36 Second-Generation Channel Interface Processor (CIP2) Installation and Configuration
Checking the Installation
Step 3
When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on the CIP2 goes on and
remains on. (See Figure 23.) If it does, proceed to Step 7. If it does not, proceed to the
following step.

Step 4
If the enabled LED on the CIP2 fails to go on, the CIP2 card connector might not be fully
seated in the backplane. Proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the captive installation screws, then firmly push the ejector levers inward
(toward the interface port) until both are parallel to the CIP2 faceplate.
•
Tighten the captive installation screws.
•
After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the CIP2 should go on.
If it does, proceed to Step 7. If it does not, proceed to Step 5.
Step 5
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the CIP2 and try installing it in another
available interface processor slot.
•
If the enabled LED goes on when the CIP2 is installed in the new slot, there could be a
failed backplane port in the original interface processor slot.
•
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the CIP2 are on and indicate
activity, the enabled LED on the CIP2 has probably failed. Proceed to Step 7 to resume
the installation check.
•
If the enabled LED still does not go on, do not proceed with the installation. Contact a
service representative to report the faulty equipment and obtain further instructions.
(Instructions for obtaining technical assistance are provided at the end of this
document.)
Step 6
If the present LED fails to go on, the connection between the ECA or PCA and the
motherboard might be faulty; however, do not attempt to disassemble the CIP2 in order to
check this connection. Instead, contact a service representative.
Step 7
If the interface is new, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More
Information,” on page 2, to configure the new interface. (This does not have to be done
immediately, but an interface will not be available until you configure it.)
If this installation was a replacement CIP2, use the show interfaces or show controllers
cxbus EXEC commands to verify the status of the interface. (For complete descriptions of
the show commands, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More
Information,” on page 2.)
If an error message is displayed on the console terminal, refer to the System Error Messages
publication for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to
solve, contact a service representative for assistance.
This completes the CIP2 hardware installation.
