Chapter 5. Error Code to FRU Index
Attention:
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. The most likely
cause is listed first. Use this index to help you decide which FRUs to replace when
servicing the system.
v 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.
v If you replace FRUs or perform an action and the problem is corrected, go to "MAP
410: Repair Checkout" in RS/6000 and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for
Multiple Bus Systems.
Note: Do not shut down the system if the FRU was replaced by hot swap.
Four-Character Checkpoints
Four-character progress codes and checkpoints in the form 8xxx, 9xxx, Axxx, Bxxx, and
Exxx are listed in "Firmware Checkpoints" on page 91. If you have a four-character
code that begins with any character other than 8, 9, A, B, or E, refer to the RS/6000
and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems.
Operator Panel Replacement
Licensed programs frequently rely on system information that is stored in the VPD
module on the operator panel. If the MAPs indicate that the operator panel should be
replaced, the pluggable VPD module must be swapped. If the old module is defective,
or cannot be recovered, contact service support.
Replacing the Network Adapter
If a network adapter is replaced, the network administrator must be notified so that the
client IP addresses used by the server can be updated. In addition, the operating
system configuration of the network controller may need to be changed in order to
enable system startup. Also check to ensure that any client or server that accesses this
system gets updated.
Determining Location Code
If you have an error code in the form 2xxx xxxx or Exxx, and no location code
associated with it, the location code may possibly be found in three places, depending
on the state of the system:
v If the system will boot into AIX, the location code will be reported when error log
analysis is run under AIX diagnostics.
