Note: In a frame with processor nodes, entries for the switch will refer to “node17” or “slot17”. In a
multi-switch frame, switches will be listed as even slot addresses.

1. SP Switch2 advanced diagnostics use the 8.75 meter data cable provided by the SPS feature bill of
material.
2. Advanced cable wrap tests will not run successfully for 10-, 15-, and 20-meter SPS data cables. If
these data cables are used, change the suspected cable.
3. Refer to “SP Switch2 assembly (view 1)” on page 5-2 in Chapter 5, “Parts catalog” for the wrap plug
