Alert Log Messages From the Dell HIP Program

The Dell Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) server management application program generates alert messages which appear in the simple network manage- ment protocol (SNMP) trap log file. To see the trap log, select any enterprise under the SNMP trap log icon. (More information about the Alert Log window and
