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 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.
System Messages
System messages appear on the screen to notify you of a possible problem with the system. Table 1-8 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 1-8, 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: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety
precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
