IBM 2BBB – FSP-1 card (drawers 1 and 2) CCIN 2BBB

Detailed Description:

The IBM 2BBB, identified by its Common Customer Identification Number (CCIN) 2BBB, is a Flexible Service Processor (FSP-1) card designed for use in specific IBM server configurations, particularly those utilizing drawers 1 and 2. The FSP-1 serves a critical role as a service processor that monitors and controls the overall health and status of the server. It operates independently of the server’s main operating system, providing out-of-band management capabilities that include system initialization, diagnostics, and error logging. This ensures that administrators can manage and troubleshoot the system even if the main operating system is not functional. The FSP-1 card is a cornerstone of IBM’s reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features, offering advanced control and monitoring capabilities to sustain high system availability and performance.
