Chinese term or phrase: 提示
当所述第一校验处理、所述第二校验处理和/或所述第三校验处理失败时,停止配置处理过程、输出报警信息、输出提示信息和/或重新从存储器中读取所述预处理配置数据。

I felt this part is a bit redundant:
"输出报警信息、输出提示信息" (output alarm message, output (the presented?) message)

and am not sure what 提示 exactly means here.

Thank you.

notification
Explanation:
In my understanding “提示信息” here could be 2 kinds of information:

1, details describing the previous “警告信息” as a further explanation;
2, instruction on how to operate after “警告信息” appears.

In either case, “提示” could be just literally translated to be "notification".

prompt


Explanation:
报警信息 refers to text in error messages (This went wrong! Could be shown in a prompt or on a crash screen.)
提示信息 refers to text in message prompts (Hello! Please input/fix/make a decision on/take note of this. Pops up on the screen.)

These two often overlap, but the second term is much broader while the first can refer to BSOD-like failures and such. What prompts are referred to as varies from system to system. 'Notification' (as Randy suggests) and 'alert' (as jyuan_us suggests) are two such names that may work in this context, but 'prompt' is the broadest term as far as 提示 goes specifically.

Example sentence(s):
  • Follow the prompts on the screen.
  • Copy the text from any prompts that you're given.
