FWPCI3

If you receive symbolic FRU FWPCI3, do one of the following procedures.

  1. If the location code identifies a PCI card slot:
    1. Check the cabling to the adapter (in particular, the adapters that have system ports). System ports might require null modems or special cabling configurations to avoid connecting driver outputs together. This might create a PCI power problem and force the adapter to be de-configured.
    2. Move the adapter to another slot (behind another PCI bridge). The PCI Adapter Placement document, order number SA76-0090, identifies the PCI Host Bridges (PHB) and associated slots.
    3. Check for adapter firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
    4. Replace the adapter. See Managing PCI Adapters, order number SA76-0092 for PCI adapter FRU part numbers.
    5. Check for platform firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
    6. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems), use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU):

      CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
        8204-E8A 10N9369 System backplane Un-P1
        9406-MMA, 9117-MMA 42R7352 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5790, 7311-D11 80P6626 I/O backplane Un-P1
        0595, 5095, 7311-D20 39J0515 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5796, 7314-G30 10N7677 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5094 39J3058 I/O backplane Un-CB1

  2. If the location identifies an I/O backplane:
    1. Check for platform firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
    2. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems), use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU):

      CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
        8204-E8A 10N9369 System backplane Un-P1
        9406-MMA, 9117-MMA 42R7352 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5790, 7311-D11 80P6626 I/O backplane Un-P1
        0595, 5095, 7311-D20 39J0515 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5796, 7314-G30 10N7677 I/O backplane Un-P1
        5094 39J3058 I/O backplane Un-CB1

This ends the procedure.
