The event log holds up to 512 events, and can display or print all
events in a category (complete), or only those events in a category
occurring since the last "Clear Event Log" command (recent). Note
that once the event log is full, the oldest event will be erased upon
the logging of any new event. Press the desired Display Mode key,
0 or 1.
The system allows viewing of any partition's event log. Enter the
partition number for the partition whose events are to be displayed.
Entering 0 (NO) will display all events that occurred in the system,
regardless of partition. Events are displayed in chronological
order, from most recent to oldest.
For display and printing purposes, events are stored on a partition-
by-partition basis (except system events), and are grouped into five
categories, as follows.

have been restored in selected partition.
