FWPCI3

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 receive symbolic FRU FWPCI3, do one of the following procedures.

1. If the location code identifies a PCI card slot:
   1. Check the cabling to the adapter (in particular, the adapters that have system ports). System ports might require null modems or special cabling configurations to avoid connecting driver outputs together. This might create a PCI power problem and force the adapter to be de-configured.
   2. Move the adapter to another slot (behind another PCI bridge). PCI adapter placement identifies the PCI Host Bridges (PHB) and associated slots.
   3. Check for adapter firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
   4. Replace the adapter. See Managing PCI adapters for PCI adapter FRU part numbers.
   5. Check for platform firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
   6. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems), 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 with failing slot on the system backplane	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
      	8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the PCI riser card feature (if installed)	See System parts.	PCI riser card	Un-P1-C1
      	8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8236-E8C, 8268-E1D	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
      	8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, 8412-EAD, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P2
      	5796, 7314-G30	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P1

2. If the location identifies an I/O backplane:
   1. Check for platform firmware updates. Apply the update if one is available.
   2. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems), 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 with failing slot on the system backplane	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
      	8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the PCI riser card feature (if installed)	See System parts.	PCI riser card	Un-P1-C1
      	8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8236-E8C, 8268-E1D	See System parts.	System backplane	Un-P1
      	8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, 8412-EAD, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P2
      	5796, 7314-G30	See System parts.	I/O backplane	Un-P1

This ends the procedure.
