Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you
format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette. Warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to
respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).
Diagnostics Messages
When you run a test group or subtest in system diagnostics, an error message may result. Diagnostic error messages are not covered in this section. The
message usually provides information for identification of the faulty component.
Alert Messages
The optional systems management software generates alert messages for your system. For example, the software generates messages that appear in the
SNMP trap log file. Alert messages consist of information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more
information, see the systems management software documentation.
System Board LED Codes
Errors that cannot be reported on the monitor during the boot routine can appear on the system board as a series of five lit or flashing LEDs. The LEDs can
only be seen when the system cover is removed (see Figure 3-9). Table 3-12 defines these LED codes.
