FWPCI2

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 unconfigured.
   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 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
   	8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the system backplane	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
   	8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the PCI riser card feature (if installed)	See System parts.	PCI riser card	Un-P1-C1
   	8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8236-E8C, 8268-E1D	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
   	8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, 8412-EAD, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P2
   	5796, 7314-G30	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P1

   If you need additional information for failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to find additional location codes, part numbers, or replacement procedures for your system.

3. Replace the adapter if the adapter does not successfully re-configure into the new slot. This ends the procedure.
