Hi folks,

 

Had a friend contact me and they were firing up a 250 that had not been on
in some time. They have the System Attention light on and B1014507
displayed. I tried searching and found:

 

B1xx 4507 

 

These SRCs appear if the tape device for the alternate IPL was not found or
was not ready. Make sure the tape device is powered on and the correct tape
is loaded and ready. To make tape devices ready, you may need to open and
close the tape device door. 

Then perform the appropriate procedure under Installation
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/c415120633.htm#HDRK
WICSRC>  Recovery after SRCs. 

But this seems to be in reference to loading a system or something (?)  and
they are not (intentionally) trying to do that.

They  checked and there was a tape loaded in the tape drive and they took it
out and re-IPL'd and got the SAME thing. The door on the tape unit is shut
good.

Anyone have any idea what this could be ?

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
