PC Server 720 - Multiprocessor error indication

Applicable to: World-Wide

Multiprocessor Error Indication (IP and FP Codes)
During the early POST code, various multiprocessor bus errors might occur; if they do, the early POST code will display error information to the information panel in one of the following formats:

IP: 1xx D S xx

FP: 1xx D S xx

D Character denoting the type of board/card issuing the error as follows. C for Processor Card, M for Memory Card, and B for Bridge Card.

S Slot number of the board/card issuing the error.

If you receive an IP or FP error, do the following:
1. Replace the board/card issuing the error.
2. If replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, reinstall the FRU you removed from the computer; then, continue with the next step.
3. Remove all cards/boards of the same type identified by the error code one at a time until you locate the failing card/board. (Example, if the error code identified a memory card and replacing the memory card in the slot identified by the error code does not correct the problem, remove all memory cards one at a time until you locate the failing board)

If the problem remains, replace the FRUs in the following order:
a. Memory Card
b. Processor Card
c. Bridge Card
d. System Board
