Solving Problems Described by LCD Status Messages

The code and text on the LCD can often specify a very precise fault condition that is easily corrected. For
example, if the code E1418 CPU_1_Presence appears, you know that a microprocessor is not
installed in socket 1.
In contrast, you might be able to determine the problem if multiple related errors occur. For example, if you
receive a series of messages indicating multiple voltage faults, you might determine that the problem is a
failin g power supply.

Removing LCD Status Messages

For faults associated with sensors, such as temperature, voltage, fans, and so on, the LCD message is
automatically removed when that sensor returns to a normal state. For example, if temperature for a
component goes out of range, the LCD displays the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable
range, the message is removed from the LCD. For other faults, you mu st take action to remove the me ssage
from the displ a y:
• Clear the SEL — You can perform this task remotely , but you will lose the event history for the system.
• Power cycle — Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical outlet; wait approximately ten
seconds, reconnect the power cable, and restart the system.
Any of these actions will remove fault messages, and return the status indicators and LCD colors to the
normal state. Messages will reappear under the following conditions:
• The sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new SEL entry.
• The system is reset and new error events are detected.
• A failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same display entry.

and is unable to log any more
events.
Clear the log by deleting event
entries.
