Introduction
The HP bh5700 ATCA 14-Slot Blade Server component diagnostics are to be run in offline mode. The
operating system must not be loaded and the component to be tested must not be in operation. The
diagnostics described in this document are intended to be used by trained Hewlett-Packard field engineers or
Network Equipment Providers (NEPs).
CAUTION Entering these diagnostic commands on a running system can cause the system to
halt operations with data loss.
The diagnostics provide the ability to isolate hardware failures to the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) for each
component.
The diagnostics can be run remotely and (where applicable) meet software guidelines for Linux open source
code mandated by the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) specification.
The component diagnostics are not required to have a unified front-end interface for all components, as each
component will have its own diagnostic environment.
