Chapter 6.

Location Codes

The

7046

Model B50 uses physical location codes

in conjunction with AIX location

codes to provide mapping of

the

failing

field

replaceable units. The location cod

are produced by the system unit's

firmware

and

AIX.

Physical

Location

Codes

Physical

location codes provide a mapping

of

logical functions

in

a

platform

(or

expansion

sites

for

logical

functions,

such

as

connectors

or

ports)

to

their

speci

locations

within the physical structure of

the

platform.

Location

Code

Format

The

format for

the

location

code

is

a

string

of

alphanumeric

characters

separat

a

dash

(-),

slash

(/),

pound

sign

(#),

or

period

(.).

Ÿ

The

base

location

is

all

of the

information

before the

slash

(/)

or

pound

si

It

identifies

a

device

that

is

connected

or

plugged

into the

parent.

Ÿ Extended location information follows

the

slash

(/). It

identifies

a

device

tha

part

of

the

parent,

a

connector,

or

a cable.

ŸCable information follows the pound sign (#). It identifies a cable that is connected to the parent.

The following

are

examples:

P1-C1

Identifies

a

CPU

card C1

plugged

into

planar

P1.

P1-M1

Identifies

a

memory

card

M1

plugged into planar

P1.

P1-K1

Identifies

a keyboard attached to connector

K1

on

planar

P1.

P1/S1

Identifies

serial port 1 controller on planar

P1,

the

connector

for seria

1,

or

the

cable attached to connector S1.

P1-I2/E3

Identifies

Ethernet

controller

3 on

the

card

plugged

into

slot

2

(I2) o

planar

P1,

the connector for Ethernet controller

3,

or

the

cable

attached

Ethernet

controller

3.

P1-I2#E3Identifies the cable attached to Ethernet controller 3 plugged into slot (I2) on planar P1.

Sub-locations, such as memory modules on a base memory card or a specific SCSI address, are identified by a period (.). The following are examples:

P1-M1.4Identifies DIMM 4 on memory card 1 on planar 1.
