This utility is available on the SmartStart CD. The meanings of the various ADU error messages are
provided in the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide.

are self-explanatory and suggest corrective actions. For more information about POST messages,
refer to the HP Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
• Server Diagnostics
To use Server Diagnostics:

b. Click Agree when the license agreement is displayed, and select the Maintenance tab.
