In Linux* SEL Viewer Utility, Serial Numbers can be color coded based on the severity of SEL
Event. This feature is currently available only on Linux*. A small panel is provided on the bottom
right corner which has a statistical view of the SEL Records. It contains the count of the SEL events
segregated based on the severity type (that is, Informational, Warning, Critical, and Others). This
feature is also currently available only on Linux*.
Saving the Intel® SEL to a file
You may want to save the SEL to a file for analysis, record keeping, or to documentation of a
system issue.
There are two ways to save the SEL to a file (the Windows Preboot Environment *version is shown
in this example):
• To save the SEL, use the following command line syntax:
In interpreted text format - selview /save MyFileName
In hex format - selview /save MyFileName /hex
• Use the File | Save menu option from the graphical SEL viewer window.
To save the SEL data to a file with a “.sel” file name extension, either in interpreted text format
or in raw hex format, depending on the mode in which records are currently displayed.
Viewing the Intel® SEL from a file
To view the SEL records that you previously saved to a file, use the File | Open menu option from
the graphical SEL viewer window.
To return to viewing the SEL records from non-volatile memory, use the SEL | Reload menu
option.
