Diagnostic test programs
IBM provides programs that you can run to diagnose
hardware and some software problems. Several utility
programs that provide helpful information about the server
are also included. One of these programs provides the
user interface for running these diagnostic and utility
programs.
The server diagnostic test programs are stored on the IBM
Enhanced Diagnostics CD that comes with the server.
These programs are the primary method of testing the
system board, memory, and other standard features of the
Netfinity 1000 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 you have installed on
the hard disk. The programs run independently of the
operating system, and must be run either from CD or
diskette . This method of testing is generally used when
other methods are not accessible or have not been
successful in isolating a problem suspected to be hardware related.
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), CD-ROM, hard
disk drive, diskette drive, serial port, parallel port,
keyboard, and mouse.
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 programses
for information on running the diagnostic programs that come with the server.
