IPL SRC Format Description:
As the system performs an IPL, SRCs appear on the control panel. The SRCs
indicate the status of the IPL and are often useful in problem analysis.
The following list provides information on the IPL process and shows some
SRCs (in numeric order) that can appear during an IPL.
