It was the air feed into the cockpit that used to be fed from one engine, and in the newer model was switched to be fed from the other engine.

The pilots observed or smelled smoke coming in via the cockpit ventilation system, and shut down the engine they believed to be feeding the cockpit, not realising Boeing had changed the design and the cockpit was now fed from the other engine to the older model.
