Event logs

Error codes and messages displayed in POST event log, system-event log,
integrated management module (IMM2.1) event log, and DSA event log.
v POST event log: This log contains the most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST. You can view the contents of the POST event
log from the Setup utility (see "Starting the Setup utility" on page 40). For more
information about POST error codes, see Appendix B, "UEFI/POST diagnostic
codes," on page 665.
v System-event log: This log contains POST and system management interrupt
(SMI) events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module (IMM). You
can view the contents of the system-event log through the Setup utility and
through the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) program (as IPMI event log).
The system-event log is limited in size. When it is full, new entries will not
overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the
system-event log through the Setup utility. When you are troubleshooting an
error, you might have to save and then clear the system-event log to make the
