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

The following table describes the possible system-error log messages and
suggested actions to correct the detected problems.
v
Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v See Chapter 3, “Parts listing, Type 8878 and 8879,” on page 109 to determine which components are
customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units (FRU).
v
If an action step is preceded by “(Trained service technician only),” that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.
