There are two error message formats for the PowerVault 56F whether you are gather-
ing information from the front panel or using a remote
Te l n e t
session. The front panel
shows an abbreviated message and
Te l n e t

In all cases, the last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up to 64 messages
are held in a buffer. If the 64 message limit is exceeded, the messages are overwrit-
ten in a first in, first out sequence.
