DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS
Notes
1. To run the diagnostic programs, you must start
the server with the highest level password.
That is, if you enter the power-on password and
an administrator password is set, you cannot run
the programs. You can only view the error
messages in the Test Log.
You must enter the administrator password to run
the diagnostic programs.
2. If the server stops during testing and you cannot
continue, restart the server and try running the
diagnostic programs again. If the problem
persists, have the system serviced.
3. If the diagnostic tests do not find a problem, but
the problem persists during normal operations,
see “Undetermined problems” on page 211 and
look for the problem symptom.
4. You might have to install a wrap connector on
your active parallel or serial port to obtain
accurate test results for these ports. If you do
not have a wrap connector, contact your IBM
reseller or IBM marketing representative.
5. You might need a scratch diskette to obtain
accurate test results when testing the diskette
drive.
6. The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests
assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached
to the server.
Starting the diagnostic programs:
To start the
diagnostic programs:
1. Ensure that there is no diskette in the diskette drive.
If the diskette drive contains a diskette, remove it.
2. Turn on the server and watch for the IBM logo
screen. If the server is turned on already, shut down
your operating system and restart the server.
3. After you start the server, several prompts appear on
the IBM logo screen. When the prompt
Press F2 for
Diagnostics
appears, press F2.
If a power-on password or administrator password is
set, the server prompts you for it. Type in the
appropriate password; then, press Enter.
The Diagnostics Utility program window appears.
After you start the Diagnostics Utility program, the
following menu headings will appear at the top of the
screen:
