Service Processor Checkpoints
Service processor checkpoints are in the range 8xxx to Bxxx. The message OK indicates successful
service processor testing and initialization. Firmware checkpoints are listed in “Firmware Checkpoints” on
page 140.
Note: A spinning (or twirling) slash displays in the upper-right corner of the operator panel display while
some checkpoints are being displayed. If the slash stops spinning, a hang condition is indicated.
