Notes 1. To run the diagnostic 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 programs. You can only view the error messages in the Test Log. You must enter the administrator 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 system hangs while running memory tests, press the reset button 3 times waiting five seconds between each reset. This procedure tells BIOS to disable memory performance enhancements for a more accurate memory test. Press F2 to select diagnostics. An 062 error will occur on the third reset; exit Setup and the diagnostics will load. Run the memory test again. 3. If the diagnostic tests do not find a problem but the problem persists during normal operations, go to "Undetermined Problems" on page 205. 4. You might have to install a wrap connector on your active parallel or serial 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 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. The Diagnostic Programs screen appears. 3. Select either Extended or Basic from the top of the screen. 4. Select the test you want to run from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen.
