Escala BL460 - Problem Determination and Service Guide
2.4.1 System reference codes (SRCs)
System reference codes indicate a server hardware or software problem that can originate
in hardware, in firmware, or in the operating system.
A blade server component generates an error code when it detects a problem. An SRC
identifies the component that generated the error code and describes the error.
Use the SRC information to identify a list of possibly failing items and to find information
about any additional isolation procedures.
The following table shows the syntax of a nine-word B700xxxx SRC as it might be
displayed in the event log of the management module.
The first word of the SRC in this example is the message identifier, B7001111. This
example numbers each word after the first word to show relative word positions.
The seventh word is the direct select address, which is 77777777 in the example.

Depending on your operating system and the utilities you have installed, error messages
might also be stored in an operating system log. See the documentation that comes with
the operating system for more information.
The management module can display the most recent 32 SRCs and time stamps. Manually
refresh the list to update it.
