PIOCARD

The multi-adapter bridge 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. Does the reference code start with B7xx?
    • Yes: Perform the following:
      1. Record the DSA, which is word 7 of the reference code.
      2. Locate the card specified in the DSA by going to MABIP53. Return here after locating the FRU and continue with the next step.
    • No: Continue with the next step..
  2. Are you working from the serviceable event view and a card location is listed with this FRU?
    • Yes: The error is located at the listed card location. Go to step 6.
    • 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 going to MABIP53. Return here after locating the FRU and continue with the next step.
  3. Did you identify a single FRU location by using MABIP53?
    • Yes: This is the location of the failing item. Go to step 6.
    • No: Continue with the next step.
  4. Perform the following, referring to the remove and replace procedures for each FRU location you determined (you can find links to the locations information, and from there to the remove and replace procedures, in the table at the end of this procedure):
    1. Remove all of the adapter and/or 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/OS® adapters controlled by IOPs, replace the IOP before any of the adapters.
      Power on the unit (as instructed in the remove and replace procedure indicated by following the link in the following table) after you replace each card until either the problem reappears or you have replaced each card.
    3. Did the problem reappear?
      • Yes: The last card that you replaced before the problem appeared again is the failing item. This ends the procedure.
      • No: Continue with the next step.
  5. Did you identify a FRU with embedded adapters when performing MABIP53?
    • Yes: The problem is in the FRU with the embedded adapter. Continue with the next step and exchange that FRU.
    • No: The problem may be intermittent. Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
  6. Use the links in the table below to locate and replace the failing item(s).
