System bus error
During IPL, system LIC detected an HSL I/O bridge that was already
initialized. The bridge should have been in a flushed and unintialized state
after powering on. There is a problem with SPCN components that
prevented the tower from powering off after a previous power off was
issued. The tower will not be configured for this IPL.

v
If there is a cable FRU in the Service Action Log:
1.
If the connection is copper and either end has a loose connection,
reseat the cable. To do this, disconnect the connection and wait a
minimum of 30 seconds. Then reconnect the cable and complete the
tightening process in at most 30 seconds. Repeat the process at the
other end of the cable. If the error persists, replace the FRUs in the
SAL.
2.
If the connection is optical, clean the connections at both ends of the
cable. See OPT_CLN. If the error persists, replace the FRUs in the
SAL.
3.
If the error persists, replace the FRUs at each end of the cable starting
with the FROM FRU listed in the SAL.
v
If there was no cable in the SAL, replace the FRUs listed in the SAL.
