Look here for information about VPDPART symbolic FRU.

For more information about failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to see applicable procedures for your system.

  1. Is the reference code 1xxx8402?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: Before you exchange any parts, verify that the processors cards are installed. If you are in test mode and you removed all of the processor cards, disregard this reference code. Otherwise, verify that the processor cards are installed correctly. If the processor cards are installed correctly, replace the service processor card (in certain systems, the service processor function is built into the system backplane). Use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU).
      Type and model Part number Description Location code
      5148-21L, 5148-22L, 8247-21L, 8247-22L, 8247-42L, 8284-21A, 8284-22A, 8286-41A, or 8286-42A See System parts. System backplane Un-P1
      8408-44E or 8408-E8E See System parts. Service processor card Un-P1-C5

  2. Is the reference code 1xxx8409?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: The system did not detect any processors or memory DIMMs installed. If you are in test mode and you removed all of the processors or memory DIMMs, disregard this reference code. If the processor modules and memory DIMMs are installed correctly, replace the processor modules. See System parts to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit. This ends the procedure.
  3. Is the reference code 1xxx8413, 1xxx8414, 1xxx8415, or 1xxx8416?
