Note: The hard shutdown alert is sent only if a soft shutdown alert has

not yet been sent.

Warning Reset

When the voltage drops below or exceeds the warning voltage range
and then recovers to that range, the server assumes the voltage has
returned to normal and no further alerts are generated.

6. Select Fan Table. The Fan Speeds window displays the running speed of the

server fans (converted to a percentage of the maximum fan speed). A fan alert
(Multiple Fan Failure or Single Fan Failure) is sent to configured remote alert
recipients if the fan speeds drop to an unacceptable speed or the fans stop.

Viewing the event log

The Event Log window displays the server event log and POST event log two
entries at a time. The information depends on whether you are logged in to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter or an ASM processor on an xSeries 330 server. The
Remote Supervisor Adapter time stamps all events and logs them into the event
log, sending out the appropriate alerts if configured to do so by the system
administrator.

The Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM processor event logs display data, such
as:

v

All remote access attempts and dial-out events

v

System resets and restarts

v

ASM interconnect network connections

v

Firmware updates

Note: The event log of a Remote Supervisor Adapter that is installed in an xSeries

330 server does not contain server events. You must log in to the ASM
processor to view the server event log and POST event log.

Complete the following steps to view the event log:

1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see “Accessing

the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or “Accessing
the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on page 66.

2. For an x330 server: If you want to view the ASM processor event log, log in to

the ASM processor. For more information, see “Accessing remote adapters
through an ASM interconnect network” on page 67.

3. In the Advanced System Management window, select Event Log. The Event

Log window opens.

4. Select View Event Log to view the two most recent events on your server.

The events are given the following levels of severity:
