Attempt to find the error code that originally sent you to the "Checkpoint and Error Code Index" on page
134.
1. If you can not find the error code in the service processor error log, start with the error code at the
bottom of the list. Proceed to step 3 below.
2. If you can find the error code in the service processor error log, observe the time stamps and look for
a group of failures that happened within minutes prior to this error code. In this group, start at the error
code with the earliest time stamp. Proceed to step 3.
3. Examine the list of error codes you obtained from step 1 or step2 and look for any of the form 4xxB
xxxx.
Can you find any error codes of the form 4xxB xxxx?
No
Proceed to step 6.
Yes
Proceed to step 4.
4. Do any of the error codes of the form 4xxB xxxx have the same first two characters on the left as the
first two characters on the left of the error code that sent you to the MAP?
No
Proceed to step 6.
Yes
Proceed to step 5.
5. Adjust the order of the list of error codes you obtained from steps 1 or 2 by placing the error codes of
the form 4xxB xxxx with the same first two characters as the error code that sent you to this MAP on
the bottom of the list. Start step 6 at the bottom of the adjusted list of error codes. Proceed to step 6.
6. To get a list of possible FRUs, select the detail screen for each error code. Record the listed location
codes and their order.
Note: If the error code that results from this procedure is 406x 0EA0, 406x 0EA1, 406x 0EA2, or 406x
0EA4, do not go back to the "Checkpoint and Error Code Index" on page 134 with this error
code. Look for a hardware error in the service processor error log of the form 450x yyyy, 460x
yyyy, or 4B2x yyyy that occurred just prior to the 406x 0EAy error. Use this hardware error code
instead when returning to the "Checkpoint and Error Code Index" on page 134.
Return to the step in the "Checkpoint and Error Code Index" on page 134 immediately after the step
that sent you to this "Confirming Initial Error Code" procedure to perform the listed repair actions. If the
repair actions for an error code are ineffective, continue to work upward through this group of error
codes (which is forward in time from the earliest time stamp to the latest) until either the problem is
fixed, you reach the error code that was first reported, or you are at the top of the list.
Four-Character Checkpoints
Four-character progress codes and checkpoints in the form 8xxx, 9xxx, Axxx, Bxxx, and Exxx are listed in
"Firmware Checkpoints" on page 114. If you have a four-character code that begins with any character
other than 8, 9, A, B, or E, refer to the RS/6000 Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus
Systems.
Replacing the Operator Panel
Licensed programs frequently rely on system information that is stored in the VPD module on the operator
panel. If the operator panel is replaced, the system VPD information is restored to the operator panel
when the system power is restored.
