system events occurring with the devices on your system.
To view Events:

appears, displaying a list of events, and, if available,
comments on the event in the Event Details area to the
right of the event listing.
2 Using the date and time selectors, choose the period for
which you want to see events. Enter a date (using format
MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM) or use the calendar button to
specify a date range.
3 Using the buttons to the right of the date and time
selectors, select or deselect buttons to see specific types
of event details. After selecting an event type button to
filter your results, select
