Note: You can use an evntlist.htm page to change the severity level assigned to a specific event. For more information, see How to Configure Individual Events on page 59.

For information about the event log, see Event Log on page 51; for information about the UPS, Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card, and Management Card events, including the default severity level for each event, see Management Card and Device Events on page 61; for information about Email notifications, see Email on page 56.

Severity levels With the exception of some system (Management Card) events that do not have a severity level assigned, each event is assigned a default severity level based on the type of action that is required when the event occurs.

Informational: Indicates an event that requires no action, such as a notification of a return from an abnormal condition.

Warning: Indicates an event that may need to be addressed if the condition continues, but which does not require immediate attention.

Severe: Indicates an event that requires immediate attention. Unless resolved, UPS and Management Card severe events can cause incorrect operation of the UPS or its supported equipment, or can result in the loss of UPS protection during a power failure. Environmental Monitoring SmartSlot Card severe events warn of abnormal environmental conditions or possible security violations.

Note: To use an evntlist.htm page to change the severity level assigned to a specific event, see How to Configure Individual Events on page 59.
