Cycle power on the frame identified as the frame with failed HSL I/O Bridge prior to replacing FRUs.

The FRU list displayed in the Service Action Log (SAL), or serviceable event view you are using, may vary from the failing item list given in this document. Use the FRU list in the serviceable event view if it is available to you.

If you find either a B6xx 6982 or B6xx 6984 SRC logged at approximately the same time as this SRC then they were caused by the same failure. If you find a 6982 SRC logged at approximately the same time then close this problem and service the 6982 SRC. The failing item listed for this SRC is one of the failing items listed for B6xx 6982. If the serviceable event view's entry for this SRC has a location listed then record the location for use in servicing the 6982 SRC.

NOTE: This SRC can occur for the HSL I/O Bridge resource in an I/O expansion unit when the unit is powered off for a concurrent maintenance action.

NOTE: A fiber optic cleaning kit may be required for optical HSL connections.
