System Reference Code A6005008 And B6005008 - IBM E Server i Series Manual

System reference code A6005008 and B6005008

Use this table if you received reference codes A6005008 or B6005008. If an IPL did
not find a console and if the console type is set to anything except a 1, the system
will display code A6005008 or B6005008.
v If you are attempting to use a twinaxial console the only data relevant in this
v If you are attempting to use Operations Console select the appropriate section in

SRC is word 16. Use the table below to determine the twinaxial failure. The first
4 characters of this word contains the last 4 characters of the original failure
type. For example, if word 16 contained 50010001, the twinaxial-related SRC
code would be A6005001 and the console type is set to use a twinaxial console.
the table below as follows:
– Local console on a network uses words 13, 14, and 15.
– Local console directly attached to the server uses words 17, 18, and 19.
(LAN), you need to wait at least 35 minutes for the server to find and use
the new LAN adapter card. In this case, once the server is satisfied it will
start using the new adapter, the console should start and the reference code
will go away.
