Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette, as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the application program or the operating system. See "Finding Software Solutions," and the documentation that accompanied the operating system and application program for more information on warning messages.

Diagnostics Messages

When you run a test group or subtest in the Dell Diagnostics, an error message may result. These particular error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (see "Getting Help"), and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical assistance.

Alert Log Messages From the Dell OpenManage Server Agent

The optional Dell OpenManage Server Agent management application program generates alert messages that appear in the SNMP trap log file. To see the trap log, select any enterprise under the SNMP trap log icon. Alert log messages consist of information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. More information about the Alert Log window and options is provided in the Dell OpenManage Server Agent documentation found on the Dell Online Documentation CD.
