System-Error Log Messages - IBM System x3500 Service Manual

System-error log messages

A system-error log is generated only if a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is
installed. The system-error log can contain messages of three types:
Information
Warning
Error
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of
the message (POST/BIOS or the service processor).
Note: The BMC log, which you can view through the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, also contains many information, warning, and error messages.
In the following example, the system-error log message indicates that the server
was turned on at the recorded time.
The following table describes the possible system-error log messages and
suggested actions to correct the detected problems.

Information messages do not require action; they record significant
system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate
possible problems, such as when the recommended maximum
ambient temperature is exceeded.
Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors,
such as when a fan is not detected.
