Notes
1. To run the diagnostic programs, you must start
the server with the highest level password.
That is, if you enter the power-on password and
an administrator password is set, you cannot run
the programs. You can only view the error
messages in the Test Log.
You must enter the administrator password to run
the diagnostic programs.
2. If the server stops during testing and you cannot
continue, restart the server and try running the
diagnostic programs again.
3. You might have to install a wrap connector on
the active parallel, serial, or Ethernet port to
obtain accurate test results for these ports. If
you do not have a wrap connector, contact your
IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.
4. You might need a scratch diskette (that is, a
diskette which has no contents that you want to
save) to obtain accurate test results when testing
the diskette drive.
5. The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests
assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached
to the server.
Tips on the diagnostic programs:
1. For system board tests, first remove all installed
adapters.
2. Hard drive surface analysis can be found on the
Utility menu.
3. Check the System Error Log for entries when memory
errors occur.
4. Universal serial bus testing notes:
The USB interface test will fail with a normal
keyboard and a USB device attached.
The USB interface test will abort with a USB
keyboard and USB mouse in use.
The system will disable USB during POST with a
standard keyboard attached.
5. When viewing a test, if it has dashes (-) through its
box, it is unable to run because the relevant device is
either not installed or is failing.
To load the diagnostic programs:
1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.
If the server is turned on already, shut down the
operating system and restart the server.
2. When the message
F2 for Diagnostics
appears,
press F2.
If a power-on password or administrator password is
set, the server prompts you for it. Type in the
appropriate password; then, press Enter.
