Reading the Type 103 Message

A Type 103 message is generated when a hardware error is detected. Use the
following steps and information to determine the content of the Type 103
message. (You may have come here from a Type 102 message. If so, use the
same procedure).

  1. Press the Reset button and record the first three digits of the
     six-digit SRN.
      Note:The 9333 machine type displays four-digit SRNs that are not
           listed in this book. To decode these SRNs, refer to 9333
           documentation.

  2. Press the Reset button and record the next three digits of the SRN.

  3. Each time the Reset button is pressed, three digits of a FRU location
     code display. When all FRU location codes are read out, the operator
     panel display returns to the flashing 888 or, if another message is
     waiting to be displayed, a ccc. If a ccc is displayed, repeat this
     step to receive the next message. Try the first SRN listed; if it does
     not resolve the problem, try following SRNs in the order listed. If
     the message contains more than four FRUs, not all FRU location codes
     will be present.

     Press the Reset button and record the three-digit numbers until a
     flashing 888 displays. Use the following to identify the numbers being
     read.

     103 = Message type
     XXX-XXX = SRN

     c01 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = First FRU location code

     c02 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Second FRU location code

     c03 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Third FRU location code

     c04 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Fourth FRU location code

  4. Identify the SRN. You can cycle through the numbers again by pressing
     the Reset button.

  5. The FRU location codes translate into an eight-digit location code
     (AB-CD-EF-GH). Each digit of the eight-digit location code is
     presented as a three-digit number in the operator panel display.

          A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H  = Eight-digit location code

     c01 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = First FRU location code

     c02 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Second FRU location code

     c03 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Third FRU location code

     c04 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx = Fourth FRU location code

      Note:If a ccx (x can be any digit from 2 through 9) is encountered
           as part of the location code, only the part of the code that is
           different from the location code of the previous FRU is shown.
           To form the complete location code of the next FRU, substitute
           the information following the ccx into the location code of the
           previous FRU.

           For example, if the previous FRU location is:

           c01 100 200 300 401 500 601 700 800,

           and the next FRU location is listed as:

           cc2 602,

           the complete location code of the next FRU is:

           cc2 100 200 300 401 500 602 700 800.

     To identify each digit of the location code (AB-CD-EF-GH), translate
     the right-most two digits using the following table. See "Location
     Codes" in this chapter to determine the physical location of the
     resource.


      xx Value  xx Value  xx Value  xx Value
      00 = 0    11=A      21=K      31=U
      01 = 1    12=B      22=L      32=V
      02 = 2    13=C      23=M      33=W
      03 = 3    14=D      24=N      34=X
      04 = 4    15=E      25=O      35=Y
      05 = 5    16=F      26=P      36=Z
      06 = 6    17=G      27=Q
      07 = 7    18=H      28=R
      08 = 8    19=I      29=S
      09 = 9    20=J      30=T


  6. The only way to recover from an 888 type of halt is to power the
     system unit Off. Return to the MAP step that directed you here.
