and  
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications.  
IBM calculates the expiration of the warranty period from the Machine’s Date  
of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless  
IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.  
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller will provide warranty service  
under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and  
install engineering changes that apply to the Machine. IBM or your reseller  
will specify the type of service.  
For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that  
the Machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered  
Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature,  
conversion, or upgrade. Some of these transactions (called “Net-Priced”  
transactions) may include additional parts and associated replacement parts  
that are provided on an exchange basis. All removed parts become the  
property of IBM and must be returned to IBM.  
Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they replace.  
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM  
or your reseller will repair or replace it (with a Machine that is at least  
functionally equivalent) without charge. If IBM or your reseller is unable to  
do so, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be  
refunded.  
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to  
that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your  
proof of purchase and this Statement to that user.

Warranty Service  
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller  
or call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-426-7299 In Canada,  
call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to present proof of  
purchase.  
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) a “Repair” service at your  
location (called “On-site”) or at one of IBM’s or a reseller’s service locations  
(called “Carry-in”) or 2) an “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.  
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item  
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement  
becomes yours. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good  
working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced.  
It is your responsibility to:  
1. obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have  
IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own;  
2. where applicable, before service is provided —  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service  
request procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,  
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location, and  
d. for a Machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts,  
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.  
Also, the Machine must be free of any legal obligations or  
restrictions that prevent its exchange; and  
3. be responsible for loss of, or damage to, a Machine in transit when you  
are responsible for the transportation charges.
