Very Computer

I'm setting up a used J50 box.  Not having done an AIX box before, I am
RTFM'ing and not finding the following error that displays on the LED:

888-103-409-022

I've searched the Diag Info manual and found errors starting with 887
and 889, but no 888.  I've also found no twelve digit errors.

Since the 888 falls between sections on the MB and SCSI adapter, I
checked the how both are seated and they appear to be OK.

Add'l info:  only 102 and 162 show on LED before 888 msg comes up and
stays.  888 is flashing.

Any ideas?

Thanx,

BV

following type 103 or 105 errors are SRN #s  the numbers specify location
codes for FRUs
they can be found in the Common Diagnostics and Service Guide.

409 -
022 -

Die dulci fruere.

An 888 reflects a system crash.  A 103 error is most likely a hardware error.
The last 2 sets of numbers are your SRN, you should consult your diagnostic guide
to translate the SRN and also call your hardware service people.

The 888 do show a system crash.  The 103 is hardware indicator.  A 102 would
indiacte a software problem.

The 409-022 code says:

"No response from none of the present CPUs."

Probable causes are:
        1. Bad CPU card(s)
        2. Bad System Planar

The book indicates that if you more than one CPU card installed (more than a
2-way SMP configuration), the sysplanar is a more likely culprit.

Looking this up in the SRN section of the "Diagnostic Information for Micro
Channel Bus Systems"
manual, which can be found online with other docs at this starting URL:

    http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource

Gives this description:

Description: No response from any of the present CPUs.

Note: Location codes of missing or deconfigured modules are not displayed.
Action: Replace the faulty parts indicated by the FFC. If more than one CPU
module is present, it is recommended to begin the substitution with the
other
listed FFCs. If the symptom does not change, go to MAP 1540.

You can try reseating your CPU cards, otherwise you need to get your IBM
hardware service reps involved.
