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 289.
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.
• Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) event log: This log contains a 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 105. 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 289.
• DSA event log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program, and it is a
chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as 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" on page 126). For more information
about DSA and DSA messages, see Appendix C "DSA diagnostic test results" on page 657 and "Dynamic
System Analysis" on page 129.
For more information about viewing the logs or clearing the logs, see "Viewing event logs through the Setup
utility" on page 126, "Viewing event logs without restarting the server" on page 126, and "Clearing the error
logs" on page 128.
Viewing event logs through the Setup utility
Use this information to view the event logs through the Setup utility.
To view the POST event log or system-event log, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Turn on the server.
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. Select System Event Logs and use one of the following procedures:
• To view the POST event log, select POST Event Viewer.
• To view the system-event log, select System Event Log.
Viewing event logs without restarting the server
Use this information to view the 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.
If you have installed Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Portable, you can use it to view the system-event log
(as the IPMI event log), or the IMM event log (as the ASM event log), the operating-system event logs, or the
merged DSA log. You can also use DSA Preboot to view these logs, although you must restart the server to
use DSA Preboot. The server comes with DSA Preboot stored in integrated USB memory. To install DSA
