Chapter 4. Problem Determination
Procedures
This chapter contains step-by-step instructions that can help you
determine if your PCI co-processor adapter is operating properly in
an Intel-based, IBM-compatible system. See “Step 2. Download the
Diagnostics and Operating System Support Programs” on page 2-5
for information on downloading diagnostics for other supported
system unit hardware platforms.
Note: To test the PCI co-processor adapter after completing the
initial installation of it, see “PCI Co-Processor Adapter
Diagnostics Test” on page 4-3.
The contents of the chapter are:
Ÿ
System unit diagnostics (page 4-2)
Ÿ
PCI co-processor adapter diagnostics (starting on page 4-3)
Ÿ
Service parts (starting on page 4-22).
If you suspect you have a problem:
Ÿ
Check electrical connections (that is, cable connections between
devices, cable connections between devices and wall outlets,
and wall outlet condition).
Ÿ
Perform diagnostics.
Two groups of tests can be performed when there is a problem with
a system unit containing the PCI co-processor adapter.
1. System Unit Diagnostics. These tests are run from a diagnostics
diskette provided with the system unit; they examine the system
unit and the installed options.
2. PCI Co-Processor Adapter Advanced Diagnostics Version 1.50.
These tests are run from the IBM Realtime Interface
Co-Processor: Advanced Diagnostic diskette; they examine the
PCI co-processor adapter.
