Diagnostic Test Programs
The server diagnostic test programs are stored on the IBM
Enhanced Diagnostics CD-ROM that comes with the
server. These programs are the primary method of testing
the system board, memory, and other standard features of
the Netfinity 3500 server. 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 test
programs to confirm that the hardware is working properly.
The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics programs will isolate the
server hardware from software that is installed on the hard
disk. The programs run independently of the operating
system, and
must be run either from CD or diskette.
The server diagnostic test programs can identify most
problems associated with major components of the server:
the system board, Ethernet controller, video adapter or
controller, random-access memory (RAM), diskette drive,
serial port, parallel port, keyboard, and mouse.
An IBM Enhanced Diagnostic CD-ROM comes with the
server.
In addition to the server test programs, the IBM Enhanced
Diagnostics CD contains utility programs that provide
information about the server hardware, including the
hardware configuration. This information might be useful
in helping to isolate problems related to the operating
system and device drivers.
The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD also contains
additional diagnostic programs for non-IBM devices.
See “Running the Diagnostic Test Programs” on page 9
for information on running the diagnostic programs that
come with the server.
