Solving Problems Described by LCD Status Messages
The code and text on the LCD can often specify a very precise fault condition that is easily corrected. For
example, if the code
E1418 CPU_1_Presence appears, you know that a microprocessor is not installed
in socket 1.
In contrast, you might be able to determine the problem if multiple related errors occur. For example, if
you receive a series of messages indicating multiple voltage faults, you might determine that the problem
is a failing power supply.
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.
I1912 SEL Full System Event Log is full of
events, and is unable to log any
more events. Clear the log by deleting event
entries.
