This procedure is for boot failures that terminate very early in the boot process.

This error path is indicated when the SRC data words are scrolling automatically through control panel functions 11, 12, and 13, and the control panel interface buttons are not responsive.

Perform the following:

  1. Is the system a 9119-FHB or a 9125-F2C?
    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: Save any error log and dump data and contact your next level of support for assistance. This ends the procedure.
  2. Push the white power button to reset the system and start it on the other side of the platform Licensed Internal Code.
    Note: The white power button will only reset the system and attempt to reach standby.
  3. Did an SRC occur after starting the system on the other side?
    • No: Verify that the system's firmware is at the latest level. Update the system's firmware on the failing side if necessary. Perform LICCODE. This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
  4. Is the SRC the same SRC that brought you to this procedure?
    • No: Return to Start of call to service this new SRC. This ends the procedure.
