FAIL The Packet Interface circuit pack on the active SPE has an error counter set.
The following error codes are possible: 256: Parity error 512: FIFO overflow
768: Parity error and FIFO overflow error
1. If error code 256 or 768 is reported the Packet Interface circuit pack
received a parity error off the Packet Bus.
a. First check for alarms logged ag ainst the Packet Bus. Refer to the
PKT-BUS maintenance documentation to clear those errors first.
b. Then check for alarms and errors logged against other circuit packs
connected to the Packet bus in the Processor Port Network cabinet. A
list of packet circuit packs is presented in the first section of this repair
procedure. Refer to the repair procedures for those circuit packs, in this
manual, to clear those errors first.
c. If the system is not equipped with the High Reliability or Critical
Reliability Configuration, replace the circuit pack at a time that would
cause the least disrup tion of service. The circuit p ack is still functional
but should be replaced.
d. If the system is equipped with the High Reliability or Critical Reliability
Configuration and if the Packet Interface circuit pack is on the standby
SPE, replace that circuit pack.
e. If the system is equipped with the High Reliability or Critical Reliability
Configuration and if the Packet Interface circuit pack is on the active
SPE, perform a planned SPE interchange by entering the command
reset system interchange. Replace the circuit pack on the standby
SPE.

(cont’d.)
2. If error code 512 or 768 is reported for a Packet Interface on an active
SPE, the receive FIFO in the PKT-INT has overflowed. This may be an
indication that additional Packet Interface circuit pac ks are required. For
the current hardware configuration, only one Packet Interface circuit pack
is allowed so the problem should be escalated if the repair steps p resented
below do not correct the problem. Retry the command after a one minute
delay and if the test continues to fail:
a. If the system is equipped with the High Reliability or Critical Reliability
Configuration and if the Packet Interface circuit pack is on the active
SPE, perform a planned SPE interchange by entering the command
reset system interchange. Replace the circuit pack
b. ) Otherwise, (the system is not equipped with the High Reliability or
Critical Reliability Configuration) replace the circuit pack at a time that
would cause the least service disruption.
3. If error code 512 or 768 is reported for a Packet Interface on a standby
SPE, replace the Packet Interface circuit pack.
