(B1xx) Service processor firmware reference code callouts

A B1xx reference code indicates that an error occurred in a service processor firmware-detected operation. To resolve any B1xx reference code, use the following procedure:

  1. Does the reference code have a format of B151 72xx or B181 72xx that displays during the power-on process after power was connected to the server but before the server reaches the Power On Standby state?
  2. Perform the following:
    1. Using the callout list provided with the error replace the first or next FRU or perform the first or next isolation procedure in the list starting with the highest priority. For more information, see the following:
    2. Perform a slow-boot IPL.
    Did the same error code appear?
  3. Is the new error code the same as the one that brought you to this procedure?
