Starting the diagnostic programs This section describes the general procedure to run the diagnostic programs on either a standalone server or a 16-way configuration. You can press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain help information. You also can press F1 from within a help screen to obtain online documentation from which you can select different categories. To exit from help and return to where you left off, press Esc. Note: In a 16-way configuration, diagnostics are run on the server to which the keyboard, mouse and video are attached. To run diagnostics on the second server, the second server must be connected to a keyboard, video and mouse or to a KVM switch. Complete the following steps to start the diagnostic programs: 1. Turn on the server and watch the screen; then, continue with step 2 for 16-way configuration, or with step 3 for all other models. Note: For 16-way configuration, turn on both servers and watch the screen. 2. For 16-way configuration: When the message Searching for secondary server, Press ESC to bypass partition merge and boot standalone appears, press ESC; then continue with step 3.. The screen will display the message Secondary server has been found. 3. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup, Press F2 for Diagnostics appears, press F2. If a power-on password is set, the server prompts you for it. Type the power-on password, and press Enter. To run diagnostics on the secondary server in a a16-way configuration, perform the previous steps for the primary server first, then for the secondary server. Note: For 16-way configuration, the secondary server must be connected to a KVM switch or to its own pointing device, keyboard, and monitor in order to run diagnostic programs on that server. The procedure for starting diagnostics is the same for both servers and the merge process can be stopped from either the primary or secondary servers. 4. When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select either Extended or Basic from the top of the screen. 5. Select the test you want to run from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen. Notes: a. If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested when the server stopped. b. The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server. c. If you run the diagnostic programs with no mouse attached to the server, you will not be able to navigate between test categories using the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions provided by mouse-selectable buttons are also available using the function keys. 70 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
