Ws-Pip1 - IBM iSeries Series Hardware Problem Analysis And Isolation

DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when adding or removing any devices to or from the system, ensure
that the power cords for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected or
disconnected. If possible, disconnect all power cords from the existing system before you add or remove a
device. (RSFTD203)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not connect or disconnect cables or
station protectors for communications lines, display stations, printers, or telephones. (RSFTD003)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock, do not use the port tester during electrical storms. (RSFTD006)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds, use one
hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables. (RSFTD004)
DANGER
To prevent power from switching on automatically during service procedures, select manual or secure mode
on the system unit control panel or disconnect the cables that connect to J15 and J16 on the frame being
serviced. (RSFTD211)
Read and understand the following service procedures before using this section:
v Power on/off the system and logical partitions
v Determining a Primary or Alternative Console in the iSeries Service Functions
WS-PIP1: Note: If the console has a keyboard error, there may be a K on the display. See the
workstation service information for more information.
1. If the system has logical partitions, perform this procedure from the logical partition that reported the
problem. To determine if the system has logical partitions, go to Determine if the system has logical
partitions.
2. Are you using a workstation adapter console (type 6A58 or 6A59)?
v No: Continue with the next step.
v Yes: Go to "WSAC-PIP1" on page 248.
This ends the procedure.
3. Perform the following:
a. Select the icon on the workstation to make it the console (you may have already done this). You
must save the console selection. For more information see Local Device Configuration and LAN,
Frame-Relay and ATM Support.
b. Access dedicated service tools (DST) by performing the following:
1) Select Manual mode on the control panel.
2) Use the selection switch on the control panel to display function 21, Make DST Available, and
press Enter on the control panel.
3) Wait for a display to appear on the console or for a reference code to appear on the control
panel.
