8752.0. "No FRU table entry found in _console-rpb" by BACHUS::CUYT () Fri Feb 07 1997 08:08

    
    I was wondering where this message comes from. I installed V4.0B
    on a alphaserver 1000A. Everything seems to work well but during
    boot or in uerf I see always something like :
    
    tu0: DECchip 21040-AA: Revision: 2.4
    tu0 at pci0 slot 11

8752.1HighEnd Server Platform LeaderNETRIX::"[email protected]"freissFri Feb 07 1997 10:3511
The V4.0B release of Digital UNIX added support of the Field Replacable Unit 
packet (ie FRU). The platform support code checks for the availablity of the 
information via the HWRPB. If the pointer is not valid the FRU table is not
logged in the binary error log. 

The system must have the correct version of firmware for the 1000A to enable
the feature. There is also a console enviromental variation that must be
set "fru_table on" to have the table logged. 

The message is reporting the status of the log for the service engineers.
