12.2.1

FP (NMI) Interrupt – Next Steps

The purpose of this button is for diagnosing software issues

– when a critical interrupt is generated the OS typically saves a memory dump.

This allows for exact analysis of what is going on in system memory, which can be useful for software developers, or for troubleshooting OS,
software and driver issues.

If this button was not actually pressed, you should ensure there is no physical fault with the front panel.

This event only gets logged if a user pressed the NMI button, and although it causes the OS to crash, is not an error.

12.3 Button Press Events

The BMC logs when the front panel power and reset buttons get pressed. This is purely for informational purposes and these events do not
indicate errors.
