POWER7 information

Failing function code B88

The SCSI I/O controller might be failing.

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
B88 Any   Generic SCSI I/O controller
Note:
  1. If the failing FRU for this FFC is PCI(x), where x is the PCI bus number, 0, 1, and so forth, see FFC 221.
  2. Use the location code to identify the failing FRU. If the failing FRU is integrated on the system backplane, use FFC 221. If the failing FRU is not integrated on the system backplane, replace the FRU identified by its description that is shown with the location code for SCSI and SCSI-2 adapter. Choose the FFC for the appropriate SCSI I/O controller.
  3. Check the SCSI controller fuse or PTC resistor before exchanging the system board. See the SCSI-2 Single-Ended adapter PTC Failure Isolation Procedure in the SCSI service hints.
  4. Check that the SCSI disable jumper is in the enabled position.
  5. Check the FRU part number of the installed external terminator. The low density FRU part number is 51G7736. The high density FRU part number is 51G7737.
 

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.
