hp server Diagnostics for Windows Utility

The purpose of hardware diagnostic software is to provide tools for checking hardware problems. By design,
diagnostic software executes simple tests of each hardware component. Usually such tests confirm that
hardware is not the source of server problems, allowing you to focus on other possible sources such as operating
system configuration parameters, network connections, and application software configuration parameters.

If hardware problems are confirmed, the diagnostic software program can sometimes detect and diagnose the
system or specific server component causing the problem. In addition, diagnostic tools can capture information
that allows support personnel to quickly assess the condition of the server.

In order to be effective, diagnostic software tools must be used in the context of a wider troubleshooting
procedure.
