About system messages
The following messages are displayed to indicate system status:
• Normal BIOS messages — These messages can be observed on a locally connected VGA monitor
during normal startup processes.
• BIOS POST error messages — If there is a problem these messages are displayed on a locally
connected VGA monitor. During the Power On Self Test (POST), the BIOS checks for problems
and displays these messages.
• AppCenter startup messages — As AppCenter opens the system determines if health is adequate
by checking critical subsystems. A dialog box is displayed that indicates progress and displays
messages.
• Status bar and StatusPane messages — During normal operation AppCenter displays system
status messages on the status bar. From the status bar you can open the StatusPane to see both
current and previous messages. You can observe these messages in AppCenter on a locally
connected VGA monitor or on a network connected control point PC.
• Storage Utility messages — While you are using Storage Utility, pop-up message boxes inform
you of the current status of the storage system.
• NetCentral messages — If you are monitoring the system with NetCentral, the NetCentral
interface displays a variety of messages and other status indicators. Refer to the NetCentral Help
menu for a complete list of all the messages that a monitored device can send.
