IBM iSeries 800 Analyze Hardware Problems (System Reference Codes

The following gives background information regarding processor / memory SRC
formats and control panel functions.
Collect data from Functions 11, 12, and 13 of the system panel, or words 1 through
9 from the Main Store Dump (MSD) screen. This SRC, beginning with ″B4″, may
contain up to five FRUs. Eight characters of this data represent a single FRU. The
FRU characters have two parts: a unit reference code, and a type number. The type
number is usually a CCIN. If the number is 0000, either the fix will involve
software, or the CCIN for the failed hardware cannot be determined without using
the procedure to which you will be directed. The location of this data is shown
below:
PANEL FUNC 11: B4xx____ RC01TP01

PANEL FUNC 12: DATA0012 DATA0013
TP02TP03 TP04TP05
PANEL FUNC 13: DATA0016 DATA0017
DATA0018 DATA0019
The FRU information for FRU 1 would be RC01 and TP01, for FRU 2 would be
RC02 and TP02, etc.
Characters Description / Meaning Length
RC01 FRU 1 - Ref Code 4 Characters
TP01 FRU 1 - Type 4 Characters
RC02 FRU 2 - Ref Code 4 Characters
TP02 FRU 2 - Type 4 Characters
RC03, TP03, RC04, TP04, RC05, TP05 same as above.

Miscellaneous Data - Not applicable, but
may be needed for your next level of
support.

The example below shows relevant data for three FRUs:
RC01=4300, TP01=244A, RC02=8200, TP02=2884, RC03=8100, TP03=2884,
the remaining values are zeroes.
