Viewing event logs through the Setup utility
To view the POST event log or system-event log, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a

Viewing event logs without restarting the server
If the server is not hung and the IMM is connected to a network, methods are
available for you to view one or more event logs without having to restart the
server.

information about POST error codes, see Appendix B, "UEFI (POST) error
codes," on page 309.
(SMI) events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module (IMM). You
can view the contents of the system-event log through the Setup utility and
through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as IPMI event log).
The system-event log is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not
overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the
system-event log through the Setup utility. When you are troubleshooting an
error, you might have to save and then clear the system-event log to make the
most recent events available for analysis. For more information about the
system-event log, see Appendix A, "Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
error messages," on page 185.
Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected
message are displayed on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry
to the next, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys.
Some IMM sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are
reached. When a setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding deassertion
event is logged. However, not all events are assertion-type events.
filtered subset of all IMM, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI)
events. You can view the IMM event log through the IMM web interface. For
more information, see "Logging on to the web interface" on page 36. You can
also view the IMM event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
program (as the ASM event log). For more information about IMM error
messages, see Appendix A, "Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) error
messages," on page 185.

the IPMI event log), the IMM chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the
operating-system event logs. You can view the DSA event log through the DSA
program (see "Viewing event logs without restarting the server"). For more
information about DSA and DSA messages, see "IBM Dynamic System Analysis"
on page 58 and Appendix C, "DSA diagnostic test results," on page 321.
