Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there
are no other error indications, clear the BMC system-event log. This log
does not clear itself, and if it begins to fill up, the system-error LED will be
lit. Also, after you complete a repair or correct an error, clear the BMC
system-event log to turn off the system-error LED on the front of the server.
