System Reference Code A6005008 - IBM i Series Handbook

System reference code A6005008

Use this table if you received system reference code (SRC) A6005008. If an IPL did not find a console and
if the console type is set to anything except a 1, the system will display code A6005008.
v If you are attempting to use a twinaxial console the only data relevant in this SRC is word 16. Use the
following table to determine the twinaxial failure. The first 4 characters of this word contains the last 4
characters of the original failure type. For example, if word 16 contained 50010001, the
twinaxial-related SRC would be A6005001 and the console type is set to use a twinaxial console. Refer
to that SRC.
v If you are attempting to use Operations Console, select the appropriate section in the following table
by referring to this list:
– Local console on a network uses words 13, 14, and 15.
– Local console that is directly attached to the system uses words 17, 18, and 19.
Note: If you just replaced the LAN adapter associated with Operations Console (LAN), you need to wait
at least 35 minutes for the system to find and use the new LAN adapter. In this case, when the
system is satisfied, it starts using the new adapter. The console should start, and the SRC is no
longer shown.

System i: Connecting to System i Operations Console
Failure
No supported HW detected
or HW detected is not
expected (for example, you
replaced the LAN IOA so
the serial number is
different)
LAN IOA failed to report
Hardware error
BOOTP status: If attempts
are zero, then BOOTP is
ready, when called. If
attempts have a value, then
the PC did not respond
The system's LAN
connection is active but the
PC failed to connect. Are
the PC and system on the
same network and using
the same protocol? Can the
PC ping the system? (ping
serverhostname)
LAN
Word 14 means:
Common error codes:
53001A80,53002AC0
Network, cable or the LAN
adapter may not be
operational. Error code:
00000000 . This error code
indicates the adapter
reported but has not been
initialized yet. This is not
considered an error, at this
time. The adapter should
be activated shortly. For
other error codes contact
your service provider.

Word 15 means:
In some cases the serial
number of the expected
adapter may be shown.
Card position or serial
number of adapter
