Diagnostic programs
The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable
read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These
programs are the primary method of testing the major
components of your server, such as the the system board,
Ethernet controller, video controller, RAM, keyboard,
mouse (pointing device), diskette drive, serial port, and
parallel port. You can also use them to test some external
devices.
Also, if you cannot determine whether a problem is caused
by the hardware or by the software, you can run the
diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is
working properly.
Note
When you run the diagnostic programs, a single
problem might cause several error messages. When
this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error
message. After the cause of the first error message is
corrected, the other error messages might not occur
the next time you run the test.
Running diagnostic programs
While you are running the diagnostic programs, F1
displays
Help
information. Pressing F1 from within a help
screen provides a online documentation from which you
can select different categories. Pressing Esc exits
Help
and returns to where you left off.
Important
If you run the diagnostic programs with either no
mouse or a USB mouse attached to your server, you
will not be able to navigate between test categories
using the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons. All other
functions provided by mouse-selectable buttons are
also available using the function keys.
You can test the USB keyboard using the regular
keyboard test. The regular mouse test cannot test a
USB mouse. Also, you can run the USB hub test only
if there are no USB devices attached.
