Diagnostic Software
Diagnostic software is shipped with every DIGITAL Server on the Quick Launch CD-
ROM. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities for identifying
and correcting problems with the server. The diagnostic software can be used to
verify proper hardware installation and isolate intermittent problems that are not
detected by the Power-On Self Test (POST).
The diagnostic program is a stand-alone MS-DOS package that can be run from
diskettes or from the DOS partition on the server’s hard disk drive.
The diagnostic software includes:
•
AMIDiag base diagnostic (processors, memory, and main logic board
components tests) from American Megatrends, Inc.
•
DIGITAL vendor extended tests (SCSI, network, IDE, and RAID)
•
Extensive on-line help and the
AMIDiag User’s Guide
Refer to Chapter 2, “Server Software and Utilities” for information on creating
diagnostic diskettes from the Quick Launch CD-ROM.
For additional information on “When to Use the Diagnostics” and “Running the
Diagnostics,” refer to Chapter 11. Also refer to the AMIDiag User’s Guide,
located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM and to the README.TXT file on the
diagnostics diskettes.
