Chapter 2. Problem Solving
To identify and correct any problems that occur during setup, answer the questions
and take the appropriate actions as indicated. The problems listed below will take
place before or during the period when the operational code is loaded, if at all. For
problems that occur after the operational code is loaded, see pages 2-4 through
2-9.
See “LED Indicators” on page 2-3 for the locations of the LEDs.
On the 2212, are all LEDs off?
Yes: There is no ac source voltage.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2. Check the power source.
3. Ensure that the power cord is attached correctly to the 2212.
4. Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
If the problem is not corrected, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On the 2212, are all system card and service port LEDs on?
Yes: There is a problem with the bootstrap code. Contact your service
representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On the system card, is the system card status yellow LED on and system
card status green LED off?
Yes: There is a fault in the card.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2. Reseat the card.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
If the problem is not corrected, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On the system card, is the service port status yellow LED on and system card
status green LED on?
Yes: Memory tests are in progress
If the LED remains lit, contact your service representative and report that
DRAM is defective.
No: Go to the next question.
On the system card, is the system card status green LED off?
Yes: The green LED is switched on by the operational code.
If the green LED fails to come on after a few minutes
1
, contact your service
representative.
No: Go to the next question.
1A simple configuration will take 1.5 minutes to load. A more complex configuration or one including APPN will take longer.

Are the system card status green and yellow LEDs and service port green
and yellow LEDs blinking?
Yes: Contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On the system card, is the system card status green LED blinking, the system
card status yellow LED on, and the service port green LED on?
Yes: The operational software cannot be loaded from the hard file or compact
flash.
The procedure to follow when the yellow system card status LED is on and the
green system card status LED is blinking is documented in the first MAP in the
2212 Access Utility Service and Maintenance Manual . This procedure explains
that the code image is corrupted or the hard file or compact flash is defective,
and what to do.
If the problem is not corrected after following the procedures in the
Maintenance Guide, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On the system card, is the PMC status yellow LED on?
Yes: There is a fault in the PMC card.
Contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.

Yes: There is a fault in the system card.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2. Reseat the system card.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
If the problem is not corrected, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
Are any of the slot status yellow LEDs (on the rear of the IBM 2212) on?
Yes: There is a fault in the card that corresponds with the yellow slot status
LED that is on.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2. Reseat the card.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
If the problem is not corrected, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
On any adapter, is any port yellow LED on?
Yes: There is a fault in the card.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2. Reseat the card.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the outlet.
If the problem is not corrected, contact your service representative.
No: Go to the next question.
If the problem is not corrected after following all the steps above:
2-2 2212 Install and Initial Config

Reset the 2212 by following the procedure in “Resetting the IBM 2212” on
page A-28. More information about the reset button is also available in “Reset
Button” on page 2-3.
If the box still does not boot, and if you have answered no to every question in
this list, contact your service representative.
Reset Button You can use the reset button on the 2212 system card to reset the operational
software; however, it must be pressed and held for at least 6 seconds . Otherwise,
if the reset button is pressed and held less than 6 seconds , the memory contents
will be dumped if dumping has been enabled via talk 6 in the command-line
interface. It will also reboot the 2212 if reboot has been enabled via talk 6 in the
command-line interface. If reboot has not been enabled, the 2212 will hang until it
has been powered off and on. It is recommended that reboot always be enabled on
the 2212.
LED Indicators The IBM 2212 has a number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate how the
unit is functioning. The following sections describe what each LED indicates.
System Card LEDs
The PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) adapter slot, each integrated WAN port, and the
service port on the system card have their own set of green and yellow LEDs.
Additionally, the system card has a green and yellow LED for overall system card
status.
During a power-on reset (POR), the green and yellow system card status and
service port LEDs turn on and blink in different combinations to reflect the
component that is being loaded and tested. Once the IBM 2212 has been loaded
and tested successfully, the system status card green LED is lit to indicate that the
device is operational2. The sections that follow reflect problems that can occur after
successful load and test.
For more information about problems that can occur before or during operational
code load, see page 2-1.
2A simple configuration will load within 1.5 minutes. More complex configurations or those including APPN will take longer.
