System error messages

System error messages appear on the monitor to notify you of a possible problem with the system. These messages refer to events recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). For information on the SEL and configuring system management settings, see the systems management software documentation.
  • NOTE: If you receive a system error message not listed here, check the documentation of the application that was running when the message was displayed or the operating system's documentation for an explanation of the message and recommended action.
  • NOTE: In some messages, a particular system component is identified by name (“<name>”) component number (“<number>”), or location (“bay”).
