software and platform hardware. This is an informational feature which returns the status code of the

BMC micro controller.

viewing of each event by scrolling down on an Entry Number and pressing Enter.

able. Make absolutely sure you no longer need any data stored in the log before clearing the BMC

Event Log.

Address are automatically assigned by the network's DHCP server (Dynamic Host and Configuration
