Re: 520 boot problems

The SRC codes are listed on IBM's site, and I was able to find B114F6D2; "Processor chip missing fusemap data in VPD. Note: Repair the serviceable even that sent you here. If the FRU list is empty, call the next level of support"

I wasn't able to find the other code specifically, but it may reference the lack of bootable media?

I've always just tried googling the SRC's, and had pretty good luck.

I have a power 5 520 that was purchased on ebay with no drives. The
system does not boot when I put in either two 4327 drives or two 4319
drives.

The amber alarm light is always on on the front panel.

The two 4327 drives arrived today. The 4319 were drives I had. Right
now the 4327 drives are in the two center slots P3-D2 and P3-D3

The funny thing about the drives is the green LED lights up green on
the front of one of the 4319 drives. The other drives do not light up.
And that 4319 will light up no matter the slot it is in.

When booting, the SRC B114 F6D2 will display. That SRC stays on the
panel for 30 seconds, followed by the system powering down.

Another SRC I get is B181 F665. I get this SRC in place of the B114
F6D2 when I boot the system without the 4319 drive without the green
LED in the system.

Any idea why the system is not booting? Where do I find the SRC codes?

thanks,
