Apple Server Diagnostics tests your server for hardware
issues.
Apple Server Diagnostics, also referred to as Server Diagnostics, runs a customizable set
of tests to help you diagnose issues with the following components:
AirPort Â
Bluetooth  ®
Boot ROM Â
Ethernet controller Â
Fan Â
Hard drive Â
Memory Â
Power supply Â
Processor Â
Sensor Â
USB ports Â
Video controller Â
You can run Apple Server Diagnostics in Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), which
is referred to as Server Diagnostics EFI, or in Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server, which is
referred to as Server Diagnostics Mac OS X.
By running Server Diagnostics EFI, you can diagnose hardware issues that prevent
Mac OS X Server from successfully starting up. You can also run tests without
interference from Mac OS X Server, and test more than 2.5 gigabytes (GB) of memory.
However, Server Diagnostics Mac OS X provides an enhanced interface and has
more extensive sensor, hard drive, and video controller tests. For a comparison and
description of all available tests, see “Server Diagnostics Test Reference” on page 42.
