DANGER

vi System reference codes (Bxxx)


Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:
v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in
the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power
device installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

CAUTION
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets
are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might
become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001)

Safety notices vii


CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during
relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a
room or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the
32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from
the suite.
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest
position to the highest position.
v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack
cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent.
Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the
pallet.

The following comments apply to the IBM servers that have been designated as conforming to NEBS
(Network Equipment-Building System) GR-1089-CORE:

The equipment is suitable for installation in the following:


v Network telecommunications facilities
v Locations where the NEC (National Electrical Code) applies

The intrabuilding ports of this equipment are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding ports of this equipment must not be metallically connected to the
interfaces that connect to the OSP (outside plant) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Note: All Ethernet cables must be shielded and grounded at both ends.

x System reference codes (Bxxx)


System reference codes (Bxxx) overview
Reference codes are diagnostics aids that help you find solutions to system problems.

Reference codes are diagnostic aids that help you determine the source of a hardware or operating
system problem. Using a reference code enables you to find the solution to fix the problem. To use
reference codes effectively, you must use them in conjunction with other service and support procedures.

Note: System reference codes (SRCs) often indicate failing items. Some failing items are required to be
exchanged in groups until the problem is solved. Other failing items are flagged as mandatory exchange
and must be exchanged before the service action is complete, even if the problem appears to have been
repaired. For more information, see “Block replacement of FRUs.”

Block replacement of FRUs


Sometimes, multiple field replaceable units (FRUs) or procedures are called out for replacement by an
SRC listed in the service action log (SAL). Each FRU or procedure has a priority, and procedures are
always in priority order, from highest to lowest priority. Follow the steps below:
1. Perform all high priority or mandatory FRU replacements or procedures at the same time (as a block).
2. If the problem persists after performing the high priority FRU replacements or procedures, then
perform the medium priority FRU replacements or procedures one at a time, unless a medium
grouping priority is associated with the FRUs or procedures that are called out in the SRC. A medium
grouping priority, shown with an A, B, or C, means that you need to perform all the FRU
replacements or procedures in that group at the same time (as a block).
3. Finally, if the problem still persists after performing the medium priority FRU replacements or
procedures, then perform the low priority FRU replacements or procedures one at a time.

The priorities of performing the FRU replacements or procedures are shown in the following ways,
depending on how you view the SRC:
v Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI): The ASMI shows a priority with each callout in the
log.
v Control panel: The control panel shows one of the following priorities with each callout:
– H = High
– M = Medium
– MA = Medium group A
– MB = Medium group B
– MC = Medium group C
– L = Low
v Management console: The details of the serviceable event display the FRU replacement priority as
high, medium, and so on.
v Service action log: In the SAL, the Part Action for the FRU in the view of the event shows the
replacement priority.

B0136619 B0136619
Explanation: Cryptographic adapter LIC is down level
Problem determination: The cryptographic adapter
can not confirm that an optional method for processing
cryptographic operations is currently available. This
can be for 2 different reasons:
v The most current version of its licensed internal code
is not installed on the system. The licensed internal
code for the adapter does not ship with the system.
For systems with Licensed Internal Code V5R4M5 or
earlier, it is contained within the licensed program
5733-CY1 Cryptographic Device Manager. For
systems with Licensed Internal Code V6R1M0 or
V6R1M1 it is contained within the licensed program
5733-CY2 Cryptographic Device Manager, and for
systems with Licensed Internal Code V7R1M0 or
later it is contained within the licensed program
5733-CY3 Cryptographic Device Manager.
v The Function Control Vector, which is required to be
loaded by the customer before performing any
cryptographic operations, has not been loaded.
Please refer to the "Loading a Function Control
Vector" in the cryptographic topic in the Security
section of the IBM i information center.

For both cases, the adapter is still available for use, but
may not take advantage of performance enhancements
found in a newer version of Cryptographic Device
Manager.

Note: This event is logged for every vary on of the


cryptographic card if one of the conditions above exist.
It should be rare to see a V6R1 or later system without
the upgraded version of the Cryptographic Device
Manager. Also, when the product is announced, the
customer will be instructed to load the code.

B0136620 B0136620
Explanation: Cryptographic adapter not operating at
optimum performance
Response: The cryptographic adapter will continue to
run, but performance could be improved. Vary off the
cryptographic adapter and then vary it on. The vary on
may take up to 15 minutes. If the problem does not
reccur, optimum performance has been restored. If the
problem does reccur, contact your next level of support.

162 System reference codes (Bxxx)


(B1xx) Reference codes
A B1xx reference code indicates that an event or exception occurred in service processor firmware. To
resolve any B1xx reference code, determine if the SRC requires a service action or if it is for tracking
purposes only.

Diagnostics analyze an event when it occurs to determine if the event requires service or if the event will
only be recorded for tracking purposes and future reference. The determination is based on machine type,
model, installed features, configuration, topology and activations at the time of the event.

If you do not find the SRC in a serviceable event view then it is a tracking event only and does not
require service.
v Tracking events appear as "informational" or "Misc." or "temp" in the IBM i product activity log and the
Advanced System Manage Interface (ASMI).
v Serviceable event views are:
– AIX® Diagnostics Results Log
– IBM i problem log
– IBM i service action log (SAL)
– Management console service focal point
– Linux® Diagnostic Messages Log
– System control panel
– ASMI listed under serviceable events

532 System reference codes (Bxxx)


(B2xx) Reference codes
A B2xx reference code indicates that an event or error was detected and logged by virtual service
processor firmware.

The logical partition associated with the event or error can be identified from the "LP=pppp" ASCII string
found in the SRC word 1 extension field, where 'pppp' is the logical partition ID.

To resolve a B2xx reference code, determine if the SRC requires a service action.

If the SRC is listed in a serviceable event view, use the FRU list from the serviceable event view to
determine the actions to take.

If you do not find the SRC in a serviceable event view, then it is an informational event and does not
require service action.
