System-error log messages

A system-error log is generated only if a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed. The system-error log can contain messages of three types:

Information	Information messages do not require action; they record significant
	system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning	Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate
	possible problems, such as when the recommended maximum
	ambient temperature is exceeded.
Error	Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors,
	such as when a fan is not detected.

Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of the message (POST/BIOS or the service processor).

Note: The BMC log, which you can view through the Configuration/Setup Utility program, also contains many information, warning, and error messages.

In the following example, the system-error log message indicates that the server was turned on at the recorded time.
