PIOCARD

The hardware that controls PCI adapters and PCI card slots detected an error.

The failing component is the adapter in the location specified by the Direct Select Address (DSA) in the reference code. When possible, the diagnostic code will determine the FRU location for the serviceable event view.

  1. Are you working from the serviceable event view and a card location is listed with this FRU?
    • No: Perform the following:
      1. Record the DSA, which is word 7 of the reference code.
      2. Locate the card specified in the DSA by performing the MABIP53 isolation procedure. Use the MABIP53 procedure to determine a card position when no location is given for a PCI adapter FRU (MABIP53 is also available in the service guide for the server). Return here after locating the FRU and continue with the next step.
    • Yes: The error is located at the listed card location. Go to step 5.

  2. Did you identify a single FRU location by using MABIP53 isolation procedure?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: This is the location of the failing item. Go to step 5.

  3. Perform the following, for each FRU location that you determined in the previous step:
    1. Remove all of the adapter cards and IOP cards in the locations that are identified in the given range of card slots. Do not remove any FRUs with embedded adapters, only FRUs in PCI card slots.
    2. Replace each card one at a time.

      Note: For i5/OSR adapters controlled by IOPs, replace the IOP before any of the adapters.

      Power on the unit after you replace each card until either the problem reappears or you have replaced each card.

    3. Did the problem reappear?
      • No: Continue with the next step.
      • Yes: The last card that you replaced before the problem appeared again is the failing item. Replace the PCI card, refer to Managing PCI Adapters, order number SA76-0092, for PCI adapter FRU part numbers. This ends the procedure.

  4. Did you identify a FRU with embedded adapters when performing the MABIP53 isolation procedure?
    • No: The problem might be intermittent. Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: The problem is in the FRU with the embedded adapter. Continue with the next step and exchange that FRU.

  5. Use the table below to locate the failing item(s).

    For each unit, starting with the primary unit and then the secondary units, use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU):
