If no address information is available in the console error message, check the product activity log
(PAL) entry that is associated with the console error message. The following figures show examples
of a PAL display for a storage device. Other devices (for example, workstations or communications)
have similar displays. For more information about the PAL, see "Using the product activity log" on
page 23 in "Service functions" on page 61.
