H134921 - SERVER 720 BOOTS SLOWLY AFTER A WARM BOOT
 
 SYMPTOM:
 Any of the following symptoms are observed:
 - The Server takes a long time to POST (5-7 minutes).
 - POST error 173 (Configuration Error) is displayed.
 
 If the Operating System is running slowly, refer to RETAIN
 record H134877 (TechTips document RMIE-3AZFRX).
 
 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
 - Netfinity was running on the system prior to the shutdown
 - The system was restarted with a warm boot (<Ctrl> <Alt> <Del>)
 
 FIX:
 To fix permanently, install the latest Systems Management device
 drivers (PC Server 720 Processor Device Drivers Version 1.12 or
 later).
 Follow this procedure:
 
 1. Download and expand the latest Systems Management device
    drivers from the IBM BBS.  Search for the following file:
    "PC Server 720 Processor Device Driver".
 
 2. Follow the instructions in the README.TXT
 
 -OR- As a temporary work-around, follow this procedure:
 
 1. Shutdown the Operating System if necessary.
 2. Power off the Server.
 3. Power on the Server.
 
 During normal operation, Netfinity loads microcode to the
 Service Processor.  On a Server 720 reboot, the Service
 Processor needs to be in a quiet state.  But if an orderly
 shutdown is NOT performed, the Service Processor remains at
 a high activity level which interferes with the next POST.
 
 The new device drivers allow Netfinity to shutdown in an orderly
 manner.
