Viewing the test log When the tests have completed, you can view the test log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen and then selecting View Test Log. Notes: 1. You can view the test log only while you are in the diagnostic programs. When you exit the diagnostic programs, the test log is cleared (saved test logs are not affected). To save the test log so that you can view it later, click Save Log on the diagnostic programs screen and specify a location and name for the saved log file. 2. To save the test log to a diskette, you must use a diskette that you have formatted yourself; this function does not work with preformatted diskettes. If the diskette has sufficient space for the test log, the diskette may contain other data. Recovering BIOS code If the BIOS code has become damaged, such as from a power failure during a flash update, you can recover the BIOS using the flash boot block recovery jumper and a BIOS flash diskette. Note: You can obtain a BIOS flash diskette from one of the following sources: v Use the ServerGuide program to make a BIOS flash diskette. v Download a BIOS flash diskette from the World Wide Web. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/, click IBM Server Support, and make the selections for your server. The flash memory of your server contains a protected area that cannot be overwritten. The recovery boot block is a section of code in this protected area that enables the server to start up and to read a flash diskette. The flash utility recovers the system BIOS code from the BIOS recovery files on the diskette. Diagnostics 17
