Re: A600 1730 SRC on Panel -- MIDRANGE-L

Welcome to the club.  :-)
Been through this recently on a customer's 400-2130.
You have too much memory installed.  The maximum for the 400-2130 is 
160MB.
When you installed the additional 2x64MB you should have removed one of 
the 32MB.
Now our customer seemed to run fine with SRCA6001730 posted for over a 
year and WRKSYSSTS and DSPHDWRSC *STG seemed to show the system was using 
192MB.  All higher model 400 processors can utilize 3 additional memory 
slots, but the handbook says there are only 2 additional slots (probably 
means only two that work properly) on the 2130.

Problem occured when upgrading to V4R5 as that uprade turns on the 
Auto-MainStorageDump option (changeable in DST) which seemed to throw us 
into a loop at IPL time.
Anyway - remove the 32MB memory and all should be fine.
I'll email you separately with some background detail on the situation.

PS - 166 or 196, both would have been invalid and impossible numbers to 
reach with 32 and 64.

Hello all,

we are on a model 400 FC2130 Processor with OS V4R3
added memory (from 2x32 MB = 64MB to 2x32MB and 2x64MB = max)
now we get SRC A600 1730 on the panel and yellow attention light
src handbook says "system needs ipl to recover performance issue"
system is running "normal" as we can see so far.
IPL-ing does not change the situation.
Further comment on this is to contact IBM for further info !
Has anybody an idea ?

My first thought was one of the memory modules being faulty,
but SST and wrkhdwrsc shows everything "operational" and the
service processor did not complain about failing hardware at all.
Although: system builder handbook lists a max of 160 MB for the
2130 processor which would mean only the first(base) 32 MB are
allowed and the rest is to be filled up until 160 MB is reached.
(would mean to remove one 32 MB bank).
Configuration rules don't show to remove that 32 mb before
installing the additional 64 mb, so I just thought it was a typo.
Older manuals even say that a 166 MB is the max for that processor
which is not possible with only 32MB and 64MB modules, this lead
me to believe that the "166" was instead a "196" ...

Okay, I will report back here, when I solved it.

Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
