Running the Dell OpenManage Hard-Drive Diagnostics Program

 

The Dell OpenManage Hard-Drive Diagnostics program enables you to test storage components online and verify if a hard drive is functional.

 

While it is possible to use the IDE test function of the system diagnostics program to diagnose your hard drives, if you are able to access your operating
system, it is recommended that you use the Dell OpenManage Hard-Drive Diagnostics program instead. If you are unable to access your operating system, use
the system diagnostics program to test hard drives. See "

Running the System Diagnostics Program

."

 

The Dell OpenManage Hard-Drive Diagnostics program allows you to test drives attached to your NAS system through either a Dell-qualified SCSI adapter or
IDE adapter and determine the status of the attached disks.

 

The Dell OpenManage Hard-Drive Diagnostics program can be accessed from the desktop of the NAS system. For information about using the program, see the
online help.
