For problems with HP TopTools, refer to the HP NetServer Management Reference Guide on the HP Web Site at http://www.hp.com/ DiagTools DiagTools for HP NetServers is a set of off-line diagnostic tests, including tests for system and processor components, memory and storage elements, ports, and input/output devices. DiagTools is supplied with NetServer. Located on the HP NetServer Navigator, the user prepares DiagTools software for use by transferring it to diskette. Then the DiagTools diskette is used to restart the server. A basic suite of tools checks key NetServer components, and a menu of advanced tests is available for in-depth testing. DiagTools has the capability to test the following components: • system board • processors • memory modules • hard disk packs • flexible disks • keyboards • serial ports • parallel ports • video monitor • CD-ROM drives DiagTools is an off-line diagnostic test series. Off-line diagnostics do not use the main operating system (OS) of the HP NetServer. The alternate DiagTools OS has far fewer features than the full-fledged OS. Thus, its capabilities are limited to a set of basic tests and a series of advanced tests. In addition, DiagTools does not use any tests which might write over and destroy user data. Tests which require user inputs or decisions are left to the advanced series. You can use DiagTools to support trouble-shooting to carry out the tasks listed below: • display a high-level inventory of the system under test • save and print a detailed inventory of hardware components 84
