Error
logs
The
POST
error
log
contains
the
three
most
recent
error
codes
and
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST.
The
system
event/error
log
contains
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST
and
all
system
status
messages
from
the
service
processor.
The
system
event/error
log
is
limited
in
size.
When
the
log
is
full,
new
entries
will
not
overwrite
existing
entries;
therefore,
you
must
periodically
clear
the
system
event/error
log
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(the
menu
choices
are
described
in
the
User’s
Guide
).
When
you
are
troubleshooting
an
error,
be
sure
to
clear
the
system
event/error
log
so
that
you
can
find
current
errors
more
easily.
Entries
that
are
written
to
the
system
event/error
log
during
the
early
phase
of
POST
show
an
incorrect
date
and
time
as
the
default
time
stamp;
however,
the
date
and
time
are
corrected
as
POST
continues.
Each
system
event/error
log
entry
appears
on
its
own
page.
To
move
from
one
entry
to
the
next,
use
the
Up
Arrow
(
↑
)
and
Down
Arrow
(
↓
)
keys.
When
you
are
troubleshooting
PCI
or
PCI
Express
slots,
note
that
the
error
logs
report
the
PCI
or
PCI
Express
buses
numerically.
The
numerical
assignments
vary
depending
on
the
configuration.
You
can
check
the
assignments
by
running
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(see
the
User’s
Guide
for
more
information).

view
the

of
the
POST
error
