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/openmanagemanuals
> OpenManage software.

Warning messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to respond before the system
continues a task. For example, before you format a hard drive, a message warns you that you may lose all
data on the hard drive. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by typing
y (yes) or n (no).
