TECH TIP NO. 99.001

TECH TIP NO. 99.001

DATE:              May 10, 1991
BOARD TYPE:        All EISA Motherboards
BOARD REVISION:
BOARD FREQUENCY:
RELEASED BY:       Engineering Dept.



PROBLEM:           Bent pins on the EISA connectors.

REASON:            The EISA connectors are more delicate than the ISA (AT)
  connectors because of their design.  We feel that this is a
  problem that will be seen with any EISA motherboard and is
  not unique to AMI.

SOLUTION:          Once the connectors go through a "break-in" period, they
  become less susceptible to bent pins.  In factory test, we
  will insert cards into each slot four to five times to
  "break-in" the connectors.  We are also working with the
                   connector manufacturers to see if something can be done to
  improve the reliability of the connectors.

                   Distributors and System Integrators should be aware of this
  problem and check for bent pins before power is applied to
  the board.  If the pins of a connector are bent, they may
  cause a short which could damage components on the board.
  If bent pins are found the board should be returned to RMA
  for immediate repair.
