This displays and resets the entries in the error log. As errors occur, they
are recorded in this log. Error log information is helpful when service is
required. Figure 51 on page 99 is an example of a System Error Log screen.

This describes how to use the additional utilities available on the diagnostic
diskette. Some of these programs can be used only with specific operating
systems.

This lets you view the system Vital Product Data (VPD). VPD includes the
machine and model number, serial number, and part identification codes for
the system board and processor board.
5. Set character font
This option allows to change the default font in the server. It displays

3.4.9 Advanced Diagnostic Program
The advanced diagnostic program is intended to be used by trained service
technicians or very experienced users who can correctly interpret the advanced

An advantage of running the Advanced Diagnostic program is that if you suspect
a specific area of the server is causing a problem, you can choose to test only
that area. This will take less time than testing all of the components in the
server.
To start the Advanced Diagnostic program:
