MABIP53

Use this procedure to determine a card position when the location of the PCI adapter is not available in the failing item list of a serviceable event.

1. Are system service tools (SST) or dedicated service tools (DST) available?
   • No: You cannot identify a card position by using SST or DST. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
   • Yes: Continue with the next step.
2. If you were sent to this procedure with a specific direct select address (DSA), then use it. Otherwise, use the DSA in the reference code. For information about finding the DSA in the system reference code words, see DSA translation. The bus number is the 4 leftmost characters of the 8 character DSA. Convert the bus number portion of the DSA from the hexadecimal to the decimal format so that it can be used in SST or DST.
3. Complete the following steps:
   1. Log in to SST or DST.
   2. Select Start a service tool > Hardware service manager > Logical hardware resources > System bus resources.
   3. Move the cursor to a system bus resource and select Display detail for each bus until you find the bus number, which is in decimal format, that was identified in step 2.
   4. Record the type-model location information for the frame or unit type.
   5. Continue with the next step.
4. From the System bus resources display, select Include non-reporting resources. Type the decimal bus number in the System bus(es) to work with field and press Enter. Then, continue with the next step.
5. From the Logical Hardware Resources on System Bus display, examine the status of all the resources under the bus and locate a failed resource.
   • To examine the status of the IOAs, select Resources associated with IOP for each IOP under the bus.
   • To determine the card position of a failed resource, select Associated packaging resources > Display detail and record the unit ID and the part number.

   Did you find any failed resources?

   • Yes: Select Associated packaging resources and press Enter. Select Display detail and press Enter. Record the physical location information for the card position you identified. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
   • No: You cannot identify a card position by using SST or DST. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
