Running Diagnostic test programs: When you start the diagnostic test programs from the Diagnostic Utility menu, you can select the tests, the way the tests run, and the number of times the tests run. Notes 1. To run the diagnostic test programs, you must start the server with the highest level password. That is, if you enter the power-on password, and an administrator password is set, you cannot run the test programs. You can only view the error messages in the test log. If an administrator password is set, you must enter the administrator password to run the diagnostic test programs. 2. If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the tests again. If the problem persists, see "Error symptoms" on page 159 and look for the problem symptom. 3. If the diagnostic tests do not find a problem, see "Error symptoms" on page 159 and look for the problem symptom. 4. You might need a scratch diskette to obtain accurate test results when testing the diskette drive. 5. The keyboard and mouse tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server. To start the diagnostic tests: 1. Turn on the server and watch the screen. If the system is turned on already, shut down the operating system and restart the server. 2. When the message Press F2 for Diagnostics appears, press F2. If a power-on password or administrator password is set, the system prompts you for it. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter. 3. The Diagnostic Programs screen appears. 4. Select 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 that appear on the screen. The actions available include specifying the options for the tests to be run, such as the number of times to run the test, whether to stop on error, or whether to use a predefined overlay that describes the tests to be run. When the tests have completed, you can view the Test Log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen. 12 Netfinity Server HMM
