For use by authorized service providers.
A system unit part is failing.
Follow the instructions for the model you are working on:
v Models 270, 820, 830, 840, SB2, or SB3 (See page 341)
v Models 800, 810, 825, 870, or 890 (See page 346)
Instructions for Models 270, 820, 830, 840, SB2, and SB3
1.
Choose from the following options:
v
If you are on a Model 270 or 820: Continue with the next step.
v
If you are on a Model 830, 840, SB2, or SB3: Go to step 7 (See page 343).
2.
Does the SRC 1xxx 840D, 840E or 840F appear on the panel?
Yes: Continue with the next step.
v
No: Go to "Starting point for all problems" on page 2.
v
This ends the procedure.
3.
Is the SRC for an xSeries
No: Continue with the next step.
v
Yes: Exchange the Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) (see Type, model, and part number list ).
v
4.
Perform the following to display the Configuration ID:
Note: The system or frame that will display the ID MUST be powered down with ac applied. If you
are working on a Model 270 with an FC 7104 system unit expansion, verify that both the ac line cord
for the system and the ac line cord for the expansion unit is plugged in.
a.
Select Function 07 on the system control panel and press Enter. An 07** displays.
b.
Use the arrow keys to increment / decrement to subfunction A8. An 07A8 will display.
c.
Press Enter. An 07A8 00 will display.
d.
Use the arrow keys to increment / decrement to the frame address of the box you want to check
(usually 02, 03, ... for the towers, 01 for system unit frames). An 07nn will display where nn is the
frame address.
e.
Press Enter. An 07nn 00 will display.
Note: For a non-system unit frame, the display on the addressed frame should now be blinking
on and off. For a system unit, press an arrow key (increment or decrement) twice to display the
ID (first 07** will be displayed then 07nn will be displayed, where nn is the Configuration ID).
