This screen provides logging information on the System, the MV-CTL card and MV-VIP4 
cards. For example, see Figure 107.

A comprehensive log of the activities of the complete chassis is kept. This is accessible via 
the System tab.

A log is kept of each detected card and can be viewed independently by clicking on the tab 
above the corresponding card.

This log information is intended for use by the SAM support staff.
The log information can be saved as a file by clicking on the 

Save All

 button. 

The resulting file can be emailed to SAM support if requested.
