Diagnostic Tests and Commands

There are a number of diagnostic tests and commands that can help you to isolate a

problem with the system unit. These tests and commands are as follows:

• Power-up tests

• Diagnostic tests and utilities. You can use these tests and commands in privileged

console mode only if the console security feature is enabled and the password is set.

• Configuration display

• Error display

Power-Up Tests

The system runs the power-up tests each time you turn on the system. After successful

completion of tests, the system will either enter console mode or proceed to automatic

bootstrap, depending on the HALT action selected by the user.

• If HALT action is Default, Halt, or Restart, then the system enters console mode.

• If HALT action is Reboot or Restart_reboot, then the system proceeds to boot.

The following example shows a typical display for a system that passes all tests and then

enters console mode.
