PCI Module(ID:n/m)

PCI Module contains the following information:

The MTBF information is displayed only when the [<MTBF Info>] button is pressed.

Item

Description

Status

Status of the PCI module

MTBF Information contains the following information:

Item

Description

Type

Monitoring state of MTBF.

 

Use Threshold: MTBF is calculated at a fault occurrence. The device is stopped

 

when the calculated value is lower than the threshold.

 

Never Restart: Always stops the device at a fault occurrence.

 

Always Restart: Always restarts the device at a fault occurrence.

Threshold

Threshold of MTBF.

Current

Current MTBF value.

Faults

Number of faults

Time of last fault

Time of the last fault.

 

When there is none, “--” is displayed.

Diagnostics Information contains the following information:

Item

Description

Time of last run

Time and date of the last diagnostics execution

Message

Message from the diagnostics result

Test No.

Test number from the diagnostics result

The following buttons are displayed for PCI Module:

Item

Description

MTBF Info

Displays MTBF information

Clear

Clears the MTBF information of the PCI module

Up

Starts the PCI module.

 

The CPU module of the same module must be stopped when starting the PCI

 

module. When the CPU module of the same module is running, stop the CPU

 

module and then start it after starting the PCI module.

Down

Stops the PCI module.

 

Depending on a module state, a screen will go off temporarily. Also, USB

 

devices such as a keyboard and a mouse may not be available for a few

 

minutes. However, a system continues operating.

 

You cannot stop the module when the FT status LED is not illuminating green

 

(when the server is not duplicated).

Diagnose

Executes diagnostics of the CPU module on the same module as the PCI

 

module. To perform diagnostics, both CPU and PCI modules on the module

 

needs to be stopped.

*(1) The execution of each button may take a few minutes. Wait for a while to update the display and check the module status.

(2)These operations cannot be performed while collecting dump or updating firmware. Wait until such processing is finished to perform the operations in the table.
