Ppcimin; Ppcisys - IBM iSeries Series Hardware Problem Analysis And Isolation

The list of possible failing items that are displayed on-line is not complete. There is not enough space to
display all of the failing items. See the complete list of possible failing items in the appropriate unit
reference code table in System reference codes.

PPCIMIN

For use by authorized service providers.
PPCIMIN: Primary PCI bus in an I/O expansion tower.
The failing component is the tower card in an FC 5075, FC 5095, or FC 0595 Expansion I/O Tower.
1. Choose from the following options:
v If you are working from the service action log, and a card position is listed with this failing
component, then that is where the error is located. Continue with the next step.
v Otherwise, record the bus number value, BBBB, in word 7 of the system reference code (SRC). See
"Breaking down the SRC" on page 63 for help in determining the bus number.
2. Search for the bus number in HSM or the system configuration listing to determine which FC 5075, FC
5095, or FC 0595 Expansion I/O Tower contains the failing component.

PPCISYS

For use by authorized service providers.
The failing component is the primary PCI bus on the system unit backplane. Use the system model and
the table below to exchange the field replaceable unit (FRU) with the failing component.
