Event Logs - Lenovo 3633 Installation And Service Manual

2. When this LED goes off momentarily, this indicates that the IMM2.1 code has loaded completely.
3. When this LED goes off momentarily and then starts blinking slowing (approximately 1 Hz), this indicates
that IMM2.1 is fully operational. You can now press the power-control button to power on the server.
4. (Trained technician only) If this LED does not blink within 30 seconds of connecting a power source to
the server, replace the system board.

Event logs

Error codes and messages are recorded in various event logs, including the POST event log, system-event
log, Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1) event log, and DSA event log.
• POST event log: This log contains the most recent error codes and messages that were generated during
the POST. You can view the contents of the POST event log from Setup Utility. See
Utility program" on page
error codes" on page
• System-event log: This log contains POST and system management interrupt (SMI) events and all events
that are generated by the baseboard management controller that is embedded in the Integrated
Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1). You can view the contents of the system-event log through Setup
Utility and through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as IPMI event log).The system-event log
is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must
periodically clear the system-event log through the Setup Utility. When you are troubleshooting an error,
you might have to save and then clear the system-event log to make the most recent events available for
analysis. For more information about the system-event log, see
Module 2.1 (IMM2.1) error messages" on page
Messages are listed on the left side of the screen, and details about the selected message are displayed
on the right side of the screen. To move from one entry to the next, use the up and down arrow keys.
Some IMM2.1 sensors cause assertion events to be logged when their setpoints are reached. When a
setpoint condition no longer exists, a corresponding event is logged. However, not all events are
assertion-type events.
• Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1) event log: This log contains a filtered subset of all
IMM2.1, POST, and system management interrupt (SMI) events. You can view the IMM2.1 event log
through the IMM2.1 Web interface. For more information, see
36. You can also view the IMM2.1 event log through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot program
(as the ASM event log). For more information about IMM2.1 error messages, see
Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1) error messages" on page
• DSA event log: This log is generated by the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot program, and it is a
chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the IMM2.1 chassis-event
log (as the ASM event log). For more information about DSA and DSA messages, see
Analysis" on page 56
Viewing event logs through Setup Utility
To view the POST event log or system-event log after starting the server, do the following:
Step 1. Turn on the server.
Step 2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password
and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to view the event logs.
Step 3. Select System Event Log and do one of the following:
• To view the POST event log, select POST Event Viewer.
• To view the system-event log, select System Event Log.
