Error
logs
The

log
contains
the
three
most
recent
error
codes
and
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST.
The
BMC
log
and
the
system-event
log
contain
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST
and
all
system
status
messages
from
the
service
processor.
The
following
illustration
shows
an
example
of

The
BMC
log
is
limited
in
size.
When
the
log
is
full,
new
entries
will
not
overwrite
existing
entries;
therefore,
you
must
periodically
clear
the
BMC
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
BMC
log
so
that
you
can
find
current
errors
more
easily.
Important:
After
you
complete
a
repair
or
correct
an
error,
clear
the
BMC
log
to
turn
off
the
system-error
LED
on
the
front
of
the
server.
Entries
that
are
written
to
the
BMC
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
BMC
log
entry
appears
on
its
own
page.
To
display
all
of
the
data
for
an
entry,
use
the
Up
Arrow
(
↑
)
and
Down
Arrow
(
↓
)
keys
or
the
Page
Up
and
Page
Down
keys.
To
move
from
one
entry
to
the
next,
select
Get
Next
Entry
or
Get
Previous
Entry
.
The
log
indicates
an
assertion
event
when
an
event
has
occurred.
It
indicates
a
deassertion
event
when
the
event
is
no
longer
occurring.
Some
of
the
error
codes
and
messages
in
the
BMC
log
are
abbreviated.
If
you
view
the
BMC
log
through
the
Web
interface
of
the
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
the
messages
can
be
translated.
You
can
view
the
contents
of
the
POST
error
log,
the
BMC
log,
and
the
system-error
log
from
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
