The IBM 02AM135 Service Processor Card (FSP) is a critical system management component used in IBM Power Systems servers. It functions as the Flexible Service Processor (FSP), which is responsible for low-level hardware control, system initialization, monitoring, and remote management capabilities.

This card operates independently from the main system processor and provides essential out-of-band management, including power control, error logging, diagnostics, and communication with management consoles such as an HMC (Hardware Management Console). It plays a key role in ensuring system reliability and uptime in enterprise environments.
