Chapter 3. Error Code to FRU Index The Error Code to FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this index to help you decide which FRUs to replace when servicing the system. If the codes in the following tables indicate a device which is present more than once in the system unit, a location code is needed to specify which device generated the error.

Boot Problems and Concerns Depending on the boot device, a checkpoint may be displayed on the operator panel for an extended period of time while the boot image is retrieved from the device. This is particularly true for Tape and Network boot attempts. If booting from CD-ROM or tape, watch for activity on the drive's LED indicator.

4. It is possible that another installed adapter is causing the problem. Remove all installed adapters except the one the CD-ROM drive is attached to and the one used for the console. Try to boot the standalone diagnostics again. If unable to load standalone diagnostics, go to step 5 If standalone diagnostics load, re-install adapters (and attached devices as applicable) one at a time and retry the boot operation until the problem recurs.
Each location identifier consists of one alpha prefix character that identifies a location type, and a decimal integer number (typically one or two digits) that identifies a spe- cific instance of this location type. Certain location types may also support sec- 3-68 RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H Series Installation and Service Guide...
ondary sub-locations, which are indicated by appending a period (".") character and a sub-location instance number. Specifically, the format of a location code is defined as follows: pn[.n][- or /]pn[.n][- or /]... Where p is a defined alpha location type prefix, n is a location instance number, and [.n] is a sub-location instance number (where applicable).

Service Precautions Before performing any of the removal or replacement procedures in this chapter, read the following notices. DANGER An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system.
Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time. Handle the devices carefully in order to prevent permanent damage. RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H Series Installation and Service Guide...
Installing the Enterprise Server H Series CPU Drawer Into A Rack Unit Installing the Rear Stabilizer on the Rack Unit 1. Loosen the lower screws on the stabilizer assembly. 2. Slide the stabilizer assembly onto the bottom of the rack.
Installing Drawer Rails Notes: 1. The Enterprise Server H Series CPU Drawer must be installed in the topmost position of the rack unit, or have another drawer unit in the position immediately above it to prevent the drawer from tipping out of the rack unit while in the service position.
Page 261
This procedure is for installation in the topmost position in the rack unit. (See the illustration on the following page.) 1. If you have two top drawer guides to install, at the rear of the rack put nut clips in the 2nd and 3rd holes from the top on both sides. Then from the rear of the rack, install the two top drawer guides (the dimples on the front of the guide fit into the 1st and 3rd holes at the front).

5. Release the assembly by compressing the spring clip at each side of the assembly. 6. Remove the card by pushing it to the rear and pulling it up. 7-64 RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H Series Installation and Service Guide...
Replacement 1. Remove the VPD module from the old operator panel and insert it in the new operator panel. Make sure you insert the module in the same position as it was in the old panel. 2. To replace, perform removal steps in reverse order. 7-65 Chapter 7.
6. Note the locations of the cables that attach to the backplane card. 7. Disconnect the cables that attach to the backplane card. 8. Remove the card by pulling it up and out. 7-66 RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H Series Installation and Service Guide...
Replacement Replace in reverse order. If you installed a SCSI backplane, check the jumpers on the new backplane for proper setting. The jumpers should be set as shown. If you installed a SSA backplane, be sure to connect the internal SSA cable between the backplane and the internal connectors on the external SSA connector.

Appendix C. Service Processor Menus The Service Processor menus enable you to configure Service Processor options and to enable and disable functions. Service Processor menus are available using an ASCII terminal when the server is powered off and the Service Processor is operating with standby power. Service Processor menus are also available when server power is on and the Service Processor has detected a server problem (such as loss of surveillance).

Service Processor Menus The Service Processor menus are divided into two groups: General user menus - the user must know the general access password. Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged access password. The following section describes these two groups of menus, how to access them, and the functions associated with each option.
