System messages

For a list of event and error messages generated by the system firmware and agents that monitor system
components, see the Dell Event and Error Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.

Warning messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible issue and prompts you to respond before the system
continues a task. For example, before you format a HDD, a message warns you that you may lose all data
on the HDD. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by typing y (yes) or
n (no).
NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating system. For more
information, see the documentation that accompanied the operating system or application.

Diagnostic messages

The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests on your system. For more
information about system diagnostics, see the Using System Diagnostics section in this document.

Alert messages

The systems management software generates alert messages for your system. Alert messages include
information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For
more information, see the systems management software documentation.
