Installing Server Diagnostics EFI
Before you install Server Diagnostics EFI, make sure that your storage device has
a volume that has at least 30 MB available and is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT). The
volume will be erased, so make sure all important data on the volume is backed
up. For more information, see “Setting Up a Storage Device for Server Diagnostics
Installation” on page 12.
To perform these instructions, you need the Admin Tools disc (version 10.6 or later)
included with the server.
If you perform this task to install Server Diagnostics EFI on an internal volume on the
server, you need administrator access to the server. If you perform this task to install
Server Diagnostics EFI on a portable storage device, you can use any computer that
you have administrator access to.
If you want to connect a host computer directly to the server, and the host computer
doesn’t provide DHCP service on the port used to directly connect to the server, you
need to create a file on the server that assigns an IP address to the server. However,
if the host computer provides DHCP service, don’t create this file. For information
about how to find out if a computer is providing DHCP service, see Network Services
Administration at:
