The disk drive might be failing.
- Is the device location information available in the Service Action
Log?
- Find the direct select address and the device address. See System reference code
(SRC) address formats.
- See Finding
part locations and find the diagram of the system unit or expansion
unit. Use the direct select address and the device address to find the location
of the disk unit.
- Is the SRC reported on the control panel?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: See Hardware
SRC formats. The two rightmost characters of word 2 define the SRC
format. Use the correct SRC format to locate the function that contains the
characters tttt lmmm, where:
- tttt = Type number
- l = Level
- mmm = Model
Then go to step 6.
- Remove the disk unit to determine the part
number. To exchange the disk drive, see Disk unit recovery procedures. This ends the procedure.
- Using the type information, go to Part number catalog to determine
the part number. If you do not know the type, remove the disk unit to determine
the part number. To exchange the disk drive, see Disk unit recovery procedures.
