7.8 Service Processor Checkpoints
SP Checkpoints are intended to let users and service personal know what the
service processor is doing, in some detail, as it initializes. These checkpoints
are not intended to be error indicators, but in some cases a server could hang
at one of the checkpoints without displaying an 8-character error code. It is
for these hang conditions, only, that any action should be taken with respect
to checkpoints. The most appropriate action is included with each checkpoint.
Before taking actions listed with a checkpoint, it is a good idea to look for
better symptoms in the service processor error log.
Service processor checkpoints are in the range E010 to E0FF. The message
OK indicates successful service processor testing and initialization. The
E0xx-Codes for the SP are documented in
