Frame type End point FRUs
Base I/O units - The HSL I/O bridge card
Frame 0001 and any
I/O tower
If replacing the End Point FRUs for the "From Frame ID" port did not clear up the error, use the table
above to replace the End Point FRUs at the other end of the cable. Perform "Bus PIP HSL-08" on page 88
to determine the frame ID and HSL port label of the other end of the cable (if you do not already know).
This ends the procedure.

SLOTERR: card slot control hardware detected an error.
The multi-adapter bridge detected a problem with a card location that it controls. The problem is in the
controls for the card slot. The card location may or may not have an installed card. If there is a card
installed in that location, it may be the source of the problem.
Note: If there is a Linux partition in the system, any IOPs plugged into slots owned by a Linux partition will
not power on. This error will be logged. Correct the situation by removing the IOP cards.
1. Is there a single card position listed in the SAL for this failing item?
v No: Continue with the next step.
v Yes: Go to step 5 (See page 462).
2. Is there a range of card positions (PCI Bridge Set) listed in the SAL for this failing item?
v No: Continue with the next step.
v Yes: LIC could not identify the slot with the error. Perform "Bus PIP MAB-03" on page 95 to
determine the card position with the failure.
This ends the procedure.
3. Record the Direct Select Address (DSA) which is word 7 of the SRC from the SAL display.
4. Examine the muti-adapter bridge function number in the DSA. See "DSA breakdown" on page 63 in the
Bus PIP Overview page.
Is the multi-adapter bridge function number less than or equal to 7?
v Yes: Go to "Bus PIP PCIBUS-PIP1" on page 99. Return here after locating the card.
v No: LIC could not identify the slot with the error. Perform "Bus PIP MAB-03" on page 95 to
determine the card position with the failure.
This ends the procedure.
5. Does the SRC that sent you here appear more than once, OR does any other SRC with this symbolic
FRU appear from the same IPL AND against the same resource?
v Yes: The failure is at the multi-adapter bridge. Do not use this symbolic FRU. Go to the next failing
item in the list.
This ends the procedure.
v No: Locate the message in the following table to determine the problem and the corrective action.
