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 need 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 shipped with the operating system or application.

Diagnostic messages

The system diagnostic utility will generate messages if there are errors detected when you run diagnostic
tests on your system. For more information about system diagnostics, see the Using system diagnostics
section.
