Diagnostic tools overview
The following tools are available to help you diagnose and solve hardware-related
problems:

POST beep codes and error messages
The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate
the successful completion of the test or the detection of a problem. See “POST
beep codes” on page 24 and “POST error codes” on page 24 for information.
Additional information is recorded in the system-error logs. (For detailed

partition on the hard disk. For detailed information about the diagnostic programs,
see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM IntelliStation
Documentation CD.
