System-Error Log Messages - IBM System x3200 Problem Determination And Service Manual

System-error log messages

A system-error log is generated by both the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine
and the mini-BMC. The system-error log can contain messages of three types:
Information
Warning
Error
Each message contains date and time information, and it indicates the source of
the message (POST/BIOS or the service processor).
In the following example, the system-error log message indicates that the server
was turned on at the recorded time.
The following table describes the possible system-error log messages and
suggested actions to correct the detected problems.
v Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem
is solved.
v See Chapter 3, "Parts listing, System x3200 Types 4362 and 4363," on page 67 to determine which
components are customer replaceable units (CRU) and which components are field replaceable units
(FRU).
v If an action step is preceded by "(Trained service technician only)," that step must be performed only by a
trained service technician.

System x3200 Types 4362 and 4363: Problem Determination and Service Guide
Information messages do not require action; they record significant
system-level events, such as when the server is started.
Warning messages do not require immediate action; they indicate
possible problems, such as when the recommended maximum
ambient temperature is exceeded.
Error messages might require action; they indicate system errors,
such as when a fan is not detected.
