1030 ABORT The component on which the test was to be run is on the Standby SPE. This 
test may only be run on this component when it resides on the Active SPE. If it 
is absolutely necessary to conduct this test on the Standby SPE component, 
implement the following steps to make it become an Active SPE component.
1. Issue the refresh spe-standby command to return the Standby SPE to 
Standby Mode. This command may have to be issued multiple times. If the 
refresh spe-standby command successfully completes five times without 
the Standby SPE becoming labeled "standby" on the status system form, 
wait 20 minutes. This does not include cases where the command 
completes with the terminal message line errors "Refresh not successful; 
use ‘display errors’ to check for STBY-SPE errors" or "Cannot interrupt 
Standby SPE while entering maintenance mode; please try later." Issue the 
refresh spe-standby command once more. 
2. Issue the reset system interchange command in order to cause an SPE 
switch. At this point, the component resides on the Active SPE.

ABORT 3. Move the SPE Select switches to make the SPE with the problem the 
current Active SPE. This action prevents software from switching to the 
other SPE since the current SPE has the error against it.
4. Repeat the test.
5. If the test passes and the alarm is resolved, return the SPE Select switches 
to the AUTO position.
6. If the test fails and the defective circuit pack is identified, the circuit pack 
needs to be replaced. However, the circuit pack now resides on the 
current Active SPE. Return the SPE Select switches to the AUTO position. 
Issue the refresh spe-standby command and then execute a reset 
system interchange command to cause an SPE switch.
7. The system is now on the healthy SPE. Replace the defective circuit pack 
on the Standby SPE as previously identified in Step 4. Refer to the 
"Replacing Defective SPE Circuit Packs" section in Chapter 6, ‘‘
Reliability 
Systems: A Maintenance Aid’’.
8. Repeat the procedure, beginning with Step 1.

1. Retry the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
2015 ABORT The Standby SPE Maintenance/Tape Processor did not reply to an Active SPE 
request to hold the Standby SPE Processor reset. The communication path 
between the Active SPE and the Standby SPE Maintenance/Tape Processor 
may have failed, or the Standby SPE Maintenance/Tape Processor may have 
failed. Follow the procedures described for Error Code 2024 in the STBY-SPE 
section.
