Chapter 4. Loading the System Diagnostics
The system unit can be booted either from the default boot list or from the custom
boot list. (See Chapter 5, “System Management Services” on page 5-1 for
instructions on defining the custom boot list.)
To load Standalone diagnostics from the default boot list, perform the following
procedure:
1. Verify with the system administrator and users that all programs may be stopped,
then do so.
2. Turn off the system.
3. Wait 30 seconds, and turn on the system.
4. Immediately insert the diagnostic CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
5. When or after the diskette indicator appears during startup, press the F5 key on
a directly-attached keyboard (or the number 5 key on an ASCII terminal).
6. Enter any requested passwords.
Online diagnostics can be loaded by booting from the custom boot list by pressing
the F6 key (on a directly-attached keyboard) or the number 6 key on an ASCII
terminal.
The procedure for booting from the devices listed in the custom boot list (Online
diagnostics) is the following:
1. Verify with the system administrator and users that all programs may be stopped,
then do so.
2. Turn off the system.
3. Wait 30 seconds, and turn on the system.
4. When or after the diskette indicator appears during startup, press the F6 key on
a directly-attached keyboard (or the number 6 key on an ASCII terminal).
5. Enter any requested passwords.
After any requested passwords have been entered, the system will attempt to boot
from the first device of each type found on the list. If no bootable image is found on
the first device of each type on the list, the system does not search through the other
devices of that type for a bootable image; instead, it will poll the first device of the
next type.
