TOPORT

This procedure locates the end of the failing RIO link.

About this task

The RIO node on one end of the link may be the failing item. If you were sent to this procedure as a result of a B7006985 SRC and this is the only FRU in the FRU list, the system cannot see any I/O units on a RIO loop and there is at least one cable attached to a port on that loop. In this case, go to (B700) Reference codes and work from the full FRU list provided there.

Note: The other end of the link is given in the symbolic FRU FRPORT.

Procedure

  1. Starting from the failed port you isolated in symbolic FRU FRPORT, select Follow Leading Port to move to the other side of the failed link.
  2. Record the location code of the last failed resource.

What to do next

This ends the procedure.
