Removing LCD Status Messages

For faults associated with sensors, such as temperature, voltage, fans, and so

on, the LCD message is automatically removed when that sensor returns to a

normal state. For example, if temperature for a component goes out of range,

the LCD displays the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable

range, the message is removed from the LCD. For other faults, you must take

action to remove the message from the display:

• Clear the SEL—You can perform this task remotely, but you will lose the

event history for the system.

• Power cycle—Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical

outlet; wait approximately ten seconds, reconnect the power cable, and

restart the system.

Any of these actions will remove fault messages, and return the status

indicators and LCD colors to the normal state. Messages will reappear under

the following conditions:

• The sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new

SEL entry.

• The system is reset and new error events are detected.
• A failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same

display entry.

System Messages

System messages appear on the screen to notify you of a possible problem

with the system.

NOTE:

If you receive a system message not listed in the table, check the

documentation for the application that is running when the message appears or the

operating system's documentation for an explanation of the message and

recommended action.
