FWCONS

The console display might be failing.

If your server has an attached console, but the console display is not working, see the documentation for the display or try substituting a known good display for the one that is failing.

If you can see selection screens on the terminals, press the appropriate key on the input device within 60 seconds. If the console does not respond to the keystroke:

If you are selecting the console with a keyboard attached to the system, replace the keyboard, see the service documentation for the system unit for keyboard part numbers. If the keyboard does not fix the problem, replace the service processor. Use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU).

CCIN or FFC	Type and model	Part number	Description	Location code
	8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D, 8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8236-E8C, 8268-E1D	See System parts.	System backplane (integrated service processor card)	U`n`-P1
	8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, 8412-EAD, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD	See System parts.	Service processor card	U`n`-P1-C1

If you need additional information for failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to find additional location codes, part numbers, or replacement procedures for your system.

If you are selecting the console with an ASCII terminal, suspect the terminal. Use the problem determination procedures for the terminal.
Note: The ASCII terminal settings should be:
- 19,200 baud
- No parity
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
This ends the procedure.
