HP ROM-Based Setup Utility - Manual (Page 207)

Diagnostics Utility
The Diagnostics Utility is embedded in the system ROM, and provides a pre-boot method for quickly
checking the validity of the three major subsystems of the server needed to boot an operating
system.
All three of these tests should pass if a bootable operating system is installed on the server.
If any test fails, there may be a problem booting the server. To run the Diagnostics Utility, select
Diagnostics Utility from the System Maintenance menu.
Memory Test
The memory diagnostic test uses all the processors installed in the server to test all installed memory.
The DIMMs that are installed are displayed by the cartridge and socket (or the bank and socket)
in which they are located, and errors are reported with a reference to the failed DIMM.
To run the memory diagnostic test, select Memory Test from the Diagnostics Utility menu.
For a Generation 5 server with an Intel processor, the following options are available within the
Memory Test submenu:
•
Software Memory Test—Choosing this option automatically runs the test until completion or
until you press the Esc key to exit.
