Yes..., this option has been tested, both by Server Options
Engineering and Server Engineering QA.
I just rechecked this.
The only problem I have seen, and this might pertain to your
installation, is: remove the jumper that enables IRQ2 (JP7) on the
Speedstar. This manifested itself in a hung ZX6200 on POST, while
polling the super i/o. This was a rather loaded ZX, so your milage may
vary. The bottom line: remove the IRQ2 jumper.
I'm not sure..., how these boards are configured when we or our
customers receive them. Any input from the field will be greatly
appreciated. The original qualification boards were retail versions.
Rich was running an MX with RSM with no problems and I had no
problems down in the LAB. Once I resolved the IRQ issue in the ZX, I
was able to dial out and connect to my ZX and boot the Netware 4.11 SMP
Server that is currently loaded on it.
I see no reason, regarding the Speedstar, why this configuration
shouldn't work. I would like you take the PCB P/N off the artwork on
the Speedstar and the BIOS Rev level and send that info to me.
Did you have these systems configured and up and running with
onboard graphics before you attempted to install RSM? And have you
tried another graphics card to verify that the status of the graphics
cards themselves?
Although it's not my area, I'll check to see what the current
status of installation documentation is. Both of these systems are
autosensing, so..., the procedure is: install the Speedstar..., and it
should come up displaying your BIOS screens, POST, and then boot the
system when you turn it on.
I will post any further discoveries here. And..., we always
welcome input from the field.

| I am having a problem using the FR-PCXAG-BC (Diamond Speedstar Pro)
video card in a ZX. The server is up and running on the onboard video
just fine. When I install the Speedstar I get nothing readable. If I
take this Speedstar and install it in another system (Celebris desktop)
it works fine. If I install a generic old VGA card (an old Tandy card I
had laying around) it works. I have tried two Speedstar cards in two
different ZX servers and no combination works. We are getting ready to
roll out about 15-20 ZX servers in the next three months and this is a
major roadblock. If we don't get this resolved soon, the best is we
will not sell the RSM, the worst is the customers will go to Compaq.
Any suggestions?
