About This Book

This book provides maintenance information that is specific to the pSeries 7311 Model D10 and Model
D20 I/O subsystems, as well as adapters and attached devices that do not have their own service
information. In this book, the I/O subsystems are referred to as the Model D10 I/O subsystem or the Model
D20 I/O subsystem.
MAPs that are common to all systems are contained in the RS/6000 Eserver pSeries Diagnostic
Information for Multiple Bus Systems.
This book is used by the service representative to repair system failures. This book assumes that the
service representative has had training on the processor subsystem to which an I/O subsystem is
attached, in addition to training on the I/O subsystem drawer.

ISO 9000

ISO 9000 registered quality systems were used in the development and manufacturing of this product.

Highlighting

The following highlighting conventions are used in this book:
Bold Identifies commands, subroutines, keywords, files, structures, directories, and other items
whose names are predefined by the system. Also identifies graphical objects such as buttons,
labels, and icons that the user selects.
Italics Identifies parameters whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the user.

References to AIX Operating System

This document may contain references to the AIX operating system. If you are using another operating
system, consult the appropriate documentation for that operating system.
This document may describe hardware features and functions. While the hardware supports them, the
realization of these features and functions depends upon support from the operating system. AIX provides
this support. If you are using another operating system, consult the appropriate documentation for that
operating system regarding support for those features and functions.
