Error Logs 5-23
Displaying an Error Frame
1.
To display the error frame, enter AlphaBIOS Setup and select the Utilities
menu.
2.
From the Utilities menu, select Display Error Frames….
If there is no error frame in the flash ROM, a screen with the message “No
Error Frame in the flash ROM” is displayed. If there is an error frame, a
screen similar to Figure 5–7 is displayed.
Figure 5–7 shows two error frames:
•
“Fatal Error Frame [NEW]” is a new error frame that has not yet been
copied to the system event log for analysis. If the System Error Logging
Software for Alpha kit is installed, you can view the error frame in the
system event log at the next operating system boot.
•
“Double Error Halt [OLD]” is an old error frame that was previously copied
to the system event log for analysis.
Clearing an Error Frame Log from Flash
Error frame logs remain in flash ROM and can be viewed through the
AlphaBIOS error log browser until one of the following occurs:
•
A new error occurrence generates a new log that replaces an old one
•
The user manually deletes a log
An error log might also be removed from flash if AlphaBIOS is upgraded to a
newer version that has changed the error log browsing code based on an error
frame version. Older error frame logs are deleted if they cannot be read by the
new code.
