Notes: v The BMC log is limited in size and is designed so that when the log is full, new entries will not overwrite existing entries; therefore, you must periodically clear the BMC log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program (the menu choices are described in the User's Guide). v When troubleshooting an error, make sure to clear the BMC log so that you can find current errors more easily. v Entries written to the BMC log early in the POST procedure will show an incorrect date as the default timestamp; however, the date and time will correct itself as POST continues. v Each BMC log entry appears on its own page; to display all the data for an entry, use the up arrow (-) and down arrow (-) or the Page Up and Page Down keys. To move from one entry to the next, move the cursor to the Get Next Entry or Get Previous Entry line; then, press Enter. v The log indicates an Assertion Event when an event has occurred. It indicates a Deassertion Event when the event is no longer occurring. v Some of the error codes and messages in the BMC log are abbreviated. v Viewing the BMC log through the web interface of the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine allows all messages to be translated. The following illustration shows an example of a BMC log entry. BMC System Event Log Get Next Entry Get Previous Entry Clear BMC SEL Entry Number= Record ID= Record Type= Timestamp= Entry Details: 00005 / 00011 0005 02 2005/01/25 16:15:17 Generator ID= 0020 Sensor Type= 04 Assertion Event Fan Threshold Lower Non-critical - going high Sensor Number= 40 Event Direction/Type= 01 Event Data= 52 00 1A You can view the contents of the POST error log, the BMC log, and the system-error log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. You can view the contents of the BMC log also from the diagnostic programs. Note: When troubleshooting PCI-X slots, note that the error logs report the PCI-X buses numerically. The numerical assignments vary depending on the configuration. You can check the assignments by running the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see the User's Guide for more information).
