System Error log entries The system error log is similar to an event log and can contain messages of three major types: Information Information messages do not require action and record significant system-level events. Example: 'System Complex Powered Up' Warning Warning messages indicate possible problems but do not require immediate action. Example: 'System over recommended ambient temperature' Error Error messages indicate system errors that may require attention. Example: 'Fan 2 not detected' Note: In a 16-way configuration, each chassis generates its own System Error log. System Error log messages can originate from several sources. v POST/BIOS v SMI Handler v Service Processor Each entry contains date and time information, which is useful in determining the nature of the occurrence.
