Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to

respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format

a diskette, a message warns you that you may lose all data on the diskette.

Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond

by typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the

operating system. For more information, see the documentation that

accompanied the application or operating system.

Diagnostics Messages

The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests

on your system. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on

page 178 for more information about system diagnostics.

Alert Messages

Systems management software generates alert messages for your system.

Alert messages include information, status, warning, and failure messages

for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information,

see the systems management software documentation.
