RE: SRC 11007620

Thank you everyone for your feedback. You all took the time, the least I can do is offer a proper explanation!

I did attempt a google search, but I included the phrase 'iSeries SRC' in my search, which was clearly a mistake. I also attempted to find it on the 'IPL SRC finder', and the 'System reference code list', but they drew blanks.

This is not intentionally a ruse, but I cannot be sure I do not also have another issue! The iSeries in question belongs to a previous employer, and I have not looked after it (or any other AS/400) for a few years. The iSeries ran an ERP application which was replaced in 2011. The only requirement of this iSeries now is that it remain available for seven years.

The issue reported to me is that it is not possible for users to connect to the iSeries (via Client Access). It also came up that the Control Panel will show this SRC if you ask it.

It sounds like the fan problem alone is not enough to bring down the iSeries. Is that right?

I have ensured that the Client Access install files are available. I guess I'll be trying to figure out the LAN console IP address, and I'll take it from there.

In my experience i've had only 1 bad fan (and it was enough to bring down the machine, it somehow shorted the PSU enough to bring it down). The rest have been loose fittings between fan and assembly or between the assembly and the backplane. I would first re-seat all those components and only then change a fan...
Otherwise the SRC points to the middle fan (76X0 where X is the FAN position).
