IBM PC330/PC350 - NEC CDR250 CD-ROM not recognized
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 300 Series 6576 and 6586 systems may fail to complete Power On Self Test (POST) with an NEC CDR250 IDE CDROM drive installed. If POST does complete, the system may not recognize the NEC CDROM drive.
Problem Isolation Aids:
The NEC CDR250 IDE CDROM drive was not tested and is incompatible with the IBM PC 300 Series 6576 and 6586.
Fix:
The NEC CDR260 and CDR273 are more current IDE CDROM offerings from NEC. The CDR260 was tested and does function in the PC300 Series systems. Both of the current IDE CDROM drives eliminate the failure when installed in combination with the latest Flash BIOS update for the PC 300 Series 6576 and 6586.
