•Description - a brief description of the event.

•Severity - the severity of the event (Informational, Minor, Major, or Severe).

•FRU-Position - an acronym representing the FRU or non-FRU element, followed by a number representing the FRU or chassis position. The acronyms are:

—SFP - Small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver. Chassis slots for SFPs inserted in a port are 0 through 15. The SFPs are FRUs.

—PWR - power supply. Chassis slots for redundant power supplies are 0 and 1. The power supplies are FRUs.

—FAN - cooling fan. Chassis slots for redundant fans are 0 through 5 (cooling fans). The cooling fans are FRUs.

—CTP - control processor (CTP) card. The chassis slot is 0. The CTP card is not a FRU.

—THM - thermal sensor. The chassis slot is 0 (on the CTP card). The thermal sensor is not a FRU.
