Event/error logs
The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that
the system generated during POST. The System Event/Error Log contains all error
messages issued during POST and all system status messages from the Advanced
System Management Processor. In event of a POST error, check the System
Event/Error Log as it may indicate the most recent errors commonly associated with
typical hardware failures. It may not detect all hardware failures but many times will
provide an indicator as to the nature of key failures.

POST diagnostic programs
The appliance diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory
(ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the
major components of your appliance.

major components of your appliance.
Diagnostic program error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not
intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of
complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by
trained service personnel. For a list of error messages and associated actions that
you can take, see Table 17 on page 92.

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the
appliance displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested
action instructions for the first error message that appears.
