System Event Log (SEL) Viewer Utility User Guide
1
1. Introduction
The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) records details about the system events in a log in
flash memory. Each SEL entry is a single system event.
The SEL Viewer utility provides the ability to view system event records stored on the server
management storage device of a server. The utility displays the SEL records in either a text or a
hexadecimal format. The utility also allows you to save SEL entries to a file and load SEL entries
from a file for viewing. You can also reload SEL entries from a server and see properties of SEL
entries. The SEL entries can be viewed in two modes: interpreted text mode and hex mode
This version of the SEL Viewer utility runs on the following OSes
