MEXIP07

Use this procedure to resolve a problem with the expansion drawer cable topology of an expansion drawer.

The four rightmost characters of word 4 of the system reference code (SRC) represent the program reference code (PRC), which identifies the specific topology problem that was detected.
Notes:
On the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI), SRC words are known as hex words.
  • For 9080-HEX systems, you can display hex words by choosing Show details for the selected log.
  • For all other systems, you can display hex words by choosing a log and clicking the Export icon to see the details of the log. Alternatively, you can select the log and click Download additional data to display hex words for the selected log.

On the Hardware Management Console (HMC), SRC words are known as SRC extensions. You can display SRC extensions by choosing View Details for the selected serviceable event.

Use the SRC and the PRC in the following table to find the problem description and the service action to perform.

SRC PRC Problem description Service action
B7006A82 4105 The two expansion drawer cable connections from a cable adapter in the system unit to an expansion drawer are swapped. See MEXIP13.
B7006A82 4137 An expansion drawer cable connection from a cable adapter in the system unit is not connected to an I/O module or enclosure services manager in an expansion drawer. See MEXIP11.
B7006A82 4216 An expansion drawer cable connected to a cable adapter in the system unit is plugged into the wrong port of an expansion drawer. See MEXIP13.
B7006A83 410C During a concurrent maintenance operation, the I/O module type or enclosure services manager type in an expansion drawer changed. See MEXIP13.
B7006A83 410D During a concurrent maintenance operation, cable adapters in the system unit that were previously attached to the same expansion drawer are now attached to a different expansion drawer or to different expansion drawers. See MEXIP13.
B7006A83 413F During a concurrent maintenance operation, expansion drawer cables that were previously connected to a cable adapter in the system unit are no longer detected. See MEXIP17.
B7006A93 410F Expansion drawer cables are connected to a cable adapter in the system unit but the links are not operational. See MEXIP16.
B7006A9D 4107 An expansion drawer cable that was plugged into a cable adapter in the system unit is no longer detected. See MEXIP11.
B7006A9D 4116 An expansion drawer cable is not detected on one of the ports of a cable adapter in the system unit. See MEXIP11.
B7006A9D 413F During a concurrent maintenance operation, expansion drawer cables that were previously connected to a cable adapter in the system unit are no longer detected. See MEXIP17.
B7006A9D 4142 An expansion drawer cable that was plugged into a cable adapter in the system unit was unplugged. It is now plugged into a cable adapter in the system unit. Action is required to recover the expansion drawer. See MEXIP06.
B7006AA0 4104 Multiple systems are connected to the same expansion drawer. See MEXIP14.
B7006AA0 4106 The two expansion drawer cable connections from a cable adapter in the system unit to an expansion drawer are connected to two different expansion drawer I/O modules or enclosure services managers. See MEXIP13.
B7006AA0 4126 One of the ports on an I/O module or enclosure services manager in an expansion drawer is not connected to a cable adapter in the system unit. See MEXIP11.
B7006AA0 4142 One of the ports on an I/O module or enclosure services manager in an expansion drawer was not connected to a cable adapter in the system unit. The port is now connected to the cable adapter in the system unit. Action is required to recover the expansion drawer. See MEXIP06.
B7006AA1 4119 Both sideband signals in the expansion drawer cables from a cable adapter in a system unit to an I/O module or enclosure services manager in an expansion drawer are not operational. See MEXIP16.
B7006AA2 411B The lengths of the two expansion drawer cables from a cable adapter in the system unit to an expansion drawer do not match. See MEXIP15.
B7006AA2 4143 The two expansion drawer cable connections from a cable adapter in the system unit to an expansion drawer are not of the same type. See MEXIP15.
B7006AA3 410D During a concurrent maintenance operation, expansion drawer cables were connected to different I/O module ports or enclosure services manager ports in an expansion drawer. See MEXIP13.

This ends the procedure.
