Introduction
The multiprocessor bus-to-PCI bridge is a special adapter that physically
plugs into two sockets, one on the multiprocessor bus and one on the PCI bus.
The circuitry on this card controls the movement of data between the processor
complexes, memory cards and the I/O adapters on the Micro Channel and PCI
buses. It implements a split bus design so that during slower I/O operations
the multiprocessor bus can be made available for processor to memory transfers
without having to wait on the I/O transfer.
Note: The PCI-to-MCA bridge chip is a located on
the planar.

Bridge Card EMC Shield Causes System Hangs or Failure to Boot
Symptom
The PC Server 720 (8642) hangs or fails to boot.
Fix
Inspect the EMC shield on the bridge card. Locate the metal clip (one of
four) on the component side near capacitor C66. If the clip appears too close
to capacitor C66, remove the EMC shield, and cut out the corner of the metal
clip to increase the clearance from the capacitor (Recommended)
-OR-
Remove the EMC shield, and insulate the edge of the metal clip with
electrical tape, and re-install the shield (Alternative).

C66 C67
Some bridge cards were undercut at the EMC shield attach point which could
cause a short to the C66 capacitor.
Intermittent Hangs
Symptom
Intermittent hangs / traps on Server 720 / 8642
Problem Isolation Aids
Check settings of jumper J24 on system and manufacturing part number
of PCI bridge card.
Fix
Bridge card 07H1107 (FRU P/N 71G0694) requires J24 on the system
board to be open circuit.
Bridge card 75H7667 (FRU P/N 71G0694) requires J24 pins 1+2
to be Short circuit (i.e. the 2 pins of J24 nearest the back of the machine.)
Reason
J24 pins 1+2 S/C sets the PCI bus speed to 33MHz. (new Bridge card)
J24 pins o/c sets the PCI bus speed to 25MHz. (old Bridge card)
