A description of each message type with an example message follows.

Warning

Warnings tell you how to avoid physical injury to people or equipment. For example:.

WARNING: The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server does not turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must unplug the AC power cord from either the power supply or the wall outlet.

Caution

Cautions tell you how to avoid a serious loss that could cause physical damage such as the loss of data, time, or security. You should carefully consider this information when determining a course of action or procedure. For example:

CAUTION: You should disable password caching in the browser you use to access the LSM. If you do not disable password caching in your browser, and your workstation is not secured, your system security may be compromised.
