reported later, it is called home. If an old problem remains open, the new similar problem is
reported as a duplicate. Duplicate errors are neither reported nor called home to a service
center. Close a serviceable event when the partition that reports the error is active. Closing the
event causes the new status of the serviceable event to be correctly sent to the partition.
Updating Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information: This task allows you to update the FRU
information you changed or modified as a result of this serviceable event. From this panel, you can also
