About Your System
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 perform this task from the system management
software, 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.
Either of the preceding actions will remove fault messages and return the
status indicators and LCD colors to the normal state. Error messages will
reappear under the following conditions:
• The sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new
SEL entry.
• A new error event is detected.
• A failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same display
entry.
System Messages
System messages appear on the screen to notify you of a possible problem
with the system. Table 1-7 lists the system messages that can occur and the
probable cause and corrective action for each message.
NOTE:
If you receive a system message that is not listed in Table 1-7, check the
documentation for the application that is running when the message appears or the
operating system's documentation for an explanation of the message and
recommended action.
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
