diagnostic event log (requires IPMI driver) or create an
output file that you can send to Lenovo service and

• Use IPMItool to view the system-event log (requires
IPMI driver).
• Use the Web browser interface to the IMM to view the
system-event log locally (requires RNDIS USB LAN

The server is not hung and the integrated management
module II (IMM2.1) is connected to a network. In a Web browser, type the IP address for the IMM2.1
and go to the
Event Log page. For more information, see
“Obtaining the IMM host name” on page 37 and “Logging
on to the Web interface” on page 38.
The server is hung, and no communication can be made
with the IMM. • If DSA Preboot is installed, restart the server and press
F2
to start DSA Preboot and view the event logs (see
“Running the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs” on
page 61 for more information).
• Alternatively, you can restart the server and press
F1
to
start the Setup Utility and view the POST event log or
system-event log. For more information, see “Viewing
event logs through the Setup Utility” on page 58.
Clearing the event logs
Use this information to clear the event logs.
To clear the event logs, complete the following steps:
Note: The POST error log is automatically cleared each time the server is restarted.
Step 1. Turn on the server.
Step 2. When the prompt
<F1> Setup
is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password
and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to view the event logs.
Step 3. To clear the IMM system-event log, select System Event Logs ➙ Clear System Event Log ,
then, press Enter twice.
POST
When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the server components
and some optional devices in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
Note: This server does not use beep codes for server status.
