H136268 - BRIDGE CARD EMC SHIELD CAUSES SYSTEM FAILURE SYMPTOM: The PC Server 720 (8642) hangs or fails to boot. PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS: NONE 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).
