Service information messages

The system generates service information messages (SIMs) to identify normal operations, service
requirements, and failures. SIMs are generated by the SVP and the system microprocessors. Your HP
support representative uses the SIMs to monitor and troubleshoot the system. You can view SIMs using
the system's management software.

Failure detection and reporting process

If a failure occurs in the system, the failure is detected and reported to the system log, the SIM log,
and the HP STC, as shown in

on the Device Manager server as remote SIMs (R-SIMs).If the system is not set up for remote
support, when a SIM is generated, the amber message LED on the system control panel turns on.
Call HP to determine the reason for the message.
