System Event Log messages

The baseboard management controller (BMC) system event log (SEL) contains up to 512 of the
most recent service processor errors in IPMI format. These messages are a combination of plain text
and error code numbers. The SEL can be viewed using the SEL Viewer utility, the Diagnostics
utility, and the Configuration Setup utility as described below:
The SEL Viewer utility provides the capability to examine all SEL records in either text or
hexadecimal format, to save the SEL to a file, to examine previously stored SEL records from a
file, to sort all SEL records by various fields in text format, and to clear all SEL entries.
The Diagnostics utility provides the capability to view and save all SEL records in text format.
To view the SEL from the Diagnostics menu, select Hardware > BMC Log.
The Configuration Setup utility only allows you the ability to view each individual SEL record
separately. No additional functions/capabilities are available. To view individual SEL records
from the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, select Advanced>Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) Settings>BMC System Event Log.
