When to Use the Diagnostics
The diagnostic software is a versatile tool for verifying proper hardware installation
and isolating intermittent problems that are not detected by the Power-On Self Test
(POST). You should run the diagnostic software if:
•
The server fails to boot or load the operating system software.
•
The server fails to boot or load the operating system software after you add
additional hardware such as additional memory, processors, SCSI devices,
or expansion boards.
•
The operating system hangs repeatedly and no changes have been recently
added to the software such as service packs or a new application.
•
You suspect a server hardware failure.
•
To validate server operation.
•
An intermittent hardware problem exists.
