I/O Adapter Status, Status file 2, S2:0
This file records I/O faults occuring in each I/O chassis in your
system. It identifies the location by rack number to within a
quarter I/O rack (32 I/O points or four module slots). The file
length is application dependent: one word for assigned rack
numbers 0-3, two words for 0-7, three words for 0-11 and so forth.
Each displayed bit represents a fault detected within the quarter
rack. The display format is:
Bit Number

For example, bit 00 indicates a fault at rack 0, first quarter chassis; bit
01 at rack 0, second quarter chassis, and so forth.
Adapter Re-try, Status file, 3, S3:0
This file counts the number of transmissions attempted between the
scanner and each I/O chassis in the system. The file records the

communication problems. The file length is application dependent,
four words per assigned rack number. The display format is:
