77. Is the leading port status of the HSL link from the first failing resource
″failed″?
Yes No
↓ The link is now functioning. Go to step 79 of this procedure.
78. Exchange the HSL I/O Bridge on the frame with the first failing resource
using symbolic FRU “SIIOADP” on page 585.
79. Use HSM to examine the loop and search for a failed link by starting at the
Network Interface Controller (NIC) and following the leading ports. Refer to
BUS PIP HSL-02 to locate the displays that do this.
Did you find a failed link?
Yes No
↓ The loop is now functioning. This ends the procedure.
80. Is the failing link between the first failed resource and the second failed
resource that you were working on?
Yes No
↓ Perform this procedure again. Go to step 1 on page 289 of this
procedure.
81. Exchange any internal HSL connections between the first failing resource and
the second failing resource using symbolic FRU “SIRGCBL” on page 588.
82. Is the link still failing?
Yes No
↓ Verify that the loop is now complete by performing this procedure
again. Go to step 1 on page 289 of this procedure.
83. Call your next level of support.
This ends the procedure.
BUS PIP HSL-02
BUS PIP HSL-02, Use HSM to examine the HSL Loop to find failing resources.
This procedure will direct you to use HSM screens to determine the status of HSL
ports in the loop.
1. Make a copy of “Appendix G. HSL Link Status Diagnosis Form” on page 967.
You will be directed to fill in specific areas of the table.
2. Sign on to SST or DST (if you have not already done so).
3. Select ″Start a service tool″.
4. Select ″Hardware service manager″.
5. Select ″Logical hardware resources″.
6. Select ″High-speed link (HSL) resources″.
7. Move the cursor to the HSL loop that you are here to examine. Select the
″Display detail″ option.
8. Select the function ″Include non-reporting resources″.
9. The display that appears is showing the port status of the Network Interface
Controller (NIC) for the loop that you selected. Record the resource name,
type-model, and serial number, if it has not been previously recorded.
10. Is the status of the ″Leading port to next resource″″operational″ ?
Yes No
