25PPC405GP-3BC200C

Overview

The IBM 25PPC405GP-3BC200C is a hardware component associated with the PowerPC 405GPr embedded processor family, manufactured by Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC). The model designation corresponds to specific speed and package variants within this architecture. Reference code BC200C indicates an internal firmware error encountered during system initialization or operation. Diagnostic procedures require checking the error log to determine the actual Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) replacement strategy calculated at the time of failure.

Feature Summary

• Integrates the PowerPC 405GPr core architecture for embedded processing tasks
• Designed for integration into IBM server systems requiring PowerPC-based components
• Associated with firmware-level diagnostics and reference code reporting

Applications

• IBM Power Systems hardware maintenance and repair
• Embedded control applications utilizing PowerPC 405GPr processors
• System firmware debugging and error log analysis

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact FRU part number against the system error log before procurement. The reference code BC200C signifies a firmware error; however, the specific physical component replacement depends on the FRU callout generated by the diagnostic tools at the moment of failure. Ensure compatibility with the specific IBM server generation and chassis configuration.

Selection Notes

Selection is driven by the specific PowerPC 405GPr variant required for the target IBM hardware platform. The suffix 3BC200C denotes specific operational parameters. Compatibility must be confirmed with the system's firmware version and hardware revision. Do not substitute based solely on the processor family without verifying the exact FRU designation required by the service manual.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader category of IBM Power Systems hardware parts involving PowerPC processors. It relates to the PowerPC 405GPr series produced by AMCC. The reference codes (e.g., BC2x) are standard IBM diagnostic identifiers used across various server models to pinpoint hardware or firmware faults requiring service intervention.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official IBM Service Manual for the specific server model to identify the correct FRU. Reference code BC200C requires checking the error log for the precise FRU callout. Generic PowerPC 405GPr chips may not be compatible substitutes due to specific IBM firmware and hardware integration requirements.
