PIOCARD

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 PCI adapter or IOP card location is listed with this FRU?
   • No: Complete the following steps:
     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 or IOP card FRU (MABIP53 is also available in the service information for the server). Return here after locating the FRU and continue with the next step.
   • Yes: The error is located at the listed PCI adapter or IOP card location. Go to step5.
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. Complete the following steps for each FRU location that you determined in the previous step:
   1. Remove all of the adapter or IOP cards in the locations that are identified in the given range of PCI adapter or IOP card slots. Do not remove any FRUs with embedded adapters, only FRUs in PCI adapter or IOP card slots.
   2. Replace each card one at a time.

      Note: For IBM® i® 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 adapter or IOP card. This ends the procedure.
4. Did you identify a FRU with embedded adapters (for example a system backplane or an I/O backplane) 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 replace that FRU.
5. Use the table below to locate the failing item(s).

   Note: For multiple-drawer servers, 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).
