Failing Items Failing Item Location
6985 High Speed Link (HSL) loop status message.
If this SRC is not in Service Action Log (SAL) then it is
informational. Use FRU SIRSTAT to determine what this SRC
means. Otherwise, continue with the following steps:
This error can appear in the SAL when a tower or another
system in the loop did not complete powering on before LIC
checked this loop for errors. Search the PAL for all B600 6985
SRCs logged for this loop and use FRU SIRSTAT to determine
if this error requires service.
1. If you find a B600 6981 in the SAL then close that problem
and go to step 2. Otherwise perform the following:
v
Perform “BUS PIP HSL-06” on page 306 to determine if
any other systems are connected to this loop and return
here. (SIRGCBL FRU in the SAL indicates the loop
number.) If there are other system(s) then continue with
the steps that follow, otherwise go to step 2.
v
Check for HSL failures on the other system(s) before
replacing parts. HSL failures are SAL entries with HSL
I/O Brige and Network Interface Controller (NIC)
resources. Ignore B600 6982 and B600 6984 entries. If there
are HSL failures on other system(s) then continue with
the steps that follow, otherwise go to step 2.
v
Repair the problems on the other systems and return to
this step. After making repairs on the other system(s)
check the PAL of this system for a B600 6985 logged after
the repairs you made on the other system(s). If you find
one then continue with the steps that follow, otherwise go
to step 2.
v
For the B600 6985 log you found, use FRU SIRSTAT to
determine if the loop is now complete. If the loop is
complete then this problem has been resolved. Use “BUS
PIP HSL-01” on page 289 to verify that the loop is now
working properly. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2. Use the SAL’s FRU list when it is available.
If this SRC appears in the SAL with more than one failing
item displayed then perform problem isolation procedure
“BUS PIP HSL-01” on page 289.
NOTE: A fiber optic cleaning kit may be required for optical
HSL connections.
