Event Message Severity Cause
Correctable memory error rate
exceeded for <location>.
Critical This event is generated when correctable
ECC errors reach a critical rate.
Memory device at location
<location> is overheating.
Critical This event is generated when system
memory reaches critical temperature.
An OEM diagnostic event
occurred.
Information This event is generated when an OEM event
occurs. OEM events can be used by the
service team to better understand the cause
of the failure.
CPU <number> protocol error
detected.
Critical This event is generated when the processor
protocol enters a non-recoverable state.
CPU bus parity error detected.
Critical This event is generated when the processor
bus PERR enters a non-recoverable state.
CPU <number> initialization
error detected.
Critical This event is generated when the processor
initialization enters a non-recoverable state.
CPU <number> machine check
error detected.
Critical This event is generated when the processor
machine check enters a non-recoverable
state.
All event logging is disabled.
Critical This event is generated when all event
logging is disabled.
Logging is disabled.
Critical This event is generated when the ECC
single bit error rate is exceeded.
The system board fail-safe
voltage is outside of range.
Critical This event is generated when the system
board voltages are not at normal levels.
The system board fail-safe
voltage is within range.
Information This event is generated when earlier Fail-
Safe system voltages return to a normal
level.
A hardware incompatibility
detected between BMC/iDRAC
firmware and CPU.
Critical This event is generated when there is a
mismatch between the BMC and iDRAC
rmware and the processor in use or vice
versa.
A hardware incompatibility was
corrected between BMC/ iDRAC
firmware and CPU.
Information This event is generated when an earlier
mismatch between the BMC and iDRAC
rmware and the processor is corrected.
Device option ROM on embedded
NIC failed to support Link
Tuning or FlexAddress.
Critical This event is generated when the PCI
device option ROM for a NIC does not
support link tuning or the Flex addressing
feature.
Device option ROM on mezzanine
card <number> failed to
support Link Tuning or
FlexAddress.
Critical This event is generated when the PCI
device option ROM for a NIC does not
support link tuning or the Flex addressing
feature.
Failed to program virtual MAC
address on a component at bus
Critical This event is generated when BIOS fails to
program virtual MAC address on the given
NIC device.
