Chapter 3. Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs)
This chapter contains Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs) for the system.
Notes:
1. If you replace a FRU, go to "MAP 0410: Repair Checkout" in the RS/6000 Eserver
pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems to verify correct system
operation.
2. When possible, run online diagnostics in service mode. Online diagnostics perform
additional functions compared to standalone diagnostics. This ensures that the error
state of the system that has been captured in nonvolatile random access memory
(NVRAM) is available for your use in fixing the problem. The AIX error log and SMIT
are only available when diagnostics are run from the hard drive.
3. If more than eight digits are displayed in the operator panel, use only the first eight
digits to find the error in the tables. The digits that display beyond the first eight
digits are location codes that can assist you in diagnosing the problem. See
"Location Codes" on page 14.
4. Licensed programs frequently rely on system information stored on the vital product
data (VPD) on the operator panel control assembly. If the MAPs indicate that the
operator panel should be replaced, update the VPD as described in "System Vital
Product Data (VPD) Update Procedure" on page 288.
5. If a network adapter or the system board is replaced, the network administrator
must be notified so that the client IP addresses used by the server can be changed.
In addition, the operating system configuration of the network controller might need
to be changed in order to enable system startup. Also check to ensure that any
client or server that addresses this system is updated.
6. If you are not able to isolate the problem, try loading standalone diagnostics from
the CD-ROM or NIM.
