System disabled actions

These explain the causes of problems and the actions needed to return the card to an enabled state following system disabling.

SYSTEM DISABLED—NOT RESPONDING

Cause: The MSDL card is not installed or is unable to respond to the messages from the system.

Action:

Check the MSDL messages on the console and take the action recommended. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311).

Verify that the address switches on the MSDL are set correctly.

Verify that the card is properly installed in the shelf for at least 5 minutes.

If the problem persists, manually disable the card by entering the

DIS MSDL x. Follow the steps described in “Previously operating

MSDL cards” on page 408.
