Using system event logs

The system event logs record all the hardware events that take place while the system boots up and functions. You can view these logs even when the system is not operational through the utilities on the CallPilot Image DVD.

ATTENTION
	This tool is only intended for use by authorized level 2
	support personnel under Nortel supervision.

The system event logs can only hold 2000 events and display a warning message when full. You must clear the logs to turn off the warning message. Refer to “To clear system event logs” on page 194.

Even if your system is not operational, you can save the system event logs to an optional USB media drive. Your support representative can use the logs to diagnose hardware faults. Refer to “To save system event logs to a USB media drive” on page 194.
