BACKPLN

A backplane or a connection to the backplane might be failing.

Note: Before replacing any parts, verify the connections to the backplane.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Were you sent here by a power reference code (1xxxxxxx)?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: Go to SYSBKPL. This ends the procedure.
  2. Determine the location of the device by performing the following steps:
    1. Use the location information in the error log if it is available. If no location information for the device is available, use the location information for the I/O adapter instead.
    2. If no location information is available for either the device or the I/O adapter, find the address of the device or I/O adapter (see the System reference code format description). Use the address to find the location. See Part locations and location codes.
    3. Use the location code to determine in which unit the device, cable, and the connected backplane are located. Any backplane connecting the device or I/O adapter might be the cause of the problem. 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, 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.
      • System midplane
      • I/O backplane
      • Un-P1
      • Un-P2
      520C 5796, 7314-G30 See System parts. I/O backplane Un-P1

      This ends the procedure.
