Dell PowerEdge 1650 - Manual (Page 21)

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, as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the
data. These 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 the system diagnostics, an error message may result. These particular error messages are not covered in this
section. Record the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (see "
Getting Help "), and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical
assistance.
Alert Messages
The optional system management software generates alert messages for your system. For example, the server agent 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. More information about alert messages is provided in the system management software documentation found on the documentation CD that
shipped with your system.
