About Your System

Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to

respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a

diskette, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette.

Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by

typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating

system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the

operating system or application.

Diagnostics Messages

The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests

on your system. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on

page 154 for more information about system diagnostics.

Alert Messages

Systems management software generates alert messages for your system. Alert

messages include information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive,

temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information, see the

systems management software documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.
