Responding to a Dell HIP Alert Message

The Dell Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) server management application program monitors critical system voltages and temperatures, the system cooling fans, and the status of the SCSI hard-disk drives in the computer. The program generates alert messages that appear in the simple network management protocol (SNMP) trap log file. (More information about the Alert Log window and options is provided in the Dell HIP online help and the Dell HIP User’s Guide.)

Table 3-3 lists important HIP alert log messages, along with their probable causes and recommended actions.
