SMBIOS Event Log Configuration

The System Event Log stores POST and run-time errors and events. The System Event Log is stored in General Purpose Nonvolatile (GPNV) RAM. Enabling this option displays a window allowing you to view any entries that are logged.

The System Event Log is configured to be 2 Kbytes in size, but can be made larger. When the Event log becomes full, BIOS stops logging information to it. You can view and erase event log data using the Event Log menu in the BIOS Setup utility.

The System Event Log is an inband management tool. Therefore if a blade goes down, the diagnostic information contained in the System Event Log is lost.
