IBM i 830

The multi-adapter bridge detected a problem with a card location that it controls.
The problem is in the controls for the card slot. The card location may or may not
have an installed card. If there is a card installed in that location, it may be the
source of the problem.
1. Is there a single card position listed in the SAL for this failing item?
No Yes
↓ Go to step 6 of this procedure.
2. Is there a range of card positions (PCI Bridge Set) listed in the SAL for this
failing item?
No Yes
↓ LIC could not identify the slot with the error. Perform “BUS PIP
MAB-03” on page 315 to determine the card position with the failure.
This ends the procedure.
3. Record the Direct Select Address (DSA) which is word 7 of the SRC from the
SAL display.
4. Examine the muti-adapter bridge function number in the DSA (see Table 7 on
page 281).
Is the multi-adapter bridge function number less than or equal to 7 ?
Yes No
↓ LIC could not identify the slot with the error. Perform “BUS PIP
MAB-03” on page 315 to determine the card position with the failure.
This ends the procedure.
5. Go to “BUS PIP PCIBUS-PIP1” on page 320. Return here after locating the card.
6. Does the SRC that sent you here appear more than once, OR does any other
SRC with this symbolic FRU appear from the same IPL AND against the same
resource?
No Yes
↓
v The failure is at the multi-adapter bridge.
v Do not use this symbolic FRU. Go to the next failing item in the list.
This ends the procedure.
7. Locate the message in the following table to determine the problem and the
corrective action:
Problem or Message Meaning or Corrective Action
Slot unavailable due to 64 bit card in
adjacent slot
The card location specified in the DSA is
unavailable for the card installed there. Do
not use that card location. The card location
with a multi-adapter bridge function
number 1 (one) less than the multi-adapter
bridge function number in the DSA has a 64
bit card installed. The 64 bit card is using
the 32 bit PCI bus of the card location
specified in the DSA. To determine the
multi-adapter bridge function numbers and
the card locations they specify, see Table 7 on
page 281 in the “Overview” on page 279 of
this document.
