v When you are installing a memory riser card: – Memory DIMMs must be moved from the one-way processor card to the memory riser card. – The memory riser card must then have a minimum of 1 quad (four DIMMs). Riser Card Memory Placement Rules The rules for memory riser cards are as follows: v Memory quads must contain DIMMs of equal memory size.
The period (·) identifies sublocations (DIMMs on a memory riser card, SCSI addresses, cables). The following are examples: v P1-M1.4 identifies DIMM 4 on memory riser card 1 plugged into planar P1. v P1-C1.1 identifies processor 1 on processor card 1 plugged into planar P1. v P2-Z1-A3.1 identifies a SCSI device with SCSI address of LUN 1 at SCSI ID 3 attached to SCSI bus 1 from planar 2.
AIX Location Codes The basic formats of the AIX location codes are as follows: v For non-SCSI devices/drives: – AB-CD-EF-GH v For SCSI devices/drives: – AB-CD-EF-G,H For planars, cards, and non-SCSI devices, the location code is defined as follows: AB-CD-EF-GH | | | | | | | Device/FRU/Port ID | | Connector ID...
Page 38
For SCSI devices, the location code is defined as follows: AB-CD-EF-G,H | | | | | | | | | Logical Unit address of the SCSI Device | | | Control Unit Address of the SCSI Device | | Connector ID | devfunc Number, Adapter Number or Physical Location Bus Type or PCI Parent Bus AB-CD-EF are the same as non-SCSI devices.

Service Inspection Guide Perform a service inspection on the server when: v The server is inspected for a maintenance agreement. v Service is requested and service has not recently been performed. v An alterations and attachments review is performed. v Changes have been made to the equipment that may affect the safe operation of the equipment.
RS/6000 and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems , are the basis of the diagnostic procedures for Models F80, 6F0, and 6F1 systems. In particular, the following sections in this book are important for the trained service representative to understand and use when isolating a failure on the system: v Chapter 4, “Checkpoints”...
The Power MAP deals with isolation of components to diagnose a power problem. The nature of power problems can be related to powering on and down the system, or power failures that can occur after power is turned on. The Minimum Configuration MAP is used to locate defective components not found by normal diagnostics or error-isolation methods.
Note: Certain checkpoints may remain in the display for long periods of time. A spinning cursor is visible in the upper-right corner of the display during these periods to indicate that system activity is continuing. Error Codes If a fault is detected, an 8-digit error code is displayed in the operator panel display.
Using the Service Processor and Electronic Service Agent Features The service processor and Electronic Service Agent features protect users against unnecessary system downtime by advising support personnel (both internal and external) of any unexpected changes in the system environment. In combination, the two features provide a flexible solution to automated system maintenance.
Unlike the Electronic Service Agent, the service processor cannot be configured in a client/server environment where one system can be used to manage all dial-out functions for a set of systems. Prior to installing the Electronic Service Agent feature, ensure that you have the latest level of system firmware.
Chapter 3. Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs) This chapter contains maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs) for the Models F80, 6F0, and 6F1 systems.

Boot Problems and Concerns Depending on the boot device, a checkpoint may be displayed on the operator panel for an extended period of time while the boot image is retrieved from the device. This is particularly true for tape and network boot attempts. If booting from CD-ROM or tape, watch for activity on the drive’s LED indicator.
Step 3 Try to boot and run standalone diagnostics against the system, particularly against the intended boot device. If diagnostics boot successfully: 1. Go to the Task Selection Menu and select Display Configuration and Resource List. If the intended boot device is not listed, go to ″MAP 0290: Missing Resource Problem Resolution″...
Step 5 The CD-ROM drive, SCSI cable, SCSI adapter, graphics adapter, or the system board is most likely defective. A TTY terminal attached to the serial port also can be used to determine if the graphics adapter is causing the problem. This determination is done by removing the graphics adapter, attaching a TTY to the serial port, and retrying standalone diagnostics.
Chapter 5. Error Code to FRU Index Attention: Start your activity in this chapter by going to “Checkpoint and Error Code Index” on page 106. In this table, you may be asked to perform additional procedures before looking up the actions for a 4-character checkpoint or 8-character error code. The Error Code to FRU Index lists fault symptoms and possible causes.
v If the system will boot into the system management services (SMS) menus, the SMS error log will contain the location code associated with the error code. See “Display Error Log” on page 299. v If the system halted when the error occurred, the error code and location can be found in the LCD progress indicator log, which can be accessed using the service processor menus.
Table 3. Checkpoint and Error Code Index (continued) Checkpoint or Error What You Should Do Code Mxxx xxxx Problem Determination-Generated Error Codes Go to “Problem Determination-Generated Error Codes” on page 247, and follow the instructions in the More General Error Code table. Performing Slow Boot On this system, the error code displayed in the operator panel may not indicate the root cause of the problem.
Memory-Related Error Codes You have been directed here because you have an 8-character error code that indicates a problem with system memory. This section will help you isolate to the failing FRU. v If the location code or the service action calls out one DIMM, do the following: 1.
Operator Panel Error Codes Attention: If you replace FRUs or perform an action and the problem is still not corrected, go to “MAP 1540: Minimum Configuration” on page 57 unless otherwise indicated in the tables. If you replace FRUs or perform an action and the problem is corrected, go to ″MAP 410: Repair Checkout″...
SPCN Error Codes Attention: If a power supply or fan is hot-swapped, wait five minutes, then recheck the AIX error log. If the system has to be shut down to replace a power supply or fan, reboot the system, wait five minutes after the AIX login prompt appears, then recheck the AIX error log.

The service processor uses the ring interrupt request to count the number of rings when Ring Indicate Power-On (RIPO) is enabled. If your modem produces an interrupt on only the first ring, set Ring Indicate Power-On to start on the first ring. Otherwise, you can choose to start Ring Indicate Power-On on any ring count.
Consult your modem manual for its specific response scheme for the &Dn command. Two strategies are available for dealing with the modem’s response to DTR: v Recovery v Prevention Before you use one of these strategies, determine if your server’s modem is set up correctly to respond to DTR.
Prevention Strategy The disconnect is caused by the operating system when it initializes the Primary Console. The tests listed in “Transfer of a Modem Session” on page 404 are conducted with the remote terminal selected as the primary console to manifest the modem’s response to DTR transitions.
