FWPCI2

Look here for information about FWPCI2 symbolic FRU.

If you receive FWPCI2 symbolic FRU perform the following procedure.

  1. If the location code identifies a slot:
    1. Check for adapter firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
    2. Check the cabling to the adapter (in particular, the adapters that have serial ports). Serial ports might require null modems or special cabling configurations to avoid connecting driver outputs together. This might create a PCI power problem and force the adapter to be de-configured.
    3. Use the hot plug service aid to re-seat the adapter specified by the location code. If re-seating the adapter fixes the problem, perform the repair checkout procedure. If the problem is not resolved, go to the next step.
    4. Use the hot plug task to move the adapter to another slot (behind another PCI bridge). PCI adapter placement for machine type 820x and 91xx identifies the PCI Host Bridges (PHB) and associated slots.
  2. If the adapter is successfully re-configured in the new slot (behind another PCI host bridge), the slot in which the adapter was originally plugged is bad. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems) assembly that contains the slot in which the adapter was plugged, use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU).
    CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
      8203-E4A, 8261-E4S, 9407-M15, 9408-M25 See System parts. System backplane Un-P1
      8204-E8A, 9409-M50 10N9369 System backplane Un-P1
      9406-MMA, 9117-MMA 42R7352 I/O backplane Un-P1
      5790, 7311-D11 80P6626 I/O backplane Un-P1
      0595, 5095, 7311-D20 39J0515 I/O backplane Un-P1
      5796, 7314-G30 See System parts. I/O backplane Un-P1
      5094, 5096, 5294, 5296 39J3058 I/O backplane Un-CB1
  3. Replace the adapter if the adapter does not successfully re-configure into the new slot. This ends the procedure.
  4. If the adapter is successfully re-configured in the new slot (behind another PCI host bridge), the slot in which the adapter was originally plugged is bad, replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems), use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU).
    CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code

      5790, 7311-D11 80P6626 I/O backplane Un-P1
      0595, 5095, 7311-D20 39J0515 I/O backplane Un-P1
      5796, 7314-G30 See System parts. I/O backplane Un-P1
      5094, 5096, 5294, 5296 39J3058 I/O backplane Un-CB1
  5. Replace the adapter if the adapter does not successfully re-configure into the new slot. This ends the procedure.
