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.
Select Blade Service Data → blade_name in the management module to see a list of
the 32 most recent SRCs.
