A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you

format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette, as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the
data. These warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).

 

Diagnostics Messages

 

When you run system diagnostics, an error message may result. Diagnostic error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of

the Diagnostics Checklist (located in "Getting Help" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide), and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining
technical assistance.

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.
