You can view the contents of the system-error log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program or from the diagnostic programs. Viewing error logs from the Configuration/Setup Utility program Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program; then, select Error Logs from the main menu (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 10). Viewing error logs from diagnostic programs To view error logs from the diagnostic programs, complete the following steps: 1. Start the diagnostic programs (see "Starting the diagnostic programs" on page 15. 2. Select Hardware Info from the top of the diagnostic programs screen. 3. Select System Error Log from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen. Note: The system-error log is available only with the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. Diagnostic programs, error codes, and messages The server diagnostic programs are stored on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists. They are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel. Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears. Error codes that might be displayed are listed at "Diagnostic error codes" on page 104. Notes: 1. Depending on the server configuration, some of the error codes might not appear when you run the diagnostic programs. 2. If diagnostic error codes appear that are not listed in the tables, make sure that the server has the latest levels of BIOS, Remote Supervisor Adapter II, and ServeRAID code installed. 14 xSeries 226 Type 8488 and 8648: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Diagnostic
programs,
error
codes,
and
messages
The
server
diagnostic
programs
are
stored
on
the
IBM
Enhanced
Diagnostics
CD
.
These
programs
are
the
primary
method
of
testing
the
major
components
of
the
server.
Diagnostic
error
messages
indicate
that
a
problem
exists.
They
are
not
intended
to
be
used
to
identify
a
failing
part.
Troubleshooting
and
servicing
of
complex
problems
that
are
indicated
by
error
messages
should
be
performed
by
trained
service
personnel.
Sometimes
the
first
error
to
occur
causes
additional
errors.
In
this
case,
the
server
displays
more
than
one
error
message.
Always
follow
the
suggested
action
instructions
for
the

you
run
the
diagnostic
programs.
2.
If
diagnostic
error
codes
appear
that
are
not
listed
in
the
tables,
make
sure
that
the
server
has
the
latest
levels
of
BIOS,
Remote
