Starting stand-alone diagnostics from a CD
Perform these procedures to start the stand-alone diagnostics from a CD. These
procedures can be used if the blade server is running a Linux operating system or
if an AIX operating system cannot start the concurrent diagnostics program.
You can download the latest version of the stand-alone diagnostics from the
Standalone Diagnostics CD page.
1.
Verify with the system administrator and systems users that the blade server
may be shut down. Stop all programs; then, shut down the operating system
and shut down the blade server. Refer to the documentation that comes with
your operating system documentation for information about shutting down the
operating system.
2.
Press the CD button on the front of the blade server to give it ownership of the
BladeCenter media tray.
3.
Using the management module Web interface, make sure that:
v
The blade server firmware is at the latest version.
v
SOL is enabled for the blade server.
v
The CD or DVD drive is selected as the first boot device for the blade server.
4.
Insert the stand-alone
Diagnostics
CD into the CD or DVD drive.
5.
Turn on the blade server and establish an SOL session.
Note:
It can take from 3 to 5 minute to load the stand-alone diagnostics from
the CD. Please be patient.

the function keys (F#) may not work. In this case, press Esc and the number in
the screen menus. For example, instead of
