<h1 class="topictitle1">System reference codes</h1>
<div><p>A system reference code (SRC) is a set of eight characters that
identifies the name of the system component that detects the error codes and
the reference code that describes the condition.</p>
<p>The first 4 characters of the SRC indicate the type of error. The last
4 characters give additional information. In this document, when xxxx is shown
as the last 4 characters of the SRC, each x can be any number 0 through 9,
or letter A through F.</p>
<p>When the system detects a problem, it displays an SRC on the system control
panel. When you go through the following problem-analysis procedure, you will
find out how to record the SRC on paper. The information gained from the SRC
can help the hardware service provider better understand the problem and how
to fix it. Also, you might be able to find the SRC in the system reference
code list to resolve it further on your own.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Examples: SRCs</h4><p>The following examples show SRCs
that might occur as the result of an abnormal restart:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example 1:</h4><p>Any B900 xxxx SRC (where xxxx is any
number or letter) during the start of the operating system phase of restart.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example 2:</h4><p>A Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS) command
that was not completed, ending with an SRC of B900 3F10.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="rzahbsrc__rzahbera"><a name="rzahbsrc__rzahbera"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Error codes</h4><p>An error code is a group
of characters or digits displayed on the console. Error codes are displayed
in an error message, recorded in a problem log entry, or shown on the system
control panel.</p>
<p>Error codes indicate that a hardware or software error
condition has occurred in the system.</p>
<p>The system attention
light is turned on when the system detects a hardware error it cannot correct.
An error might result in the loss or corruption of data.</p>
<p>The error code
recorded in the problem log is used to report errors and to perform problem
analysis and resolution. Some error codes have the system automatically collect
associated data that is used to diagnose the problem.</p>
<p>Some error codes
require you to restart the system for recovery, whereas others might be handled
and automatically recovered by the system.</p>
