a field service technician.
Service processor problems
Symptom
Service processor in the
management module reports
a general monitor failure.

Error messages and error codes

The system BIOS displays error messages on the video screen during POST if
errors are detected. POST error codes are logged in the event log.
The blade server has local system event log logging capability. The local system
event log is stored in and updated by the baseboard management controller (BMC).
For information about accessing the system event log, see "Viewing the test log" on
page 27. System event log entries logged by the BMC and system event log entries
logged by the management module might be different for the same event type.

Service processor error messages

Note: These codes are viewed in the BladeCenter management-module log.
When viewed from the system-error log, service processor error messages will
appear as text. To determine a possible error condition for the service processor,
the system-error log (see "System errors" on page 100) will refer you to the
management-module log in the BladeCenter unit.
