Running the System Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your system, run the diagnostics before
calling for technical assistance. The purpose of the diagnostics is to test your
system's hardware without requiring additional equipment or risking data
loss. If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, service and support
personnel can use diagnostics test results to help you solve the problem.
Using Dell PowerEdge Diagnostics
To assess a system problem, first use the online
Dell™ PowerEdge™
Diagnostics. Dell PowerEdge Diagnostics is a suite of diagnostic programs, or
test modules, that include diagnostic tests on chassis and storage components
such as hard drives, physical memory, communications and printer ports,
NICs, CMOS, and more. If you are unable to identify the problem using the
PowerEdge Diagnostics, then use the system diagnostics.
The files required to run PowerEdge Diagnostics for systems running
supported Microsoft
®
Windows
®
and Linux operating systems are available
at
support.dell.com
and on the CDs that came with your system. For
information about using diagnostics, see the
Dell PowerEdge Diagnostics
User's Guide
.
