Redundancy Unit Messages
Redundancy means that a system chassis has more than one of certain critical components. Fans and power supplies, for example, are so important for preventing damage or disruption of a computer system that a chassis may have "extra" fans or power supplies installed. Redundancy allows a second or nth fan to keep the chassis components at a safe temperature when the primary fan has failed. Redundancy is normal when the intended number of critical components are operating. Redundancy is degraded when a component fails but others are still operating. Redundancy is lost when the number of components functioning falls below the redundancy threshold. Table 2-7 lists the redundancy unit messages.

Memory Device Messages
Memory device messages listed in Table 2-9 provide status and warning information for memory modules present in a particular system. Memory devices determine health status by monitoring the ECC memory correction rate and the type of memory events that have occurred.

NOTE: A critical status does not always indicate a system failure or loss of data. In
some instances, the system has exceeded the ECC correction rate. Although the system
continues to function, you should perform system maintenance as described in
Table 2-9.

Hardware Log Sensor Messages
Hardware logs provide hardware status messages to systems management software. On certain systems, the hardware log is implemented as a circular queue. When the log becomes full, the oldest status messages are overwritten when new status messages are logged. On some systems, the log is not circular. On these systems, when the log becomes full, subsequent hardware status messages are lost. Hardware log sensor messages listed in Table 2-12 provide status and warning information about the noncircular logs that may fill up, resulting in lost status messages.
