Table 3. The system is not operational
Symptom
There is an IPL problem, the system attention light is on,
and blocks of data appear for 5 seconds at a time before
moving to the next block of data for 5 seconds, and so on

functioning.
v There is an SRC on the panel of an I/O expansion
tower owned by a secondary partition.
v You suspect a power problem with resources owned by
