Core I/O problem

Mark Ellzey — Wed, 09 Apr 2003 18:50:01 GMT

I think I may have blown up my core I/O card. Please tell me I'm wrong...

System: HP 9000 K250 Core I/O w/ FW Diff and HSC F/W SCSI HP# A2969A. Optional Diff. SCSI card HP# 28696-60001

Tried to attach a Conner CFP4702S (4GB) external to the core IO's FW Diff SCSI port. When powered on, no termination light on external terminator, no term power light on core IO card. System starts to boot, then issues faults on LCD screen on front of unit. The following faults were trapped:
CBF1
CBFC
CBF0
5007
5408
5508

Tried the same external drive on HSC FW SCSI port on core IO card and Diff SCSI port on optional card with same result.

Removed both core IO card and additional SCSI card, cleaned and re-installed. Removed external drive and reboot w/ same faults trapped.

Halted reboot and went into the Service menu and the Information menus. Ran the PIM and IO respectivly, the results are enclosed in the attachment.

Did I hose my IO card(s)?

Thanks for any help,
Mark

Here is the meaning of the various codes:

cbf1 OS did not replace IVA
cbfc PDCE_HPMC processing complete, failed to branch to OS_HPMC, halt this CPU
cbf0 HPMC occurred

Basically the first three just tell us you had an HPMC

5007 Directed Error : Processor 0
5408 Broadcast Error : IOA0
5508 Broadcast Error : IOA1

The 5007 is the most unique code (the 5408 and 5508 show up early and often in most HPMCs).

Looking in the database at 5007 --> There are still several possible causes.

The logs you attached dont suggest anything obvious to me. I would suggest you open a Hardware call with HP to have someone assist you in reading the PIM logs.
