An SPCN card might be failing.

If you need additional information for failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to find additional location codes, part numbers, or replacement procedures for your system.

The SPCN card can be on either an adapter style card or integrated on the system backplane or an I/O backplane in an attached I/O expansion unit.

Complete the following steps to service this FRU:

  1. Is the system reference code (SRC) 1xxx00AD?
    • No: Continue to the next step.
    • Yes: The 1xxx00AD SRC might be caused by the service processor being intentionally reset. An intentional reset is caused by an action such as a pin hole reset, ASMI menu selection, or part replacement. An intentional reset requires no service action. If your system produced the 1xxx00AD SRC and an intentional reset was not the cause, use the following table to determine the part number of the field-replaceable unit (FRU).
