Offline Diagnostics
Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) includes a set of offline support tools that
enables you to troubleshoot a system that is running without an operating system.
ODE is available on the following media:
• HP Itanium-Processor Family (IPF) Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD, for
Itanium-based systems.
• HP 9000 PA-RISC Offline Diagnostics CD, for PA-RISC systems.
HP highly recommends that you get the latest CD and update the Offline Diagnostics
for improved functionality. Note that the CD-ROMs are OS independent and ordered
separately from each other and of any operating system media.
You can order for the latest CD-ROM for your PA-RISC or Itanium-based systems from
one of the following websites:
