Go to step 40 of this procedure.
35. Determine if there are any interposer cards or ribbon cables connected to the
HSL cable that you just exchanged by performing the following:
v
Record the frame types which are connected by the HSL cable. Use
symbolic FRU “SIRGCBL” on page 588 and the frame types you recorded to
determine if there are any HSL interposer cards or cables.
v
If you determined there are HSL interposer cards or ribbon cables, then
exchange them before continuing to the next step.
36. Go to step 39 of this procedure.
37. Is the frame type an FC 5077 SPD Migrated Tower?
