System event log
The system-event log contains messages of three types:
Information
Information messages do not require action; they record significant
system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate possible
problems, such as when the recommended maximum ambient temperature
is exceeded.
Error Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors, such as
when a fan is not detected.
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of the
message (POST).
Diagnostic LEDs on the front control panel
Identifying the diagnostic LEDs on the front control panel is a very important
method for diagnosing server problems. See “Front control panel” on page 12 for
detailed information.
Onboard debug digitron
The onboard debug digitron helps trained service technicians to identify server
problems. When you turn on the server, the onboard debug digitron will display
debug code on the screen.
