RIO/HSL/12X connection problems

The failing component is the RIO/HSL/12X connection

1. Choose from the following:
   • If you were sent to this procedure from another symbolic FRU, locate that FRU in Table 1 to see the description of the RIO/HSL/12X FRU. Then continue with the next step for more information about the FRU.
   • If you are working with this symbolic FRU in the FRU list, the failing component is an RIO/HSL/12X connection. Diagnostic code could not determine what kind of hardware was involved. The RIO/HSL/12X hardware can be any of the following:
     • Cable
     • Embedded RIO/HSL/12X link in a FRU (a planar, for example)
     • RIO/HSL/12X interposer card
     The RIO/HSL/12X link is on or between the other FRU or FRUs listed for the reference code. Continue with the next step.

   Table 1. RIO/HSL symbolic FRUs

   RIO/HSL FRU	Description
   HSL_OPT	This is an optical RIO/HSL cable. When exchanging optical RIO/HSL cables, use the optical cleaning kit and procedures. See Fiber-optic cleaning procedures for details. If an interposer card is called for, be sure the interposer type matches the cable type (optical or copper).
   HSL1	There is a standard copper RIO/HSL cable at both ends (yellow connectors).
   HSL1_UN	There is a standard copper RIO/HSL cable (yellow connector) at the detecting end, and an unknown connector type at the other end.
   HSL2	There is a copper HSL2/RIO-G cable at both ends (black connectors), but the length of the cable could not be sensed.
   HSL2_xx	There is a copper HSL2/RIO-G cable at both ends (black connectors). Use the xx value to determine the cable length from this list: HSL2_01 = 1 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_03 = 3 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_08 = 8 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_10 = 10 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_15 = 15 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_17 = 1.75 meter HSL2 cable HSL2_25 = 2.5 meter HSL2 cable
   HSLH	There is a hybrid RIO/HSL to HSL2/RIO-G cable (yellow connector at one end and black connector at the other end), but the length of the cable could not be sensed.
   HSL_IB	This is an 12X cable (green connectors).
   HSLH_xx	There is a hybrid RIO/HSL to HSL2/RIO-G cable (yellow connector at one end and black connector at the other end). Use the xx value to determine the cable length from this list: HSLH_06 = 6 meter HSL/RIO to HSL2/RIO-G cable HSLH_15 = 15 meter HSL/RIO to HSL2/RIO-G cable
   HSL_I	There is a RIO/HSL interposer card for HSL/RIO cables (yellow connectors), HSL2/RIO-G cables (black connectors), or optical cables. The interposer card type could not be sensed.
   HSL_I2 HSL_I3 HSL_I4	There is a RIO/HSL interposer card for HSL/RIO cables (yellow connectors), HSL2/RIO-G cables (black connectors), or optical cables. Use the x value to determine the interposer card type from this list: HSL_I2 = Copper HSL2/RIO-G interposer card for HSL2/RIO-G cable connectors (black) in the system unit backplane position C08 or C09 of machine type 9406 model 825. HSL_I3 = Optical HSL/RIO interposer card for optical RIO/HSL cables in system unit backplane position C08 or C09 of machine type 9406 model 825. HSL_I4 = HSL2/RIO-G interposer/riser card on a 7040-61D I/O unit in location -P1-Riser or -P2-(Riser).

2. Choose from the following options:
   • If you are working from the serviceable event view, the location code or FRU description in the view will help determine the actual RIO/HSL/12X hardware to exchange. Continue with the next step.
   • If you are not working from the serviceable event view, or the view does not have a location code or better FRU description, then determine the location code of other FRUs in the FRU list for the error. Then continue with the next step.
3. Use the location code and the information from the preceding table to determine the machine type, model, or unit feature involved in the error. If necessary, use the location code for other FRUs listed in the FRU list for this error to determine the failing RIO/HSL/12X connection and any related FRUs that are part of that connection. Use System FRU locations to find links to the locations information. Refer to the Parts Information chapter of the Service Guide for the failing machine type/model for part number information.
   Note: If you exchange all of the FRUs in the FRU list, but the problem still exists, contact your next level of support. You may be directed to exchange additional RIO/HSL/12X FRUs. Additional RIO/HSL FRUs has more information about RIO/HSL/12X FRUs on specific models and I/O units.
