Restrictions and Open Issues in this Release
Subject Description
The Ethernet module fails to
exchange EGD properly
during power cycling
Very rarely, after experiencing multiple rapid power cycles, the CPU may fail to
establish communication with one or more modules in the backplane at power up.
When this occurs a "Loss of” or “missing option module" fault will be logged in the
controller fault table. To recover from this issue, cycle power again.
The following faults will be logged if this issue occurs:
Loss of, or missing option module
Error Code 31
Group 4
Action 3:Fatal
Task Num 9
Reset of option module
Error Code 11
Group 8
Action 2:Diagnostic
Task Num 9
Loss of, or missing option module
Error Code 94
Group 4
Action 3:Fatal
Task Num 9
Switching between Serial &
PCI modules in a slot causes
module to not be recognized.
If a Serial module (IC694) is physically installed in the slot where a PCI (IC695)
module is configured, a module mismatch fault will be logged.
To correct this condition the configuration must match the module that is physically
present in the rack
and the system must be power cycled. Simply downloading the
new configuration will not correct this issue.
