Use this procedure to recover from a B7xx 6985 high speed link
(HSL) failure.
- Work with the customer to determine if a system or I/O unit on
the RIO loop has powered down normally.
- Was a system or I/O unit on the loop powered down normally?
- No: Go to 4.
- Yes: The loop remains in a failed state until
all systems and I/O units on the loop are powered on and functioning. Work
with the customer to determine if all the powered down systems and units on
the loop can be powered on. After all system and units on the loop are powered
on, check to determine if the RIO loop is complete. To determine if the RIO/HSL loop has recovered, record
the RIO/HSL loop number in
the first four characters of word 7 of this SRC and perform RIOIP10.
- Did the RIO loop recover?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Close the problem. This ends the
procedure.
- In the serviceable event view, search for a B700
6981 or a B700 6986 error logged at approximately the same time and on the
same RIO loop (the first four characters of word 7 are the same).
- Did you find a serviceable event with a 1xxx xxxx SRC?
- No: Go to 7
- Yes: Work that problem. After you have repaired
that error, the RIO/HSL loop
may be recovered. After you complete working that problem, return to this
procedure and check to determine if correcting that problem also corrected
the RIO/HSL error. To determine
if the HSL/RIO loop has recovered, record the RIO/HSL loop
number in the first four characters of word 7 of this SRC and perform RIOIP10.
- Did the RIO loop recover?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Close the problem. This ends the
procedure.
- In the serviceable event view, search for a B700
6981 or B700 6986 error logged at approximately the same time and on the same
RIO loop (the first four characters of word 7 are the same).
- Did you find a B700 6981 or a B700 6986 error logged at approximately
the same time and on the same RIO loop?
- No: Go to 10.
- Yes: Work that problem. After you have repaired
that error, the RIO/HSL loop
may be recovered. After you complete working that problem, return to this
procedure and check to determine if correcting that problem also corrected
the RIO/HSL error. To determine
if the RIO/HSL loop has recovered,
record the RIO/HSL loop number
in the first four characters of word 7 of this SRC and perform RIOIP10.
- Did the RIO loop recover?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Close the problem. This ends the
procedure.
- Search for a system or IO unit on the RIO loop
that has not powered up as expected.
- Did you find a system or IO unit on the RIO loop that has not powered
up as expected?
- No: Go to 13.
- Yes: Go to Cannot power on SPCN-controlled I/O expansion unit and
work that power symptom. Use the first half of word 7 to determine the loop
number for later use. After you have repaired that error, the RIO/HSL loop
may be recovered. After you complete working that power symptom, return to
this procedure and check to determine if correcting that problem also corrected
the RIO/HSL error. To determine
if the RIO/HSL loop has recovered,
record the RIO/HSL loop number
in the first four characters of word 7 of this SRC and perform RIOIP10.
- Did the RIO loop recover?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Close the problem. This ends the
procedure.
- Using the FRU list that you are working with
for this SRC, exchange one FRU at a time. After you exchange each
FRU, determine if the loop has recovered. To determine if the RIO/HSL loop
has recovered, record the RIO/HSL loop
number in the first four characters of word 7 of this SRC and perform RIOIP10. After the loop recovers or after you
have exchanged all the FRUs, continue with the next step.
- Did the RIO loop recover?
- No: Contact your next level of support. This
ends the procedure.
- Yes: Close the problem. This ends the
procedure.
