This service aid is only supported by the Standalone Diagnostics. SMIT should be
used to configure ISA adapters for AIX.
ISA adapters cannot be detected by the system.

"Defined State". Do not select the option that places the device in the "Available
State.
Machine Check Error Log Service Aid
Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
Diagnostics.
When a machine check occurs, information is collected and logged in a NVRAM
error log before the system unit shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX
error log and cleared from NVRAM when the system is rebooted from either hard
disk or LAN. The information is not cleared when booting from Standalone
Diagnostics. When booting from Standalone Diagnostics, this service aid can take
the logged information and turn it into a readable format that can be used to isolate
the problem. When booting from the hard disk or LAN, the information can be
viewed from the AIX error log using the Hardware Error Report Service Aid. In either
case the information is analyzed when running the sysplanar diagnostics in
Problem Determination Mode.
