When to Use the Embedded System Diagnostics
If a major component or device in the system does not operate properly,
component failure may be indicated. As long as the microprocessor and the
system's input/output devices are functioning, you can use the embedded
system diagnostics to help identify the problem.
Running the Embedded System Diagnostics
The embedded system diagnostics program is run from the Unified Server
Configurator (USC) screen.
CAUTION:
Use the embedded system diagnostics to test only your system. Using
this program with other systems may cause invalid results or error messages.
1 As the system boots, press <F10>.
