Hello,
During testing of Turbolaser 8400, I have found KFTIA module is showing
as KFTHA. The console details
Console Version 3.0-9 Feb 13 1996
The Part no. printed on I/O module is E2054-AA
Is this due to console firmware corruption or some problem with KFTIA
module.
Can somebody help me to solve this issue
Thanks and regards

| 1097.1 | 2000 vs 2020 in SEEPROM | AFW3::MAZUR | Fri Feb 07 1997 08:53 | 55 | |
This KFTIA/HFTHA type code identifier is stored in EEPROM on the IO module.
When the EEPROM is corrupt, it defaults to the 2000 (KFTHA). Or it may
just have not been set at the factory.
On my system, I have both a KFTHA(2000) and a KFTIA(2020). Look at the module
device type below that comes from the SEEPROM.
NOTE:
BE SURE TO USE "SEEPROM" in the command. If you say EEPROM
it will present the CPUs EEPROM regardless of the device
specified on the command line.
P06>>>show seeprom manu kftha0
Module Serial Number =
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number =
Module Device Type = 2000
Module HW Rev = 0
P06>>>show seeprom manu kftia0
Module Serial Number = AY44810514
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number = E2054-AA
Module Device Type = 2020
Module HW Rev = a02
You can set it to the correct device type (remember to do a show
first because you will need to reenter the serial number and unified
part number):
P06>>>set seeprom manu kftha0
Module Serial Number> test
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number> whatever
Module Device Type> 2020
Module HW Rev> a02
After the next init, you will see the kftha0 device replace by
a kftia<n> device.
If the seeprom has been corrupted, you may have to reformat it
with the build command:
P06>>>build -s kftha0
Build Serial EEPROM on kftha0 ? [Y/N]> y
The program will take at most several minutes.
Serial EEPROM built on kftha0

Hello,
Followed the steps provided in .1 Still the problem is there.
P00>>>Show Seeprom manu kftia0 gives the following error message
P00>>> Invalid command
P00>>> File open failed seeprom:0/kftia
P00>>>Show seeprom manu kftha0 gives the following error message
P00>>> Failed to varify
P00>>>Build -s KFTIA0 is failing with the following error message
P00>>> File KFTIA0 not found
Can somebody from firmware group help me to solve this problem.
Thanks inadvance and regards

| 1097.3 | TRY THIS | VYGER::BRYCEG | Sun Feb 09 1997 04:33 | 52 | |
Is your problem the same as this -
P04>>>show conf
Name Type Rev Mnemonic
TLSB
2++ KN7CE-AB 8014 0000 kn7ce-ab0
6+ MS7CC 5000 0000 ms7cc0
8- KFTHA 2000 0C09 kftha0
C1 XMI connected to kftha0 xmi0
The I/O module is shown as a KFTHA but is in fact a KFTIA.
To get round this problem follow steps 1 or 2
1. P04>>>show seeprom man kftha0
Module Serial Number = E2054KGM
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number = -E2054-AA
Module Device Type = 2000
Module HW Rev = c09
As you can see the device type is 2000.
To change this from 2000 to 2020 -
P04>>>set seeprom man kftha0
Module Serial Number> e2054kgm
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number> -e2054-aa
Module Device Type> 2020
Module HW Rev> c09
and then INIT the system
2. P04>>>build -s kftha0
Module Serial Number> AyXXXX
Module Unified 2-5-2.4 Part Number> -e2054-aa
Module Device Type> 2020
Module HW Rev>cXX
If you can't get either of these to work can you provide the TLSB
configuration showing which module in which slot is bad.
Hope this helps,
Gordon
