messages that were issued during POST and all system status messages from the
Advanced Systems Management processor.
To view the contents of the System Event/Error log, start the Configuration/Setup

Diagnostic programs and error messages
The appliance server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only
memory (ROM) on the system board or on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD that
comes with the appliance server. These programs are the primary method of testing
the major components of your appliance server.
Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be
used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that
are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel.
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the appliance
server displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action
instructions for the first error message that appears.
The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed test
log and summary log when running the diagnostic programs.
The error code format is as follows:
fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message
where:
fff
ttt
iii
