RIOIP08

Starting with the unit ID and RIO/HSL/12X port for one end of an RIO/HSL/12X cable, determine the unit ID and port location for the other end.

  1. Sign on to SST or to DST if you have not already done so.
  2. Select Start a Service Tool -> Hardware Service Manager -> Logical Hardware Resources -> High Speed Link (HSL) Resources.
  3. Move the cursor to the RIO/HSL/12X loop that you want to examine, and select Resources associated with loop -> Include non-reporting resources. The display that appears shows the loop resource and all the "HSL I/O Bridge" and all the "Remote HSL NIC" resources connected to the loop.
  4. Perform the following for each of the HSL I/O Bridge resources listed until you are directed to do otherwise.
    1. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O Bridge resource and select Associated packaging resource(s).
    2. Compare the unit ID on the display with the unit ID (in hexadecimal format) that you started with.

      Are the unit IDs the same?

      • Yes: Continue with the next step.
      • No: Select Cancel to return to the Logical Hardware Associated with HSL Loops display. Repeat this for each HSL I/O Bridge under the loop, until you are directed to do otherwise.
  5. Perform the following:
    1. Select Associated logical resource(s).
    2. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O Bridge resource and select Display detail.
    3. Examine the Leading port and Trailing port information. Search the display for the RIO/HSL/12X port location label that you recorded prior to starting this procedure. If the label is part of the information for the Leading port, then select Follow leading port. If the label is part of the information for the Trailing port, then select Follow trailing port.
    4. Perform the step below that matches the function you selected in the previous step:
      • If you selected Follow leading port, then examine the display for the Trailing port information. Record, on the worksheet that you are using, the RIO/HSL/12X port location label shown on the "Trailing port from previous resource" line. Record this information as the "To HSL Port Label".
      • If you selected Follow trailing port, then examine the display for the Leading port information. Record, on the worksheet that you are using, the RIO/HSL/12X port location label on the "Leading port to next resource" line. Record this information as the"To HSL Port Label".
    5. Record the "Link type" (Copper or Optical) on the worksheet that you are using in the field describing the cable type.
    6. Select Cancel -> Cancel -> Cancel to return to the Logical Hardware Associated With HSL Loops" display.
    7. Record the resource name on the display.
    8. Move the cursor to the resource with the resource name you recorded in step 5g.
    9. Select Associated packaging resource(s).
    10. Record the unit ID.
    11. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
