Core I/O Troubleshooting
The Core I/O for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 computer systems are provided by two different cards. The make
up of the individual core I/O cards can be seen in the block diagrams located in Appendix B. The Core I/O
card is an FRU, so any failure of a component located on the core I/O card requires the replacement of the
core I/O card. The only replaceable components of the core I/O card is the Internal Modem (both 3000 and
9000), audio card (HP VISUALIZE Kx60 workstations), and the Optional I/O (9000 only) slot.
Integrated Access Port
The Integrated Access Port (IAP) is a component of both (3000 and 9000) Core I/O cards. The IAP executes
a selftest at power on, or a user initiated selftest (TA) can be launched from the Access Port Commands list
of commands, located in Appendix B. Table 3-13. on page 3-20 is a list of Informational and error messages
associated with the IAP:
