Verifying Scalability And Rxe Cabling - IBM eServer 445 xSeries Hardware Maintenance Manual And Troubleshooting Manual

Verifying scalability and RXE cabling

This section describes the procedure to verify scalability and RXE cabling on a
16-way configuration. Begin the procedure by viewing the connections in each
8-way system:
From the diagnostic program main menu, select
1. Hardware Info
2. Summit Chips
A screen similar to the following is shown:
The information in the columns indicates:
1. The name of each port
2. The item the port is connected to
3. Whether the port is external or internal
4. Whether the port is it ready to operate
5. Whether the port has a cable attached to it
6. The port speed
7. Whether there are "transmit errors" posted by the chip
8. Whether there are "receive errors" posted by the chip
9. The number of "receive errors" (since the count was last cleared)
