SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
The System Diagnostics runs several tests on the server.
Use the System Diagnostics program in EXPRESSBUILDER provided with the server to diagnose the server.
Test Items
The following items are tested in system diagnostics.
„ Memory
„ Processor cache memory
„ Hard disk used as a system
IMPORTANT: When running the System Diagnostics, make sure to remove the LAN
cable. When running the System Diagnostics with the LAN cable connected, the network
may be influenced.
NOTE: On checking the hard disk, no data is written into the disk.
Starting and Ending the System Diagnostics
There are two ways to diagnose the server: using the local console (keyboard) of the server itself, and using the
management PC via serial port (remote console).
IMPORTANT: Two methods (LAN and serial port) are mentioned in the Chapter 6
"EXPRESSBUILDER" as the way of communicating in remote console. Use the serial port
to run System Diagnostics with remote console. The LAN connection is not for System
Diagnostics.
Start the diagnostics program as follows:
1. Shutdown the operating system, and turn off the server. Then, unplug the power cord.
2. Disconnect all the LAN cables from the server.
3. Plug the power cord and turn on the server.
4. Use the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to reboot the server.
See Chapter 6 "EXPRESSBUILDER" for details.
