Flexible Service Processor (FSP) boot fail support

Learn about the FSP boot fail support.

After a boot failure, the FSP reaches the STANDBY stage. If the FSP does not stay up for at least 15 minutes after reaching the STANDBY state, the operator panel displays SRC B1817212. If the FSP takes continuous resets within 15 minutes, then as part of fourth reset (within 15 minutes), the FSP boot process terminates. The Power button is disabled and the pin hole reset button must be used.
