IBM E10, Service Manual, Page: 231 / 279

The progress indicators are displayed in two sections. Above the dashed line are the progress indicators
from the boot that produced the current sessions. Below the dashed line are progress indicators from
the boot preceding the one that produced the current sessions.
The progress indication codes are chronological from bottom to top. The dashed line merely represents
the point where the latest boot started.

Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays the SP error logs.
The time stamp in this error log is Coordinated Universal Time (CUT), also known as Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). AIX error logs have more information available and are able to time stamp with local time.
See 231 for an example of the error log.
v
Read System POST Errors
Selecting this item lets you review the results of the POST (Power-On Self Test). Your server may be
able to start in the presence of POST errors if there is sufficient working system resources. If POST
errors occur during start-up, this error log when used with the diagnostics helps to isolate faults.
v
View System Environmental Conditions
On selection of this menu, the SP reads all environmental sensors and reports the results to the user.
This option maybe useful when surveillance fails, as it allows the user to determine the environmental
conditions that may be related to the failure. See 219 for an example of the System Environmental
Conditions screen.
