  • Step 0260-1

    The last three or four digits of the SRN following the dash (-) match a failing function code number.

    Look at the System parts and find the failing function code that matches the last three or four digits of your SRN, following the dash. Record the FRU part number and description (use the first FRU part listed when multiple FRUs are listed).

    The location information or device name is displayed on the operator panel.

    Do you have a location code displayed?
    No
    Go to Step 0260-4.
