Diagnostics The Diagnostics program uses a full range of diagnostic utilities to determine the operating condition of the computer's hardware components. For a complete list of error codes and messages, see Chapter 7, "Symptom-to-FRU index," on page 47. Note: The fans in this system may turn off under normal operation. This is a noise-level reduction feature, and should not be taken to mean there is something wrong with the system.
