SRC formats
SRCs are strings of either six or eight alphanumeric characters. The first two characters designate the
reference code type.
The first character indicates the type of error. In a few cases, the first two characters indicate the type of
error:
v
1xxxxxxx - System power control network (SPCN) error
v
6xxxxxxx - Virtual optical device error
v
A1xxxxxx - Attention required (Service processor)
v
AAxxxxxx - Attention required (Partition firmware)
v
B1xxxxxx - Service processor error, such as a boot problem
v
B6xxxxxx - Licensed Internal Code or hardware event error
v
B9xxxxxx - Software installation error or IBM i IPL error. See "Recovering from IPL or system failures"
in the IBM i Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/
index.jsp?topic=/ipha5_p5/iplprocedure.htm.
v
BAxxxxxx - Partition firmware error
v
Cxxxxxxx - Checkpoint (must hang to indicate an error)
v
Dxxxxxxx - Dump checkpoint (must hang to indicate an error)
To find a description of a SRC that is not listed in this PS700 blade server documentation, refer to the
POWER7 Reference Code Lookup page at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/

1xxxyyyy SRCs
The 1xxxyyyy system reference codes are system power control network (SPCN) reference codes.
Look for the rightmost 4 characters (
yyyy
in 1xxx
yyyy
) in the error code; this is the reference code. Find
the reference code in Table 7.
Perform all actions before exchanging failing items.

v
Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is
solved. If an action solves the problem, then you can stop performing the remaining actions.
v
See Chapter 3, “Parts listing, Type 8406,” on page 229 to determine which components are CRUs and which
