BACKPLN

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

Note: Before you replace 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. Is the system a 9080-M9S?
    • Yes: If the first four digits of the reference code that sent you here represent the CCIN of an I/O adapter, go to PCIEXTN. Otherwise, continue with the next step. This ends the procedure.
    • No: Continue with the next step.
  3. Determine the location of the backplane by completing one of the following steps:
    • Use the location information for the backplane in the serviceable event view if it is available.
    • If there is no location information for the backplane in the serviceable event view, but there is location information for an I/O adapter, device, or other failing item, use the Un-Px portion of the location to determine the backplane location.
    • If there is no location information in the serviceable event view, but there is a PCI adapter in the failing item list, find the address of the I/O adapter (see the System reference code format description). Use the address to find the location. See Addresses. Use the Un-Px portion of the I/O adapter location to determine the backplane location.
  4. Use the location code to determine in which unit the backplane is located. Any backplane that connects 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).
    Type and model Part number Description Location code
    5105-22E, 9008-22L, 9009-22A, 9009-22G, 9009-41A, 9009-41G, 9009-42A, 9009-42G, 9223-22H, 9223-22S, 9223-42H, or 9223-42S See System parts.
