MA_BRDG

The problem is the multi-adapter bridge hardware on a system bus.

Perform the following:

  1. Is the location information for this failing component available in the problem view you are working with of the serviceable event user interface of an operating system, service processor, or Hardware Management Console (HMC)?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: Use this location information and go to step 3.
  2. Perform the following:
    1. Record the bus number, which is in word 7 of the reference code (see Breaking down a RIO/HSL or PCI bus reference code for help in determining the bus number).
    2. To determine which enclosure, frame, or I/O unit contains the failing component, search for the bus number using one of the following interfaces:
      • HMC system configuration user interface
      • i5/OS® Hardware Service Manager (HSM)
      • System configuration listing
    3. Record the enclosure or unit's type/model or feature. Then continue with the next step.
  3. The failing component is the FRU containing the multi-adapter bridge. Use the following table to identify the name of the FRU that is indicated by the location in the user interface you are working with, or by using the bus number you obtained previously in this procedure. Use the link to locations information to exchange the FRU.
