110 Configuration Software and Utilities
111MAXDATA PLATINUM 90004R Server System
Shutting Down the Server
To shut down the server you must exit the operating system (if applicable) and then use the power
button to power down the server.
Follow these steps to power down the MAXDATA PLATINUM 9000-4R Server.
1. If the server is running an operating system, use its commands or GUI to logoff (if necessary)
and exit the operating system. If the operating system does not automatically power down the
server, then successfully exiting the operating system causes the following prompt to appear:
Shell>
2. After this prompt appears, press and hold the power button for several seconds. Holding the
power button in powers down the server.
!
CAUTION
Powering down the server with the power button does not remove all power from the system. The
+12 V standby power is still available to the system even when it has been powered down. To remove
standby power from the system you must unplug both power cords from the chassis.
EFI Platform Diagnostic Tests
EFI Platform Diagnostic Tests allow you to quickly assess the server’s hardware status, view test
logs, and determine the server’s current conguration. You can run EFI Platform Diagnostic Tests
from within the EFI environment. The remainder of this section explains how to run the EFI Platform
Diagnostic Tests.
Starting the Application
Use the following steps to setup and run tests.
 NOTE
You may also run this utility directly from the Resource CD. This causes the utility to run in a RAM
drive which means log les are volatile and will need to be copied to write-able media if they need
to be saved.
1. Boot to the EFI shell.
2. Create a directory “e\service\diagnostics” on the target drive such as a hard drive.
3. Copy the distributed FieldDiags binary le (elddiags.e) to the root directory of the target.
4. Run the following command using the distributed FieldDiags binary le (elddiags.e)
elddiags -d \e\service\diagnostics (it unpacks and installs the FieldDiags software).
5. Be sure your working directory is on the same drive that contains the test software, type in the
following command and press the <Enter> key to load and run the tests:
\e\service\diagnostics\elddiags
Entering this command causes the tests to run regardless of your current working directory. You can
also type a relative pathname that is based on your current working directory to execute the tests.
In addition to running tests, you can display system conguration information or the current test log.
To do either, highlight the appropriate option and then press the <Enter> key.
