SN550 shows SEL > “Sensor SysBrd Vol Fault has transitioned to critical from a less severe state.”
For the SN550 a method to determine the source of a faulty voltage reported for a voltage
planar fault is to look in the captured FFDC in the log parser detailed data. Locate the FPGA
dump shown under the FPGA Diagnosis.
Here is a sample file from the ffdc parser:

Check the FPGA Version is 4.07 or greater.
If FPGA rev 4.7 or greater refer to table1.
If FPGA rev is less than 4.7 refer to table2.
Block 4 contains the power fault register content. For this example, the Block 04 registers are
indicating source of fault is PGD_MAIN_EFUSE(P_12V) and MEZZCARD1_PWRGOOD.
This fault indicates that the main board’s 12v was tripped due to a fault on the slot1 expansion
card. Remove the expansion card in slot 1 to check if the planar recovers. If planar does not
recover, then both the adaptor and planar would need to be replaced. If planar powers on
normally than only the adaptor needs to be replaced. FPGA firmware should always be
updated to the latest available. The FPGA code is packaged as part of the XCC firmware
releases and automatically applied during XCC firmware updates.
Block 00 offset 0 is always 0x56. Block 00 offset 1-2 is the FGPA revision# 04.08. Block 4 offset
1-7 contain the power fault registers. A '1' indicates a fault with the indicated signal.
