Notes 1. To run the diagnostic programs, you must start the server with the highest level password that is set. That is, if an administrator password is set, you must enter the administrator password, not the power-on password, to run the diagnostic programs. 2. If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem persists, go to "Undetermined problems" on page 215. 3. If the diagnostic tests do not find a problem but the problem persists during normal operations, see "Symptom-to-FRU index" on page 194 and look for the problem symptom. 4. You might have to install a wrap connector on your active parallel, serial, or Ethernet port to obtain accurate test results for these ports. If you do not have a wrap connector, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. 5. You might need a scratch diskette (that is, a diskette which has no contents that you want to save) to obtain accurate test results when testing the diskette drive. 6. The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server. To start the diagnostic programs: 1. Turn on the server and watch the screen. If the server is turned on already, shut down your operating system and restart the server. 2. When the message F2 for Diagnostics appears, press F2. If a power-on password or administrator password is set, the server prompts you for it. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter. 3. The Diagnostics Programs screen appears. 4. 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. When the tests have completed, you can view the Test Log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen. Also, you can view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on) by selecting Hardware Info from the top of the screen.
