38 About Your System
• 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.
