5. Select the test you want to run from the list that appears; then, follow the
instructions on the screen.
When the tests have completed, you can view the test log by selecting Utility
from the top of the screen.
Also, you can view server configuration information (such as system
configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory
access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on) by selecting Hardware Info from
the top of the screen.
If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists during normal server
operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software
problem, refer to the information that comes with the software package.
Viewing the test log
If you are already running the diagnostic programs, continue with step 4 in this
procedure.
Notes:
1. The test log will not contain any information until after the diagnostic program
has run.
2. The test log is maintained in memory while the server is turned on. Turning off
the power clears the test log.
To view the Test Log:
1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.
If the server is turned on already, shut down your 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 the appropriate password; then, press Enter.
3. The Diagnostic Programs screen appears.
4. Select Utility from the top of the screen.
5. Select View Test Log from the list that appears; then, follow instructions on the
screen.
Power-on self-test (POST) messages
The following table shows error messages that can appear on the screen during the
power-on self-test (POST).
Notes:
1. The actions for some of the messages require you to run the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information about using these
programs, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu” on page 21.
2. If a password prompt appears with a POST message, type the administrator or
power-on password; then, press Enter.
