Four-Character Checkpoints
Four-character progress codes and checkpoints in the form 8xxx, 9xxx, Axxx, Bxxx, and
Exxx are listed in “Firmware Checkpoints” on page 134. If you have a four-character
code that begins with any character other than 8, 9, A, B, or E, refer to the

Replacing the Operator Panel
Licensed programs frequently rely on system information that is stored in the VPD
module on the operator panel. If the MAPs indicate that the operator panel should be
replaced, the system VPD must be written into the VPD module on the new operator
panel. See “System Vital Product Data (VPD) Update Procedure” on page 423.
Replacing the Network Adapter
If a network adapter is replaced, the network administrator must be notified so that the
client IP addresses used by the system can be updated. In addition, the operating
system configuration of the network controller may need to be changed in order to
enable system startup. Also check to ensure that any client or server that accesses this
system is updated.
Determining Location Code
If you have an error code in the form 2xxx xxxx or Exxx, and no location code
associated with it, the location code may possibly be found in three places, depending
on the state of the system:
v
If the system will boot into AIX, the location code will be reported when error log
analysis is run under AIX diagnostics.
v
If the system will boot into the system management services (SMS) menus, the SMS
error log will contain the location code associated with the error code. See “View
Error Log” on page 333.
v
If the system halted when the error occurred, the error code and location can be
found in the LCD progress indicator log, which can be accessed using the service
processor menus. See “System Information Menu” on page 301, then select Read
Progress Indicators From Last System Boot. Find the error code in the list that
directed you to this note, and the location code should be a part of the entry in the
log.
