(1xxx) System Power Control Network (SPCN) Reference Codes
The system power control network (SPCN) detected a failure.
Note: The second and third characters of the SRC indicate the frame number of
the failing unit.
Note: The C in the SRC (1xxC xxxx) indicates that the problem is on the Model
840/SB3 processor frame (Not the 9079).
1. Look at the 4 rightmost characters of the Data display for function 11 or
function 5. These 4 characters are the unit reference code.
2. Find the unit reference code in the following table.
Note: xSeries Server (formerly Netfinity) frames will only have the frame
number flashing on the failing unit’s PCI (SPCN) card assembly which is
visible after removing the cover.
