Answer 1

• If your system is hung and doesn't boot you can view the POST logs in BIOS. For that press "F1" at boot and go to the "System event logs" option.

• If you want to check the logs while your system is up and running you have to login to the IMM. You open the IMM IP in a browser, login with your credentials and then go to the "Event log" page.

There are some other ways too, but these are the most basic / direct.

Some machines also have a big sticker on top of the box that explains some basic error "led blinking", and as always, the manual is your friend...
